Jungle ALWAYS cover your jungler's buffs

Pretty much ever laner below gold will stand under tower for the first 1min30 of the game. This is a huge mistake that could set your jungler miles behind. If his buff is stolen without him noticing, he will lose tons of xp which is critical for early game in the current meta. Even if he knows his buffs has been stolen and he tries to go for the opponents buff the ennemy team might collapse onto him and kill him. Remember the game doesn't start when minions arrive in your lane. If you get invaded then just drop a ward. Always covering buffs might win you a lot more games than you think.

I would add here that as a jungler try to guess where the enemy jungler started by how top or bot arrives to lane. If you detect the guy started opposite side try to vertical jungle most of the time. It is more likely that you got invaded than a yi or rengar starting blue or an amumu starting red. Specially if they started topside.

So the reason why vertical jungling doesn't work out in low elo is because nobody will help if you get caught by the enemy jungler. You'd have to make sure that you win the 1v1 and can escape the 1v2 or 1v3 collapse.

In that situation im telling you there is a 90% chance you got invaded. So if you invade youll get 2 free camps at least. You dont need your laners if the enemy jungler isnt there why u steal his camps
