In this video I'm going to cover ten tips
that will help you become a better jungler. Jungle is my main role and I have thousands
of hours playing it. I wanted to make this video because a lot
of the jungle guides out there right now are outdated or super long. The information in this video can be applied
to all seasons and is not meta dependent. Whether you are new to the role or already
an experienced jungler, there is something for you to learn from this video. This first tip is my favorite and will seriously
help you play better. Mute anyone and everyone that is annoying
or toxic. In the jungle, you are going to take a lot
of blame ESPECIALLY in lower elo. Even if you think something WAS your fault,
muting people will help you focus on YOUR gameplay, which is the key to learning and
improving. Number 2, timing - Timing is key in the jungle. Good timing will help you stay ahead of the
enemy and put pressure on them. Ideally you want to be at your camps as they
are spawning so that you are farming efficiently, and the enemy can't invade. You should also be aware of the enemy's jungle
timers and look for opportunities to steal them, which is a great way to give your team
an advantage. The next tip is to not overcommit when you’re
trying to help a losing lane. Contrary to every bronze players belief it
is actually not the jungler's job to save someone whose been solod 3 times in the first
4 minutes of the match. By trying to help them you might end up putting
yourself behind which will just make things worse. If an enemy laner is fed it is probably a
better idea to spend your time and resources getting your other lanes ahead so that they
can help you deal with the raid boss later. This doesn't mean you should never help someone
whose behind, and of course things can change situationally, but it's good to understand
when something is a lost cause. Tip 4 is to make sure you are maintaining
a balance between farming and ganking. Newer junglers often tend to spend too much
time looking for ganks, which can cause them to fall behind. It is also bad to focus entirely on farming,
and you need to look for opportunities to put the enemy behind. This is a pretty complex topic, and I don't
want to take too much time explaining it in this video. I'd be happy to make a video that covers when
and how to gank in further detail so if that’s something you'd like to see let me know in
the comments. Five, Map awareness - One of the most important
aspects of playing jungle is having good map awareness. Make sure you keep track of enemy gods and
their positions, as well as buff timers. Knowing where the enemy is and what they're
doing will allow you to make informed decisions and increase your chances of success. number 6, Itemization - Itemization is crucial
in Smite, and this is especially true for junglers. Make sure you frequently check the enemy's
builds so you don't get caught without percent pen while their mid laner builds a surprise
breastplate. It might even be a good idea for YOU to go
defense in some situations, like if their only magical damage is the support. Tip number 7, communication - Communication
is esssential in smite. Make sure you're keeping your team informed
of your movements, and potential objectives. Let them know if an enemy uses their relics
or ultimate. Good communication will help you coordinate
ganks and objectives with your team, increasing your chances of success. Next up we have Wards - As a jungler part
of your job is to help control vision on the map. You are going to be roaming a lot which allows
you to put wards in places your laners can't conveniently access. Wards help you keep track of enemy positions
and jungle timers, and can help your teammates avoid ganks. nine, Teamfights - The junglers traditional
job in teamfights is to focus down key targets like the ADC or mage. Try to avoid being seen, and let one of your
tanks start the fight before you go in. This will help draw their attention and maybe
some abilities away from you and make your job a lot easier. I could make a whole video about how junglers
should play in teamfights so let me know if you want to see that. Finally, the most important tip for becoming
a better jungler is to practice. Experiment with different junglers and strategies. The more you play, the better youll get. I also recommend watching high ranked junglers
play so you can learn their pathing and decision making. And thats it. If you enjoyed this video please like and

to cover the other roles, and which ones youd like to see first. Also, I am going to start streaming my ranked
climb back to GM on twitch so if that’s something you want to see go follow me there.
