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.
Rek'Sai
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
She arrives unseen through tunnels. Ward the tri-brush and river, and listen for her tremor.
Window: before three minutes
Rek'Sai's tunnels dodge river wards entirely; tri-brush and pixel vision plus her burrowed knock-up threat define lanes pre-4:00.
