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.
Rek'Sai
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
She arrives unseen through tunnels. Ward the tri-brush and river, and listen for her tremor.
Window: before three minutes
Rek'Sai's tunnels dodge river wards entirely; tri-brush and pixel vision plus her burrowed knock-up threat define lanes pre-4:00.
