What? Why would you do that lol, HoN and LoL are different games and its (in my opinion) more rage inducing with kids shouting at you through the mic and vote kicks and rage quitters | ||

Then you'll come out a true man. | ||

i've choosen warwick as my jungle champion. speed is bad, but he is save and lategame he becomes a true beast imho  i feel that warwick is really bad at ganking before lvl 6 if you can't coordinate with the lane player and/or lane champ has no cc. so i have fallen into the habit to delay ganking till lvl 6. the plan is: "farm mode" till lvl 6 and then i should become more aggressive with my ult but the problem is even @lvl6 i can't force myself to find good ganking opportunities. i somehow always find some reasons to delay ganking and keep farming. of course my teammates aren't happy about this because there is always someone screaming "need gank". is there a way to improve my aggressiveness, because i feel that i never become a great jungler if i can't find the right time to gank. | ||

Just get exhaust instead of flash. It'll improve your ganks pre6. Don't waste exhaust though, it has a hefty cooldown. Check the summoners of whomever you're ganking. It's harder to gank a trist with flash and cleanse than it is to gank the support with heal clarity because trist can just jump flash away. Coordinate with your team, tell them who to kill, and if necessary have them engage first.. this is something I need to work on doing. As for not having flash.... it is useful for escaping over walls and positioning for fights and from escaping ganks and quickly catching someone by surprise with your ult, but that's a cost you'll have to make. Items that help with ganking are bilgewater cutlass and phage, though no one recommends bilgewater. I'm not very good so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I found using bilgewater and exhaust helped with my WW ganks a lot during his free week last week ^_^ | ||

Not that many people play Fiora competitively yet since she's so new. But here are 2 VODs after searching on own3d Xpecial (TSM) soloing and Snoopeh (CLG.eu) jungling Fiora. Xpecial and L0CUST (Dignitas) play Sona pretty well when they picked her a few tournaments ago. Not really sure who still consistently picks Sona after her nerf. | ||

I played WW a bunch last week, here's my thoughts: Don't gank pre-6 unless you have red buff. Even then, only gank people past the middle of their lane and have ~50% or less health. Priority to solo top and mid champs, especially champs who easily push their lane (i.e. someone like Mordekaiser). If people are asking for a gank when they're just poking back and forth with their opponent and they're both near-full health, just ignore them. | ||

It seems very hard to use, for example, Veigar, since he runs out of mana so quickly, and I don't have the runes/masteries to help out his mana problems early game. I'm only level 18, don't even have any T3 runes yet, can't go all the way down any of the 3 mastery trees, I only have one quint spot What are some good champs to use when you're low-level? The only champs that are really poor with no runes are the non ultra sustained junglers. Veigar should really be fine to play, just know that you should be very careful in your usage of his W and E early, as W wastes last hits you could be getting with Q, and E has long cooldown so you should save it for escaping of securing a kill. When you have few mastery points getting the Meditation perk in utility for the extra 3mp5 is really strong and I would do it on every champ that needs mana, it will help you alot more than like 3 ap from offense at this stage. Also buff duration is very good value for one point if you can get blues. Dont be afraid of getting way more mana regen items than guides say, as they are many times written with the idea that you will be getting all the blues. Getting 3 drings or chalice or Philo or some combination thereof is really good, there is a big difference in being able to use your skills and not. Also in lower level play its better to be more spammy, as opponents will give you lots of good opportunities to trade or hit them with spells, whereas in high level people know the matchups better and you end up using much less mana as they give you much fewer opportunities to combo them and come out ontop. For example when I play Viktor at low level people will constantly come into range with all their skills on cooldown, and I need mana to be able to punish them everytime, lower level players are also more prone to stay in lane when low, so you can harass more and still get kills as opposed to surprising them from alot of health. Against better player I wont have barely any good opportunities to hit them with my Q. So build alot of mana regen. | ||

Is there a certain pattern of creep I should attack at a certain timing or general rules of thumb every jungler should learn and apply? Thanks. | ||

Is there a certain pattern of creep I should attack at a certain timing or general rules of thumb every jungler should learn and apply? Thanks. Generally speaking, most junglers start wolves->blue. After that, it's all about specifics. Some, like J4, like to gank directly after that, others go for the rest of their jungle, wraiths->golems->red buff. You should generally be trying to clear every camp as often as possible as quickly as possible after it respawns. You need to get that farm in order not to fall behind. Attempt ganks when enemy lanes are pushed, your lanes bring great CC to the table and/or you have a key CD up (Warwick Ult comes to mind) For Nocturne, the safest start is Cloth+5. You will want to do wolves (have your teammates help you), blue buff (have your teammates leash for you), wraiths, double golems, red buff. If the situation arises, gank after that, if not, go back and buy boots. After that, it's very situational - generally you'll look for ganks while jungling, trying to reach 6 asap to take advantage of your ultimate. Also, here's a pretty decent guide to the kid. | ||
