Sick of Dying to Early Jungle Ganks?
I'd say about 90% of Junglers finish their clears around ~3:20. Always remember to ward common entrances to lanes around 3:00 to spot them before they get to you ;)
This means around 3:00 you should:
Bottom lane: Keep a ward in the "corner" bush on purple side or in the tri-brush if you plan on pushing. (opposite for a blue side start)
Mid lane: If you have info on where their jungle started, ward the opposite side of your lane, either in the brush that connects to the river or the "pixel" bush further out.
Top lane: Ward the tri-brush or the corner brush if you plan on pushing up. (swapped for blue side start)
Of course using this strategy in a game doesn't make you immune to early jungle ganks, however; it does help you spot out a majority of them. Also, if you're scared of level 2 Jungler ganks, just play safe and don't push up until after you've placed your ward at 3:00.
