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.
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.
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.
