So, when I play Jungle Shyvana, I tend to go….crazy.
Started at my wolves, into Blue. Immediately on getting blue I rushed to the enemy jungler’s Wraiths. Knowing jungle Malzahar and how slow he can be, I knew I’d be fine. After taking his wraiths I then decided to steal his Red. I leashed his red into the bush and was rather low, at around 200ish health when he showed up. Seeing his red not there, but the minigolems attacking, he knew I was stealing it. I smited the lizard and instantly ghosted and tore out of there. No way he was going to catch me with Boots1, W active and Ghost.
I then continued jungling, stopped a Malaharz gank mid against my Ahri.
Both my buffs drop off, so I go to MY red, which is still up to take it, and I notice that its about 6:50minutes into the game. Based on Malzahar’s speed, with or without a leash, I knew their blue would be re-spawning just after 7 minutes. I tell my Ahri to drop out of mid and accompany me over to their blue, underneath we found Malzahar at half-health mid-golem. We ambush him, I pick up a kill and I continue to take his blue, and then donate my blue to Ahri.
After many ganks with the amazing Krystaire as our Solotop Mundo we were far ahead in gold and kills.
The game continued well and I stole every single Red from Jungle Malzahar and every single blue but the first one. Kept him below level 6 for at least the first 10 minutes and even secured dragon on every spawn once we took it at 13 minutes.
Something just clicked that game, I don’t know if its the insane jungling speed with Shyvana (with just over 40% Attack Speed from Runes and Masteries) or what, but keeping track of the enemies buff timers, dragons timer, enemy positions (without wards, sadly, the one thing I wasn’t on top of) just felt like second nature that game.
:D
