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.
Both are early ganker champions in this lane: Hunts kills at levels two to four, so the first wards and a safe wave decide the lane.
Rek'Sai
jungle · Early ganker
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.
Zac
jungle · Early ganker
His jump comes from deep fog. Ward inside his jungle, not just the river mouth.
Window: before four minutes
Zac's E launches from over walls far beyond normal ward lines; a deep ward on the jump spot is worth two river wards.
