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.
Shaco
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.

Window: before three minutes
Deceive + boxes enable pre-3:00 ganks you cannot see coming; deep river/pixel wards spot him before stealth range.
