Ascend Your Jungling -- 4 Strategies To Climb Solo Queue

[@virkayu]

Please share and comment! Thanks for voting and for watching! I hope these tips can help you out. I will be using the poll as a guide, I appreciate you all helping this channel grow. Have a good Sunday 💪💜

[@xxplick]

you need to make full gameplay videos besides these short guides ..make a full game play video with sejuani, shyvana, kai sa, vi and elise in the jungle for 8. 7 season .. lets see some good full length game play guide with commentary with what you did and why etc like other youtubers with full game play guides in the jungle

[@scaffoldingguy5717]

Hello Virkayu; Could you please make a video of the subjects "when to gank", "how often to gank", "when to quit ganking for farm". I can't compete the gold players in silver games. All game along, my eyes on mini-map. Whenever i see the enemy jungle, approaching a lane or killing mobs in his jungle, i always go and clear the opposite side of his jungle, or gank the opposite lane. Orrrr I try counter ganking when i feel he is coming to gank. But they still play with 130 CS and with 5-2-4 score, they always multiply me by 2, for both score and CS. I really can't understand how the hell this happens. Especially, the CS. They even don't clear my jungle till mid game, i still can't catch them.

[@xxplick]

yes i agree with this as well .. make a video just on what Murat Sevgi said . low elo don't know these things and it will help alot

[@chromosocks202]

This video is actually amazing. I don't know why, but you are like the only jungle youtuber who gives tips on all the small things that make a big difference. Cheers!

[@virkayu]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@notme0126]

You know, I find myself watching these not as much to learn how to jungle but rather to hear you explain things.

[@aliochr7046]

notme todorov , same for me. It helps when i brain lagg in game : ''what was the thing he said ?''🤔

[@StrayKittenLove]

notme todorov In addition, I use these videos to help me understand what »should« be going through a jg's mind when I'm laning.

[@everest1298]

Your channel is so damn good, man. In an age where League content has gotten stale, unoriginal and repetitive, your videos are like a breath of fresh air. Keep it up, man! Looking forward to seeing more content!

[@virkayu]

Thanks a lot :D

[@StrayKittenLove]

Arthur Jackowski I'm really surprised he has so few subs and views.

[@vtv4373]

Dude you deserve like 100k subs++ Always providing quality contents.

[@ElexOrXele]

Your jungler tutorials helped me up so much on becoming a better jungler. Thank you so much for these videos and keep doing what you love! ❤

[@RedEyeVisionROCKS]

For real , i have to say that im super happy that there are still this type of LOL videos that expalin all the details of what its being said with a specifik video example cuz this is the best way for everyone that wants to learn smth about this game . Keep it up man . Really really good content . Peace ✌

[@joshgoncalves5314]

The segment on counter ganking was really interesting. You really extended that lead longer then I would have thought possible!

[@danielmedinadouriet805]

josh Goncalves feeling bad for that Elise

[@unclekayn6645]

Thank you Virkayu for this much needed content, the effort you put in is admirable we can only see more growth from here you do you fam one love!

[@virkayu]

Thank you for the nice comments as always! Glad the guides are still found useful, and I have a great subscriber base to support that channel - hopefully we can keep growing together!

[@handsocks]

Thanks so much for these guides, as someone is who is trying to switch roles I really appreciate the in depth explanations, and clear instructions on how to problem solve. My biggest weakness right now learning jungle, is not knowing what the right reaction is to certain situations that happen more often in my lower elo games. I've just started and so my games are honestly weak, but with these tips and instructions I hope to come back a few months from now with some good news! Again thanks so much.

[@ecenita]

I always watch your videos. Super underrated. Thank you for all your informative vids!!! Forever sub here!

[@snilby2921]

Virkayu your guides are the absoulute best, Period.

[@virkayu]

Thank you for thinking so!

[@shandias7680]

Your videos are so smooth tho... I'm glad I found your channel, even if i'm not a jungler player I look every damn video of urs... keep it up bro, cheers from France !

