As some of you know, I main Top and Jungle although I can play all roles (Hate Support > ) So this is just a few key things you should know as a jungler.
If people are pushing their lane (making their lane go past the mid point closer to the enemy turret) I don't even waste my time going to that lane.
1) it's a danger to be in one place standing there for too long of a time
2) Standing there=loss of cs, xp, and more importantly a gank to another lane that needed it.
This is the reason I try to tell people who are new to always keep their lane at the mid level. If you are always pushed to your turret, that means you can't handle your lane and you need a gank. If you push too hard, it shows the jungler you are more than capable of handling your lane. It always mindboggles me when I see someone go 0/3 by 7 minutes and they are pushing the enemy turret...Like really wtf?!
As a Jungler it is also your duty to place wards, maybe not many but if you have an extra 150 gold, buy 2 wards. It can only help. The common misconception is that it is always the supports job to ward. THIS IS NOT TRUE. It is everyone's job to ward. The only person who should not be warding their lane is the adc, and that is because they already have a support.
Talking about warding, if you know they have a ward somewhere. At lower elos, you probably won't wind into this much. But if you know they have a ward somewhere, place a vision ward and remove it, if you expect ganks. For three reasons
1) You now have a ward that covers a spot from an enemy jungler
2) You know that the enemy in your lane, does not have a ward there.
3) Your Jungler can gank alot easier
