Tutorial Makro Jungler Immortal

Storyline / Context

• The video is a macro-jungling tutorial (no narrative story).
• It focuses on building “immortal”-level decision-making: how to draft, farm, win Retribution fights (Retribution contest / Retrri battle), and play objectives from early game to late game.

Gameplay Highlights & Key Tips (Macro Jungling)

1) Drafting / Team Composition First (not just “jungler type”)

• Jungle heroes are treated as:
  • Tank junglers if your team doesn’t yet have enough “tank/durable” presence:
    • Examples: Fredrin, Barats, Baxia, Uranus, Akai
  • Damage junglers if your team already has enough tanks
• Instead of caring only about class (assassin/fighter), focus on your team’s composition:
  • Dive composition → pick jump/in-entry junglers:
    • Natal, Joy, Lancelot
  • Front composition → pick DPS carries suited to sustained fights:
    • Link, Fanny, Leomort
  • If unsure → pick versatile hybrids that can do both:
    • Joy, Guinefir, Xborg

2) “First shop” Retribution (Retrri) item choice

• Buy the appropriate Retribution based on your hero’s play pattern:
  • Blue Retrri: if you need mobility or must keep distance
  • Red Retrri: if you’re agile and want to chain fights one-by-one
  • Purple Retrri: for tank junglers
• Core idea: your Retrri choice should match how you want to fight.

3) Early-game lane pathing (gold lane ↔ XP lane)

• Early jungle routing depends on where the lanes are set:
  • The route described is: start from the gold lane to the XP lane
  • If gold lane is top, use that route
  • If XP lane is top, use the XP lane route
• Risk: you may get bullied.
  • If you have hero power advantage → fight
  • If you’re behind → don’t die, run away, and farm elsewhere
• Major early mistake:
  • Don’t last-hit/finish minions in a way that reduces gold efficiency
  • The video notes that your gold can become halved, which is strategically bad.

4) Objective setup and Turtle (early carry objective)

• After clearing monsters, rotate to the XP lane to enable early snowball pressure.
• Turtle success depends on matching last-hit damage in the Retribution contest:
  • Each jungler has a “last hit damage” number.
  • Examples:
    • Leomort: skill 1 + Retrri combo
    • Hellcur: skill 2 + Retrri combo
    • Balmond: ultimate + Retrri combo
• Rule of thumb:
  • If you win the damage last-hit check → focus on turtle
  • If you lose → focus on fighting/forcing disruption instead of letting them win Retrri cleanly

5) If you can’t out-last-hit or can’t outduel (cross-map steal plan)

• Example scenario: Link vs Baxia
  • Link can’t win early contests through last-hitting or direct fighting.
• Strategy:
  • Cross the map
  • Go to the opponent’s jungle far from the turtle
  • Steal their monsters
  • If possible, disrupt the enemy gold laner’s rotations

6) Post-5-min farming route changes: Damage vs Tank

• Before 5 minutes:
  • Tank and damage junglers largely share similar routes
• After 5 minutes:
  • Damage jungler:
    • Clear fast
    • Focus on:
      • Clearing jungle
      • Farming minions alone in empty lanes
    • Avoid gold lane if it won’t let you deny XP properly
    • Let the XP laner rotate elsewhere so XP isn’t shared
  • Tank jungler:
    • Clears slower because tank damage relies on true-damage bonus from Retrri boots
    • That bonus activates on jungle monsters, not minions
    • So:
      • Don’t treat minion farming as the primary plan
      • Use tank power in midgame by:
        • Entering enemy jungle
        • Stealing monsters
        • Pressuring opponents
        • Forcing “small wars”

7) Winning Retribution battles (3-step execution)

Use these steps in the Retrri contest:

1. Calculate your last damage
   • “Retrri + your most painful skill”
2. Correct positioning
   • Don’t stand in the pit or in positions the enemy can easily target
3. CC the enemy jungler right before Retrri
   • Reduce their ability to contest
   • If you lack CC, ask your team for help

• Emphasis: team unity during war matters.

War / Teamfight Roles (Tank vs Damage)

Jungler Tank role

• In fights:
  • Stand at the front
• Common tank mistake:
  • “Open the map and kidnapping” (overcommitting map actions)
  • While you wait for respawn, the enemy takes objectives
• Proper tank priorities:
  • Guard your MM (marksman) and mage
  • Prepare CC to punish the enemy MM if they’re out of position
• Positioning rules:
  • Don’t show up incorrectly on the map
  • Hide in grass / flank carefully
  • One CC timing error can get you “kidnapped” (picked off)
• Target priority:
  • MM → Jungler → Mage

Damage jungler role

• In fights:
  • Go in at the back
• Wait for tank engagement timing; don’t appear early without a plan.

Late-game Objectives & “Lord Dance” (Macro Advantage Play)

Late game tank vs damage

• Tank jungler becomes the second tank
  • You’re essentially a walking Retribution threat
  • The war starts when your team opens the map and prepares the fight
• Common late error:
  • Clearing lanes too far from the Lord
  • If you’re far from Lord, the opponent can finish Lord immediately
• Damage junglers can clear farther due to mobility, but still must avoid opening the map prematurely—one CC can lose the teamfight.

Lord Dance / Retrri advantage concept

• Goal: prevent the enemy from bursting Lord in a way that makes the contest outcome 50-50.
• Method described:
  • Slow push the line
  • Set up vision
  • Open the map near jungle and attack Lord slowly
  • Don’t stand in the Lord pit
  • Attack while opening the map in the middle of the river until several opponents appear/reveal
• The objective isn’t “finish Lord immediately”:
  • Confuse opponents between Lord pressure and the pushed far lane
  • Far lanes force the enemy to send someone to handle waves
  • That creates a window for your team to start the war
• If it doesn’t work:
  • Keep “thin-stitch” pressure and repeat until the opponent blunders.