[@darvinbaezhernandez233]

Im new here but i really love how pro ur videos look. Keep up the good work. It would be cool if you did one on lee sing😄

[@anynameftw]

I love your videos! now I am way more aware of the map and less afraid of my plays!. Thank you :)

[@fluffymoogle7737]

Amazing guide! All the strategies compliment each other nicely too. Some things can only come with experience I believe, but your videos do help a lot. Thank you, sir.

[@virkayu]

Thanks, Fluffy! Yeh, a lot of that stuff becomes very fluid with experience, but I always found being aware/labelling something can help you be more cognizant of what you're doing in game. Thanks for watching!

[@SirTrollingham]

I like how your videos are extremely informative and entertaining at the same time.

[@virkayu]

Thank you :)

[@redrabbit2401]

Man these tutorials are amazing! My favorite part was Brain Lag. XD

[@virkayu]

Thanks! When I saw the replay I couldn't figure out why I flashed so long after her.. it was the only explanation :D

[@rikukuparale4815]

I already knew all these stuffs but i'm just lazy HAHA Great video so much effort! Thankyou for being so indept on these videos. you deserve more subs bro!

[@tengurius3464]

I really enjoyed this video! I mean like everyone should watch this video, it not only teaches you about how to jungle to the max, but also how to be a better teammate. Keep up the good work on all these videos, I quite enjoy the setup of it and it's really easy to understand. I also agree with you on looking at evelynn ahem I mean yeah you shouldn't need to look at her in base, but I mean can't resist!

[@phaego_san]

Dude! This was very helpful You deserve more subs😁

[@virkayu]

Thank you :D

[@DerDodo1302]

Loved the video. The information was nicely packaged and was fun to watch, even though the information itself wasn't really new. P.S. I srsly love that editing.

[@virkayu]

Thank you kindly :)

[@azaraiya]

It's new to some people LUL

[@alixvapp]

Really nice content ! I am surprised by the information you share, and how you show them. I subscribed, you're really good man !

[@virkayu]

Thanks a lot, and welcome!

[@oppie316]

[@virkayu]

Thank you for the really nice comment and for watching!

[@nameless458]

Great vid dude keep up the good work

[@everyminutecounts]

This is one of THEE best in deoth description on playing jg

[@91405Daniel23]

There is so much information in your video that I sometimes have to rewatch, slow down the frame rate to 1/4 speed, and sometimes pause just to take in what you're explaining or what you are doing in the video.

[@zxcsmexxy]

"İ HEROİCALLY block the ezreal from hitting her" LUL 4:09

[@virkayu]

:P Intended, 100% she would've died!

[@zxcsmexxy]

Virkayu No heart? Feelsbadman :(

[@virkayu]

💜

[@lonelee3362]

really good video, first youtuber reacting to requests exactly what i needed ty hop i can earn some lp now :)

[@paoloenrico5413]

This is really hard to teach to others coming from a jungler main myself because you only learn these things through experience but you've done it nicely

[@virkayu]

Thanks!

[@dispora4790]

I'm so glad that you are still making videos. I can see that you put so much time into these and put a lot of thought into them. Your videos have helped me out so much and have inspired me to climb the ranks as a jungler

[@typicaljunglemain6307]

You have taught me so much, ty! It's helped me so much with my high school Esports team!

[@virkayu]

Happy to hear, not only that it helped, but also that you actually have a high school team - I hope it goes well!

[@typicaljunglemain6307]

Virkayu Thanks! 😁

[@vhworks3428]

I was missing these videos! Nice! :D

[@virkayu]

Thanks :)

I love your editing :)

[@virkayu]

Thanks :)

Just by the title, i can feel the awesome incoming video :=)

[@virkayu]

:D

[@maximilianschinkel5943]

really nice editing and its smart too ;-)

[@virkayu]

Thanks a lot!

[@BabyCalypso]

This was so well explained that my bronze brain was actually able to comprehend something like this for once; if i remember how to actually do any of this or to actually apply it to my games is a different thing though

[@Raferoll]

very well done! :D i hope i will improve my jungle now :D

[@Cobra84uk]

I errr lag flash lmfao another great classic video always in depth detail.

