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.
Evelynn
jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
She's weak before six. Bully your lane early, then carry a control ward for her stealth.
Evelynn farms to six, then Demon Shade makes ordinary wards useless; her pre-6 ganks are among the weakest in the game.
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.
