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.
Jarvan IV
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
His flag-and-drag lands from range. Stand behind your minions and ward river at 2:30.
Window: before three minutes
E-Q crosses distance no normal gank can, so hugging your own minion line and early river vision beat the knock-up.