[@lefroste6370]

i personally would die to see a youtube video that mentions topics that no one talked about before,since most videos are kinda copypaste content for views,there are small differences that you really need to find out to help you get good,but it's uncommon for people to know it and mention it.thanks fam

[@jorgenjs1936]

Nice vid man really helps

[@virkayu]

Glad it does, thanks for watching!

[@pizzaguykarson7282]

Gonna try to use all the tips I can, and maybe you could do a Jungle Graves guide some time soon

[@MrFootball10000]

Hey loved the video so much detail more than any channel out there but one question could you make a video on Zac it would be interesting to see what amazing details you have for him that will help me. Thank you and have a great Sunday

[@leotamayonavarro8625]

Another amazing Vid 👌🏻

[@white-ep7yf]

Your more helpful than those proguides bullshit keep it up ^^

[@virkayu]

Thank you!

[@shukles7819]

Good vid as always and could you also do one on how to deal with trolling mates?? Just had an inting ad janna top....

[@lilyverilla4431]

Another excellent guide. C:

[@virkayu]

Thanks :)

[@rodrigomejia2997]

very good dude, i liked it very much

[@johnnylamonte3451]

Wanna say that you do great stuff and these vids give me the info I'll need to up my jungle game. That being said, what video would you recommend for someone just starting to really take the role seriously?

[@Victormn1997]

You're de boss!! Greetings from México

[@virkayu]

Hello to México! Thanks for watching!

[@jcurysimoes]

Have you considered moving the watermark on your videos to the lower left corner of the screen? You are a jungler, you understand how important it is to keep track of the minimap on the lower right corner, and your watermark is in the way.

[@mvtthew03]

Your tutorials are so f... good. keep it up tho.

[@BunBros]

That bonus tip is something i never knew

[@virkayu]

:D Glad it could help!

[@noluzhere8319]

These intros getting better everytime

[@alixvapp]

I don't know if I can ask this but I'll try anyway : your videos are really cool and very informative. Your champion choices seem to be good to the situations you actually show on the videos. My personal champion pool are centered on melee carries such Master Yi, Xin and maybe Shyvana. How do I adjust myself in order to apply your advices ? For example Since Yi or Shyvana does not have any CC, how can I take the lead in the early game ?

[@addambarcelos]

nice way to start a sunday, league video xD

[@virkayu]

is there any other way?

[@jaeger4703]

I don't understand youtube... Your channel is so underrated.

[@virkayu]

Thank you! And yeah, I don't understand it either lol randomly will recommend some videos and then other times recommend nothing.

[@jaeger4703]

Virkayu I mean, in your opinion, is it really worth it? Taking hours out of your day, editing and talking over videos? I guess what I'm asking is, do you enjoy making your content? What drives you?

[@virkayu]

I work full time (teaching) and hadn't made videos for a very, very long time so end of 2016 I just started messing around. A year ago this month, I relearned some editing (montages) and basically found myself just getting frustrated with my own lack of ability to rank up in my limited free time, and was annoyed at the lack of knowledge I was seeing and seeing as I couldn't capitalize on it, decide to try my hand at tutorials to help people learn more and rank up faster. I would love this to be a full time thing, but that's down to the amount of subs/views I have plus any potential support from the community/sponsors. I have no idea where this will go, but if it never becomes full time, I hope to at least help some people win more and have more fun in ranked and it'll have been worth it - but it won't go on forever unless it is sustainable financially for me. I would like to make other types of content/different games as well so I guess, aside from helping/teaching, I just enjoy making videos in general... we'll see where it goes.

[@jaeger4703]

Virkayu well I enjoy your content and thank you for taking time out of your day to answer my questions.

[@hound7723]

i got 5 s in a row with jax because of your guides

[@hamzaa9777]

Virkayu the KS God

[@virkayu]

Can't be, didn't even get the kill ;_;

[@davidguerrero3147]

Great video! I'd be glad to know how do you do the "Line Effect" which looks like a Lightsaber from Star Wars?

[@virkayu]

Video Copilot free 'Saber' Plug In. Simple KZbin search will bring it up!

[@chrisrijo7869]

The part where you let drav get a kill brought a tear in my eye

[@virkayu]

T1 was having that issue the day before, and my Draven had 0 kills... so I thought about that, and I wanted to extend this kindness. He got like 870 gold, and he was happy. Worth.

