He's one of the best junglers right now. you really can't go wrong with LEEE SIN, DA BLIND MONK.

Lee Sin also has a ridiculously high skill ceiling if you like to do goofy things that wrap up to work out in the end.

I always use the TL ts3 server. You can create a passworded channel there, a lot easier than setiing up a personal server.
Be nice, buy wards and don't feed double buff.

I was wondering where you went...

Also, Free Win is the rich man's shaco. Get red, gank a lane, get a kill, then go gank another lane and get another kill, win the game.

Even if he don't clean as fast, he's definitly one of the three beter jungler in the game right now.
He's more of a ganker or invader tho.

ok, i need to not be the worlds worst solo top.

first step: how do i deal with enemy junglers at the start especially?
i always feel like i cant do anything because the second i do, some jungler pops up and kills me. Often they actually do that, too.

Try to determine what he's going to do according on where he starts, and which jungler it is too (Maokai can gank at 2, or even 3, but he's more efficient if he waits until 4 for that, while Shaco's better off ganking early if he starts at red). If you don't plan on backing early and it's an aggressive jungler, you can ask your support to ward top for you before the minions reach his lane. Also, CV. People really underestimate it.

Don't go melee the ranged minions if their jungler can gank you at level 2, ward on your first back then do whatever you want.

Learn jungle routes and figure out where they're starting. For example, if you're vs a lee sin, you know he's going to start double golem, so if you're blue side where purple side's golems are at the top of the map, you need to play more passive for the first few minutes because he's going to try a lvl 2 gank on you right after golems.
Basically, you need to try to keep tabs on where the jungler is. CV helps. Paying attention to the mini-map helps. Knowing jungle routes helps. Playing passive until you can back for a ward helps.

I play mainly jungler and top and I feel its pretty much needed to know how to play junglers, in all roles really. At least know the limits of each one so you can know approximately potentially fast he can clear, and how much damage he will do, when he usually ganks, etc. Once you get that down, its just a matter of taking precautions. For example, most champions that start blue/wolves will be done first jungle clear by ~4 minute mark, so if they did not gank yet, chances are they are either recalling or getting ready to gank top. If you are top, just tone down aggression and play safe for a bit at that time.

I find (touhou) Techno/Trance works best for me!
But won't playing metallica be more fitting with them screaming about killing the enemy and stuff like that?

Just had the weirdest win ever (which I won't share since I raged).

I have Rammus jungle.
Rumble afk until the 4 minutes mark. Goes top lvl1 VS lvl4 Cho, who I tried to occupy a little.
Bottom gets double killed by Blitz/Graves as Sivir/Soraka.
Sivir announces she'll go afk since Rumble has been afk until her death and the game is therefore lost.
I gank bott, sivir afk in bush and /dance while I get her 2 opponents at sub 100hp.
I back (and begin the raging)

Long story short, it went something like 4-12 at the 20 minutes mark, with each lane outcsed, 3 towers and 2 drakes for the opponents. They had a fed Kennen and Graves, and a Jarman, so really strong teamfight potential. First teamfight : we kill all of them except Kennen :o
So we're kind of «wuuuuuuuuuut» since we really weren't in the mood anymore (3 3/2 surrender votes), Graves afks, we proceed to rush the Nash, he comes back, we ace them. We take an inhib, ace them again, take an inhib, ace them again. 24-12 win oO

This was really funny and learned me that even if certain players are absolutely terrible in lane, they can be very good teamfighters. Our Cassio was a very good example, she was very patient with her ult and always got 3-4 into it, which was followed by my ult and Rumble's ult. The Sivir who whined in German for 10 minutes while /taunt in hooks was actually a very good kiter. Our Soraka had very good reflexes for silences on Kennen and heals on me/the carries.

1400 elo is just so weird @_@

it depends entirely on who you're playing, who the enemy is playing, what the enemy jungler is, etc etc etc

there's no set way to play top lane early

would you ever miss it?

It's a lot like SC , there are timings and if you know them then you know when to look out. For example a normal clear from blue start finishes at about 3:20 and the jungler will probably be around red, so if you're blue side then make sure you're not overextended at that time. The Shaco bullshit gank can be as early as 2 minutes so if you're against a Shaco then just play super safe until you know where he is. I don't know much about Lee Sin but I think he can red gank a little bit after 2, maybe 2:15? Again if you're on blue side be careful around that time.

IMO the best way to learn top lane is to just pick someone you like playing, then just learn every matchup by playing that character against anyone.
