#How do I stay on level better as a juggler?

It feels like I am always behind on gold and XP sometimes three or four levels even though I’m killing my camps as fast as I can. This problem was not nearly as severe the last time I was playing about six or eight months ago and overall, I’ve just been having a miserable experience. This last week.

Jungle overall has a lower level than the other lanes. It's how they made the jungle economy. So you will very often be behind in levels to the enemies

In my experience, you gotta clear your camps and then immediately try and find a gank. If you get multiple successful ganks you will at least be relative to the laners in level. If you dont get value out of the ganks, you can fall behind easy especially if enemy jungle is doing well.

Jungle economy does suck rn so i feel you

As the jungler, you should only really look to compare your level to the enemy jungle at first. If you're finding that you are falling behind in levels/clearing camps too slowly, you may want to look into changes in your build. (Items/Skill level orders)

To be successful at jungle, you shouldn't be trying to prioritize camps on a hard set rotation. You want to keep an eye on your lanes as you move about, this way you can prioritize successful ganks/saving your teammates from enemy ganks and pressure. If your laners are fine/not in a supportable situation, then you focus your camps.

Objectives are a big focus as the jungle, however they're not solely YOUR responsibility. Everyone on the team plays a part in securing them. Commonly you should look to get a pick in one of the nearby lanes to free up your team laner to help with the objective (Fang/Orb). Both objectives AND towers also give global gold/exp which can help with staying on level or even getting ahead and making your job easier.

Step 1 try and play without the scoreboard to back you

#

Then you play better

#

More likely to comeback cause in your senses you know the mistakes, 0/2 is not telling you the mistakes you made other than dying

Just take the opponents jungle too and you will be fine with xp.

But in all seriousness. If you have a great time management your lvl will be fine. Also you can crash lanes when your laner isn't there. If your lane rotates/is dead you can crash the wave in the tower, so that it will bounce back and your laner has a better situation. You should never make the situation worse for your lane, but if you understand wave management you can take lane minions and help your lane with it. You can either reset the lane with crashing or stop the lane from crashing and set up a freeze for your team.

Honestly, so long as you have relatively decent hand eye coordination it shouldn't be too hard..
Be sure to learn the Cascade Pattern w/ 3 balls, as this is the foundational juggling pattern. You may use scarves or bean bags if you’re a beginner. Scarves fall slowly, and make it easier to learn the pattern at a slower pace, and bean bags won’t roll away when dropped, so maybe less frustrating for some...

Not sure what this has to do with predecessor though, but good luck!

Help with laning. Staying in jungle to farm your camps seems tempting but ultimately your role is to contest Fang and Prime but also to control jungle vision. Poking into lane to upset the 1v1 or relief so they can back will yield you lane xp and gold thays worth more than jungle camps and easier to grab.

This is bad advice. If you are jungler you get reduced xp from lane minions. The minions you steal from your teammate in lane you just wasted that xp. Thats why under jungler it tells you “don’t steal minions or farm”

If your teammate is dead and you need to push the lane for them that’s fine, but don’t steal xp from them because it helps the other team by weakening your teammate.

After the 20 minute mark the xp range is increased for junglers.

Farm the blue buff, red buff the first 3× and get the 4 and 2 camp around the time they re-appear in the jungle to be happy jungler