[@brankoraickovic7989]

Thanks for this video,I just broke my 10 loss streak 😊

[@virkayu]

Well done! Now go get a 10 win streak!

[@Ehndur]

I understand the first point but what is really frustrating is when you leave your camp to try to help out a teammate but he still dies too soon to be saved and you end up reseting the camp and losing time. I hate wasting time in LoL :D

[@illhavetokeepthisthingasan3828]

Great as always! What do you to edit your videos?

[@virkayu]

Thanks! Premiere Pro/After Effects and Photoshop for graphic elements.

[@kevinrichter2046]

You make so good videos sadly that you have onl 29k subs

[@squishy5553]

Nice Vid :) You got my like and sub Why just 29k subs ?

[@virkayu]

Thank you and welcome! Well I had 1k in August last year so I think it's going okay so far! I appreciate every new sub though and do look forward to growing more :)

[@squishy5553]

1 Mio in 2019 incomming :D

[@mihirjoshi4513]

When the jungler plays well like virkayu ... the team seems good ... just bcoz of the jungler

[@Avhedhjdgg]

Press like , go watch the video then just wait for the next one , much luv

[@virkayu]

Thank you for watching :D

[@nickyp4512]

Hmm Lets see... My least favorite part was None of the video! The video was great

[@Adam-gt6ew]

Graves' win rate has been insane recently. Your opinion on him?

[@AimanJami]

hey virkayu!! pda or conq or new lethal tempo(upcoming 8.8) on warwick?? and also do u play udyr??

[@KevinWangz]

Hi, I noticed that when you were talking about immediate rotations, you would always finish the camp before leaving to go help. When do you decide if you need to leave immediately or if you should finish the camp first?

[@lotad4626]

@Virkayu i will look forward to a guide where you explain how to play jungler like shyvana or other heavy farmer / similar one . Can shyvana playstyle be associated with the counterganking one in the video ??

[@virkayu]

The Evelynn vs Elise? Yeah, everything I did there you could do with Shyvana. The lack of CC hurts her, but that's the inherent problem with farming junglers.... you lack the same pressure and if all your lanes get destroyed, then you're gonna have a harder time. I do like farming a lot though, which is why I play Evelynn who can clear quickly. In the previous video like this (Elevate Your Jungling), I used Kayn while farming/counter jungling a ton.. same thing could be done with Shyvana.. and you can throw in those solo drakes/heralds in there too. Shyvana is better at counter ganking than straight ganking anyway.

[@lotad4626]

Virkayu thanks a lot you are really helping me out in my climbing with your video and answer keep it up man

[@scorpionpoison4719]

hi man thx for the video but i need help from you can you play yi and show to me how to play him in the jg

[@alecvbhg5770]

Damn thats a load of info in so little time 😅

[@markostupin885]

i dont see anyone use saber effect this mutch ahhaah great video

[@virkayu]

I like that plugin a lot XP

[@Hsrharry]

Thx for the Tips time to climb

[@virkayu]

Good luck!

[@thespacemonkeys3380]

Niceee

[@elitengan]

You understand the game to a Master Tier level. Do you know why you are unable to attain a higher rank than Diamond 4 or is it because you do not push that high?

[@virkayu]

Good question. Combination of things, but that's at the core of it. Each season in the past I took long breaks as I got fatigued because I have always worked full time even since I started playing League so I have never played nearly enough to improve my mechanics and in game performance to that level. To use FPS as the example: I know where to go, what weapon to use, but I can't aim as well as the other guy (I'm also 30 by the way lol). Because of that realisation, I often add a layer of challenge by playing off-meta champs or spamming stuff that isn't that good, newly released or is simply obscure. The higher you get, the harder it is to win with that but given I don't have unlimited time to play, I first and foremost want to enjoy the champion I am playing, with winning a close second. For example, last season I got Diamond 4 playing Ornn jungle/support 90% of the time, and this was before he came the OP god and more when he was 35-45% win rate! Because League is played in my 'downtime' from teaching, I don't always have the energy to focus on all the little things I'm actually aware of, and that tilts me too (I've lost a lot from IRL stress leading to tilt in game). So, I'd say half the games I play aren't learning games or games where I'm focusing on improving because of that. I would like to get at least D3 this year, but it'll have to have be with a champ I enjoy spamming that is also strong enough with my playstyle. We'll see if I have the motivation/mechanics! lol Sorry if it's a bit long, but I mostly just get insulted for being low Diamond rather than people realizing you can know things but also not be as good at applying them in real time.

