• Be Differento Good junglers understand all the basics, but never experiment and blindly follow the meta.o Great junglers are innovators; they step outside their comfort zone to learn new things.o Try to actively change the meta with new ideas and innovative strategies. (Kind of like M5 right?)o Next time you play, rationally consider using new champions, routes, different item builds, and even try different timings on counter-jungling/dragons.o With new strategies you become a more unpredictable player, and if your enemies conform to the meta then you are five steps ahead since you already know what they are going to do before the game even starts.• Mechanical Skillso Learn to effectively land almost every skill-shot, outplay others by using summoner spells at the right moments, and become very good in animation cancelling when auto-attacking. Although this is basic knowledge to some, this must be done very consistently.o To improve these mechanics, simply practice, a lot.o Always remember: "An Amateur practices until he gets it right. A Professional practices until he can’t get it wrong."• Be the play-makero As the Jungler, you are the one that makes things happen in the laning phase and even beyond. Things like ganking, warding, buffs, counter jungling, timers on objectives, killing dragons, etc. are all controlled directly by you.o You control the flow of the game; don’t wait for an ally, or even an enemy to take the initiative. Force the opponent to be reactive, instead of proactive.o You will end up making a mistake from calling the shots at some point, just deal with it and do not let that intimidate you. Take the blame for your actions and always use your failures as learning opportunities.• Avoid every mistakeo Also common sense, but even very skilled players will make mistakes such as getting caught out of position, counter-picked, counter-jungled, etc.o If even the smallest of mistakes are fixed, it results in a huge difference in the overall level of play from an individual.o Recognize these mistakes, no matter how small they may be, and attempt to iron them out over time if you wish to perform the best you possibly can.Although there are several other variables that make or break how well an individual performs, these are some key points that should be considered. Mastering the basics and understanding them completely is mandatory, but the basics can only take you so far. The professional gamers that play on an incredibly high-level all have the same amount of basic knowledge, the difference is that they extend themselves far beyond this and innovate constantly.The objective of the competitive player is to reach that height of skill, and this only happens with dedication and experience. Keep all of these things in mind as you try to gain a solid understanding of the game as a whole. Remember that at the end of the day, you are only learning the 'rules' of the game so that you can break them.
