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.
Vi
jungle · Early ganker
Her charged Q gank is a guaranteed knock-up. Ward river and hold your escape for it.
Window: before four minutes
Vi's Vault Breaker closes lanes from fog at level three; a dash spent early into her gank converts to a death.
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.
