How to have less damage when jungling creeps

Asked by DanDDude on June 20, 2018

When I'm jungling I noticed that my health is used more than pro players or streamers. Is this normal? What have I been doing wrong? This also gets in the way when I'm jungling as I need to recall many times

You also need to make sure you have the proper runes to help with your jungle clears. Most junglers will take some form of the precision tree. Often if you need more sustain, take . Know your jungler type too. Some junglers cannot do a full clear. With those junglers you want to clear your first buff, then wolves, then your second buff. Scuttle crab should be thrown in there somewhere too.

Ok tq

I would say for most champions, if they have no gap closer or mobility just walk a way from the camp a bit so your cooldowns cooldown and you can use your abilties again, do that a few times if you need to inbetween cooldowns itll save your hp.

Depends, who do you play? If you're ranged you can take almost no damage with proper kiting. If you're melee there isn't much skill involved but maybe there's a problem with your itemization (e.g some champs should skip their jungle item and rush instead).

Currently I main Irelia(laning). I've tried jungling with Nocturne, Master Yi and Irelia but I'm so bad at it that I've quite given up on jungling. I can do fine laning though.

Nocturne and Yi are as straightforward as it gets to jungle with. Maybe you're trying to do raptors or krugs at low level? They're pretty tough before you hit level 3. If you start red buff it's best to move directly to blue buff, wolves or scuttlecrab, and go back to raptors/krugs later. Also don't forget that heals you, don't use it when full hp.

Ok this is helpful. I never knew this before.

Can you specify when you lose the health, and when you farm?

Usually minions attack the nearest target, but they will change their target to enemy champion if he dealt damage to an allied champion. it may be one of the things that make you lose health. (you can prevent it by going out of vision so they will switch target again).

I'm quite new to this LoL thing so I think I used the wrong term. I think the correct term is creeps. TQ though.

CS and farming is the same term you was ok, i ment could you explain what do you mean by

Quoted:

and what role you play while farming?

Jungle. It's usually when the first 3 levels against neutral monsters and red and blue buffs. What I meant is the neutral monsters deal damage to me a lot more and I need to kill them longer than pro players

OK now i got you.

First you can tell what kind of champions you play in the jungle and members will tell you how to clear better. But the general things you should know are:
1) Kiting - more important with range champions, you should attack then move and over and over while not getting too far from the jungle champ so it wont reset. This way the monster attack you then move too so it will attack you less, while you still attack every time you can. Pay attention to more only after you deal the damage and learn your attack speed so you would do it smoother.
2) Auto attack reset - it depends on the champion abilities and items, but you can auto attack more if you use the correct ability in the correct time, for example or 's
3) Take a good route - each jungler/champion should take his route so he can clear fast and stay healthy, try look for guilds and remember that a patch that change camps or jungle items can change the route you want to take.
4) Use correctly, you should use it on the second camp after you team helped you with the first one, and use it in a way that it wont over heal you, or will heal you more if you have staff that can help.
