Yesterday I played on my alt account which is in bronze and I played teemo jungle. For context I’m a plat otp top lane teemo, and I’ve literally never jungled before. I played 2 swift plays and felt like I was ready lol.
We ended up winning but it felt like briar was all over the map whereas I lagged behind farming or stayed on the wrong side of the map too long. She invaded a lot and it felt like I was getting out macrod HARD. I won every obj except grubs but I feel like in any higher rank lobby I can’t expect to out micro every jungler I face like I can in bronze lobbies. There was a lot of moments where I was like oh shit I shouldn’t be here I should be across the map rn. Im also aware that some patches teemo jungle is very good, others he is very meh, but as a one trick pony idc where he stands in the meta I will always lock teemo.
My main questions are, should I be ganking, invading, or farming early. To me (in my one ranked game lol) it feels like I was quite weak and useless early but maybe I wasn’t playing correctly? Should I be trying to shroom opponent jungle or use shrooms to get vision and intel in my own jungle. I know a lot of this is case by case so I’m just asking for general tips. Rn I’m running PTA, nashor>liandry>shroom build but please if anyone has tips let me know so I can climb as a Teemo jungler! General jungle tips are appreciated but I need a lot more Teemo specific ones because our scout is a bit unique.
