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.
Both are farming scaler champions in this lane: Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
Fiddlesticks
jungle · Farming scaler
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.
Nocturne
jungle · Farming scaler
He barely ganks before six. Push early, then hug tower the second he hits ult.
Nocturne junglers full-clear to six, then Paranoia deletes overextended lanes; early aggression is free, post-6 overextension is not.
