What decides the jungle
A tactical read of the jungle matchup, written from LaneDiff's champion notes: what each champion threatens, and the one thing to do about it before three minutes. It is analysis, not a match sample, so there is no win rate on this page.
Briar
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
She dives in a frenzy past your minions. Ward at 2:30 and hold CC for her leap.
Window: before three minutes
Briar's W self-cast commits her fully, so one held stun during Blood Frenzy turns her level-3 gank into a shutdown.
Fiddlesticks
jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
He farms to six, then ults from fog. Ward the deep brush near your lane before then.
Fiddlesticks' Crowstorm from unwarded fog is the whole champion; his effigies fake wards, so real deep vision before 6:00 decides lanes.
