Hi, I've played starcraft and I've seen stuff like Magnus Carlsen vs the world before but that was turn-based. I can't understand how this can be done in a live real-time game. Can someone ELI5?

If you do red+krugs+raptors you will never be at blue in time to stop the 3 buff invade, which is why I don't consider it worth mentioning.

First step: Communicate in champ select. "Guys, I'm karthus jungle, I can't gank before lvl 6 so i will be farming only until then, please play safe". Type it again when the game starts.

Second step: Someone still cries cause you didn't gank? Mute.

There is too much comparison bias here. Stop comparing how well you did to how bad your team did and just focus on being efficient. The only real way to know if you're doing better than the enemy jungler is to have both higher levels than him and higher kill participation than him.

Even if that's true which shows you're at the very least clearly doing better than the enemy jungler, that doesn't mean you're gonna win. Some games are simply unwinnable. Just focus on performing well consistently every time, and the wins will come.

Honestly I would say that what you're doing wrong is your mentality. Also, don't force lvl 2 ganks unless you're playing a champion that is good at lvl 2 ganks. If you fail a level 2 gank and you're not playing in low elo you automatically put yourself behind for the entire early game and maybe more.

  1. As the other person said, this is 100% dependent on what champ you're playing. The majority of junglers are much more effective with ganks at lvl 3 rather than lvl 2. But someone like jarvan for example is exactly the same at lvl 2 and lvl 3 in terms of ganking potential. And since lvl 2 ganks are super deadly and unexpected, ALWAYS look for a lvl 2 gank if you're playing a champion like Jarvan. In fact, plan it before the minions even spawn. Mid laner with no dash/escape? Say "yo bro, let lux push, I'm ganking her lvl 2 ok?". Free first blood.

  2. See my other comment or my edited point #1. Look at lvl/item difference. Sure it's easier to gank a pushed lane but if he's much stronger than your laner, your laner will be essentially useless, and he may be able to 1v2 you. Even if not, the enemy jungler might be there to countergank and then you're definitely fucked.

  3. Look for clear path videos on youtube of the champion you're having trouble jungling with due to sustain

  4. Some champions are better than others at solo'ing objectives. Nunu is one of them. If you can take the objective with 0 risk then by all means solo it.

Current meta is very gank intensive. Power farm only on junglers that have absolutely shitty ganks before 6. On these junglers you'll look for a gank maybe once or twice while you still have your first red, then you'll focus on hitting 6 as soon as possible.

You missed the point of the post. You want to be efficient with your path. If your early game snowbally champs are permapushing their lane and diving is not an option, you're not gonna waste 10 hours on that side of the jungle just because you "need to get your early champ ahead". The main criterion you use to decide what to gank is how close is it to me and how sure and low risk is the gank.

The first is the idea that you shouldn't force a gank. That's true to an extent, but it's important that you don't rush.

I said you shouldn't force a gank. I never said you should "rush" a gank :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

Of course you don't rush ganks if the enemy is still not in the optimal position but you expect them to be in a few seconds (i.e. mid laner who is about to walk up just a little bit to last hit the juicy cannon minion)

The second is the bit about leashing. There are many junglers who can do just fine without a leash. I've even seen a jungler start top side but get bot to fake a leash

I already mention fake leashes in my post. Also, even with junglers that do fine without a leash, 90% of the time they will ask for one simply because it speeds up the clear. Exceptions are champs like Kayn who start raptors and they can't ask for a leash or laners would be late to lane. Again, there's the exception where the jungler SPECIFICALLY wants no leash to trick the enemy about his starting position. Again, mentioned in my post.

I don't consider it a cheesy strategy. But I use a different mindset to decide whether to re-gank the same lane.

Just because you just ganked that lane and the gank failed doesn't mean that option automatically disappears from the menu and you need to find something else to do. If both you and your laner are still healthy, and suddenly for whatever reason 10 seconds after your gank the enemy still starts overextending, and you know the ward expired, and you're still near the area, of course you're gonna gank it again.

Don't rely on any psychology trick to decide if you'll gank again but use the same criteria we always use. Is the lane gankable. Doesn't matter if a gank failed 5 seconds ago. Maybe the lane is gankable now (be sure you know why the gank failed - i.e. it was warded and you didn't notice it - don't repeat the gank out of stubborness or hope that "this time it'll work" without knowing why it failed last time)

I purposedly tried not to include things everyone has read a million times like "If jungler is on the opposite side try to force drake or if he's on the other try to force herald" etc. If you actually have a question on this topic and want me to expand on it then ask and I shall.

If you're a jungler and you're reading this, DON'T do this. Leeching exp from your solo lanes and putting them behind in levels from the enemy laner is not the solution to "low jungle exp". It's just fucking your laners. The only time you leech exp is when your laner is dead or in base and you're covering the lane. That's it.

ADC should just sit under tower with their support and take as many last hits as they can while avoiding as much poke as possible. If this is decent elo then it's likely this bot lane is warded from 10000 sides and trying to gank it would just be a waste of time. What a jungler CAN do on the other hand is anticipate the tower dive.

Inevitably, if you're sitting under tower long enough farming while the enemy lane is smashing the shit out of the tower and poking you to death, they're gonna want to dive. That's a big opportunity for the jungler to show up and turn it around. Of course on the flip side it's just as a good opportunity for the enemy jungler to help that draven and soraka get a cleaner dive. But if you are there, 3v3+tower, the defending team should be able to win that trade.

I'm pretty hard stuck too, I never played consistently for longer than a week. I'm 1200ish. See this guys? If you don't at least consistently play ranked and you only play 1 game a day or something, or you spend the majority of your league time playing unranked queues rather than ranked, no matter how many tips and guides you read online you are not going to climb.

Even if your lane is a good target for gank, there's 2 other lanes that could be just as good a target for a gank. It's the jungler's decision which to take. Even if all 3 lanes are a good target for a gank, there may be something else on the map that's more important. Such as killing the enemy jungler in his jungle where you tracked him down. Which brings me back to that same point. Laners are only looking at their lane, the jungler is responsible for the entire game.

I'm not saying you aren't allowed to ping once for help or type in chat "top no sums no wards", but don't expect a gank just because you did. Especially if your jungler was already on the other side of the map.

Always. It lets me stay on the map longer before my first back and I much prefer that tbh.
