Jungle in S4: jungle area is an important source of income

The jungle area has also changed a lot in S4 and many jungler players may not get used to it. Today, I would like to share my jungle experience, hopefully, they can inspire you.

1. Trinkets: Totem is a safe choice, and you can change it to Lens at level 6 or level 9 if you like to gank. 
2. The wild monsters in S4 can deal much damage and jungle exclusive items and supplies are quite important. 
3. Reduce the gank frequency if you can’t guarantee the success rate of gank. It’s very important to communicate with teammates. If you don’t know the ward distribution of the opponent side, you can hardly succeed in ganking.

4. If a lane is in unfavorable situation, you can choose to turn the table. And there’s no need to head to the lane if it’s in extremely unfavorable situation because you may be double killed by the opponents in 1v2. Try to help the favorable lane to widen the gap when you are not sure of the individual skill of your teammates. 

5. Attach importance to the resources in the jungle area. You can take your jungle area as a separate line if you can’t gank well. The economy in the jungle area is as good as that on line. 

Below are some stronger junglers in my mind:

Evelynn: She is the most overpowered champion in the version, but using her can be risky. 
Lee Sin: I have to admit that he’s the most powerful jungler. 
Shyvana: Her ability to clear monsters fast improves a lot due to the changes in the jungle area. But she is often played as top solo.
Udyr: He has high mobility and good monster clearing speed. And he can be a good choice when you have no idea which one to choose. 
Elise: She owns first-rate control, escape and output abilities, but you may not be able to pick her as she may be banned in ranked games. 
Amumu: He needs certain time to develop in early game. His teammates may be under great pressure when the opponent is a jungler with strong gank ability. 

In addition, Jarvan IV, Xin Zhao and Riven can also be used as junglers as they have nice control and gank capacities. Olaf jungler seems popular in recent matches, but I don’t suggest you to pick him as he requires long period to develop and his gank efficiency is extremely low. Once in unfavorable situation, he won’t be able to turn the table.
