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.

Warwick's W tracks any enemy under 50% HP with bonus speed; staying topped up removes his gank pathing entirely.
