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.
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.
Nunu & Willump
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
The snowball comes straight down the lane. Stand off to the side and ward at 2:30.
Window: before three minutes
Nunu's Biggest Snowball Ever travels in a straight line and grows; lateral movement dodges what a ward makes visible in time.
