Jungling is the role dedicated to clearing neutral monster camps in the jungle rather than farming a traditional lane. The jungler earns gold and experience from these camps and uses Smite to secure major objectives such as Dragons, Rift Herald, and Baron. Because the jungle spans large areas of the map, junglers constantly navigate through fog of war, using strong Map awareness to track enemy movements and avoid unnecessary risk.
Beyond farming, junglers influence the game by applying pressure through timely Ganks, protecting lanes, or punishing overextended opponents. They are responsible for establishing and contesting Objective control around key parts of the map, making their decisions heavily impact early momentum and mid game flow. Effective jungling blends efficient clearing, smart rotations, and coordinated team play to shape the pace of the match.
