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

She hunts early scraps in your jungle. Don't chase her, and cover your jungler's entrances.
Window: before three minutes

Viego

Viego paths for a fast full clear, then ganks off the reset; the danger window opens around 3:30, not level two.
