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.
Ivern
jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
Ivern free-farms and rarely ganks early. Shove your lane, and don't chase into Daisy later.
Ivern's marking clear leaves lanes alone pre-6; his threat is Daisy plus brush placement in mid-game fights, not early ganks.
Nidalee
jungle · Jungle invader
Starts the fight inside your own jungle, so tracking and numbers matter more than pathing.
She hunts early scraps in your jungle. Don't chase her, and cover your jungler's entrances.
Window: before three minutes
Nidalee wins any early fight that starts with a landed spear; invades and counter-ganks are her game, chasing her is losing.