[@elitengan]

I understand. From what I can see in school, I can respect how time-consuming teaching can be. I also follow the rule of playing what I enjoy, I played an assortment of high damage champs even throughout tank metas and still managed to attain Master Tier. Macro and Micro are hard to seperate as both rely a lot on each other but mastering Micro allows for you to build an amazingly beautiful house on top of the wisdom of a good Macro foundation.

[@bdblank3572]

Thank you

[@virkayu]

Thanks for watching!

[@hamzaa9777]

Nice Intro

[@Abhijit_mitra]

good shit :D

[@MrSw00bz]

dude I subbed to you awhile ago and im already gold 2

[@virkayu]

Don't stop!

[@mauzilus]

I have one simple question: I tend to pretty much always invade my enemy jungler at level three after doing my second buff, since, for some reason, my clears tend to be a few seconds faster. Is that a better option than early ganking or not?

[@sovereigncharm288]

Thoughts on Sejuani as of late? Would you support a partial revert of the midseason rework?

[@virkayu]

I'm glad she's way down in win rate and I would like to not see her again for a while given how much she has been played and been at the top for so long lol Still probably functional but definitely no where near as strong as she was. I played a crap ton of Zac and Sejuani over the years, and have hardly touched them since the reworks. I hated them. Would love a revert, even partial.

[@sovereigncharm288]

Do you think a revert would remove the 'hate' people show towards her, considering alot of it is aimed at her extreme crowd control and two seconds of tankiness at the start of a fight?

[@treymtz]

Wait is kai'sa a decent jungler? I thought she was only an adc. Since I'm currently in low elo and don't have the luxary of relying on teammates for Common sense things is it still viable? Or should i wait until i carry myself out to like gold for something like this?

[@killingspeerx]

Well we ever get our Rengar guide at this point? :')

[@JonahLim19]

I know I'm a bit late cuz I just subbed yesterday but is it possible to carry from the jungle?

[@virkayu]

Thanks for subbing! Very much so. Can have the most impact on the map at all times.

[@weaszle2440]

is kai'sa a legit jungler?, and not just NB3 kappa 123 pick

[@virkayu]

legit once you've had some experience with her, or if you play Kindred so you understand the jungle marksman dynamic. I was really bad at the start, and my team trolled because I picked it, but once I got the hang of it - it can be kinda disgusting. I think now it's considered a strong pick but only with those who know Kai'Sa and, most important, because she's so strong in general. We'll have to see after whatever nerfs Riot puts through on Tuesday if she can stay there. First Ornn and now Kai'Sa, I fear, will be some champs I loved bringing to the jungle but get nerfed out of it :(

[@superjd97]

You're a Big Fish in a small pond,aren't you Virkayu ;)

[@FrostEnceladus]

Is this still a relevant video in season 9?

[@jasonkonstantinou1675]

or better what keeps you from Climkbing with this Mutch Knowledge

[@virkayu]

Think of it like I'm a basketball coach. I know the theory of shooting, I know how to shoot myself, I can show you how to be the best shooter you can be, but I lack the talent/ability to do that myself accurately. That being said, I bounce around Diamond and I usually just pick weird stuff like Ornn jungle at the end of last season and try and win with that handicap. Never been a meta spammer as I get bored pretty quickly :P I don't really have the time to play enough (I work full time) to really push my limit, and when I do play it's 50% win, 50% enjoy the champ I'm playing. I much prefer giving you guys the information to reach your peaks than trying to do that myself. Hopefully that answers your question!

[@Theoceanismoist]

I almost died in the first 3 minutes where you just literally just pointed out all the mistakes I've done that gave me a lost after failing to keep the lead that I've gained. Most of those are my aatrox games. Maybe that's telling me something.

