jungle · Farming scaler
Clears camps rather than ganking early, which leaves the lanes free to play forward before six.
He full-clears and scales. Pressure lanes early, and save hard CC for his Highlander later.
Master Yi ganks poorly and farms toward two items; punish the map early, and stacked CC, not damage, answers his ult.
Rammus
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
He rolls in faster than you can react. Ward river early and don't push without vision.
Window: before four minutes
Powerball closes gank distance instantly from level two; Rammus punishes auto-attackers hardest, so vision, not trades, is the counter.
