Kha'Zix
jungle · Jungle invader

He looks for the level-two buff invade. Leash fast and light your jungle entrances early.
Window: before two minutes
Kha'Zix wins isolated 1v1s from level 2; an early ward on your own buff entrance turns his invade into a losing fight.
Nocturne
jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
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.