[@virkayu]

Yeah, you kinda want to end before it gets too late with Aatrox. Use that mid game spike and break open the game. Played as him a couple weeks ago actually :P

[@Theoceanismoist]

That's exactly it. I am able to get a huge lead early, but somehow I manage to brain fart in every game so hard. I gave the opponents a comeback. From 6/0/3 to 6/12/5 in 6 minutes.

[@Theoceanismoist]

That's an exaggeration. Don't read into to it much.

[@virkayu]

Well, at least you got 2 assists in the 6 minutes? :P

[@Theoceanismoist]

Don't tease me.

[@elysium379]

Could you do a guide for my boy graves?

[@brahahaga]

Is there any good tank jungler for low elo? I was playing rammus and had a 61% winrate but it was getting really boring to play the same champion over and over

[@virkayu]

Warwick/Skarner/Jax/Nunu are the strongest choices.

[@Kurto.]

Zac is also really useful

[@cookiesandcreamy1]

Very informative and educational (as always), however, I think the reason you haven't got the subs you maybe deserve is because you're generally playing in plat elo. Now, i'm not saying you have to be high elo to give advice as that would undermine all coaching, however, to be taken fully seriously you need to show that all of this advice translates to results (LP). I do understand that the majority of the player base is plat and below, therefore, these videos are largely for their improvement (so it makes sense to demonstrate these tips working in that elo). Although, I do still feel showing some higher MMR gameplay would add a bit more substantiation to what is already solid content :)

[@virkayu]

Thanks! And yeah, fair assessment (especially regarding the coaching comment) and I understand what you mean, but there were more Diamond clips in this one than Plat (that's my second account I use to try stuff/new champs) specifically the Volibear example and the Evelynn vs Elise example which were the main examples used. The Kindred gameplay I recently did was also D4-ish. I'm never gonna have Masters/Challenger because I hate most meta champs, I take breaks from playing and I just don't play enough or have time/will to make that attempt (but personally I'm simply not good enough). I can explain everything I understand and know to people, but, to use FPS as an example, if I simply can't aim very well with my mouse because I'm just not that good, despite knowing where to sit/line of sit etc, then I won't be able to apply the advice as well :P My goal for the content is to show people what they need to know to get to Diamond and, if they are good enough and dedicated, to make that push to the top, and considering that's 98.5% of the playerbase, I'm okay with that. Any higher elo players with that goal should seek relevant coaching from the likes of LS etc as I am unqualified for that. Hope that doesn't come off as defensive, it's not at all, just sort of spilling my thoughts on it because I've had a ton of ignorant comments about this sort of thing (not yours). Thanks for watching! :)

[@cookiesandcreamy1]

Ah I only checked 2 of the accounts which were plat 3 and 1 i think, so my research was a bit off! Yeah i understand what you mean, I peaked D3 on an account I made last year (doing boring meta shit) and honestly don't have the willpower anymore to try and grind to high diamond/masters (that is assuming i'm even capable aha). I really appreciate your response though! Not defensive at all, well articulated and totally fair :) I now have even more respect for you! All the best mate :)

[@Resh1337]

Not sure if you are godlike or the enemies are 2 year olds apes

[@virkayu]

LOL I like this..

[@3up3rn0va]

I think it's both XD(You win comments section my dude)

[@Resh1337]

Virkayu there are always some questionable plays or INTeresting decions made by your teammates and enemy. You are actually deliviring 1v9 footage. Love it and keep up the good work :D !!

[@debileklaze924]

R E S P E C T !

[@virkayu]

T H A N K S !

[@yusufhany3291]

I'm in low elo but lost couple of game that the enemy counter jgl me and ward my jgl and all of their team know my place and come to kill me even in their jg how i can deal with it ??

[@virkayu]

Usually playing something more aggressive so you can do that to the enemy or handle it better, or putting more wards yourself so if they invade your jungle, and you see it, you can go and steal THEIR jungle. Watch enemy laners behaviour, if they start to come to you, just leave. It's not worth dying for camps. I did a video on this also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXOuaGWcj9OHgck and kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqO9lZt-gJeVptk

[@unclekayn6645]

GG DOGGY!!!
