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.

Xin Zhao

jungle · Early ganker

Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.

He all-ins hard at level three. Hold your dash for his charge and ward river early.

Window: before four minutes

Xin Zhao's three-hit knock-up plus W slow wins any early skirmish he reaches; escapes spent before he arrives are deaths.
