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.
Master Yi
jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
He full-clears and scales. Pressure lanes early, and save hard CC for his Highlander later.
Master Yi ganks poorly and farms toward two items; punish the map early, and stacked CC, not damage, answers his ult.
