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.
Warwick
jungle · Early ganker
Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
He smells blood below half health. Reset or heal before he crosses the map for you.
Window: before four minutes
Warwick's W tracks any enemy under 50% HP with bonus speed; staying topped up removes his gank pathing entirely.
