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.
Elise
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
Her level-three gank is elite. Ward river by 2:45 and sidestep the cocoon.
Window: before three minutes
Cocoon plus rappel makes Elise's level-3 gank one of the strongest in the game; river wards at 2:45 buy the dodge window.
Graves
jungle · Jungle invader
Starts the fight inside your own jungle, so tracking and numbers matter more than pathing.
He wins early jungle fights. Never face-check, and light your buff entrances by three minutes.
Window: before three minutes
Graves out-duels nearly every jungler pre-6 and invades off it; brush control turns his auto-reset burst against him.
