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.
Fiddlesticks
jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
He farms to six, then ults from fog. Ward the deep brush near your lane before then.
Fiddlesticks' Crowstorm from unwarded fog is the whole champion; his effigies fake wards, so real deep vision before 6:00 decides lanes.
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.
