Hi everyone! Welcome to my first ever Gwen jungle guide. This is just part 1 of 2 parts. It covers what I usually do when I play Gwen jungle and how to get an S on her! Hope you guys convert and/or have fun playing her! :D
Time stamps:
00:06 - Intro
00:51 - Table of contents
01:38 - Champion identity
02:16 - Pros
05:17 - Cons
10:27 - Runes
14:24 - Summoner spells and jungle pets / smites
14:56 - Itemization
22:16 - Jungle clears
29:01 - Power spikes!
32:15 - Matchup list!
37:11 - Bans!
37:55 - Outro
After editing thought: I don't really use cosmic these days so I didn't put it in the itemization list but I imagine it would be good if you want to kite melees / close the gap on range champs. Probably good with ghost and approach velocity instead of cosmic insight. Or if you want to go for a haste build to have your W up quicker.
Disclaimer 2: This is usually how I play her in the jungle. There are a bunch of Gwungle mains who probably play her differently! There's not much out there so I wanted to share a video for people who are emerald and below and want to try her out for the first time ^_^
As promised, here are some good Gwen jungle clear resources:

Red start (old video): • Gwen 3:04 red clear

Wow this is a very informative video! I'm usually a Gwen top player but I've been considering playing her more in the jungle since watching your videos.

Glad it was helpful! Gwungle is definitely easy to climb out of iron-emerald because no one really invades you or keeps up with the invasions in those elos (unless they are smurfing)

Long time Gwen enjoyer. Back in Season 11(?) I really enoyed playing Tank Gwen Top with Frostfire Gauntlet, Demonic Embrace and Fimbulwintwer. Since then I've been playing more standard builds on her, still bruisery, but not mostly Tank. Never really earnestly tried her in Jungle since to me she mostly felt like a worse Shyvana that scales better, but your insight is really nice to see. I've been having great success with another off-meta pick in Jungle (Shen) and always love seeing people have fun with off meta picks, especially since my main is another off meta pick, Tryndamere in Mid (don't enjoy him in Top or Jungle nearly as much).

Gwen is very squishy because most of her builds rely heavily on AP and if you don't time your W well, it might be over for her. It's a very small window in time for her to fight safely! It's hard, I wish she had more build variety but they won't make AP bruiser items like AD bruiser items because of Akali's existence lol. And tank Gwen in general isn't that great right now, she still gets blown up and does no damage. I mostly win games into an enemy Shyvana as Gwen! They are very similar, that's true. And I only played Gwen in the jungle bc I just love her design so much but I have no idea how to lane xd I went 1/10 my first time on Gwen top and I don't think I want to go back haha!

@@Faedreamlol I've been experimenting a bit with Spear of Shojin on Gwen and it actually doesn't feel all that bad. It gives a *lot* of Haste for your Q and E for a second item and you don't actually lose all that much damage compared building Riftmaker. Your passive stacks it and benefits from it, so you actually reach full stacks in just 4 basic attacks, much quicker than Riftmaker, which takes a whole 10 seconds. The damage is about 4-10% lower if comparing both fully stacked, and you can technically build both. Definitely not optimal if building Deathcap but if you're anticipating a shorter game it seems viable if you only expect the game to go to 2 or 3 items.

Love the guide, also screw tryndamere. Main reason I cant pick gwen as often as I would like is because the enemy top laner will always try to counter pick it and it can be hell for you in the late game. Teemo, Tryn, Jax, Nasus, I want to leave. Also, Ive heard of a strat that I havent tried myself personally but another high elo gwen jg player said that he likes to put 3 points into e before upgrading q past level 1, and then maxxing q. This only applies if you expect to be fighting more early on, but apparently its a lot better for early game fighting. But again take it with a grain of salt since I havent tried it myself. Waiting for part 2!

Yeah the Tryndamere matchup into Gwen is a crime. Why'd riot make their kits so imbalanced ;-; It's like an autoloss if the enemy locks in Trynd (unless your team has CC, which is rare in soloqueue adventures) Teemo i find you can eventually outscale and onetap his butt Ooooh, nice, I'll try that out in a game and make a video on it to see how it feels. Let me know your thoughts if you ever try it out too! We need more data. The Gwungle community is smol

idk if this is placebo or not, but I usually take exhaust tp into Trynd top, and he has a lot of trouble all-inning. I feel like I have more kill pressure too, cause he can’t just run away

@Faedreamlol 8 күн бұрын

@@deleanor9665 I've never played top lane before but I've heard people running exhaust, ghosting when he ghosting, buying steel caps, and getting Zhonya's ASAP to wait out his ult to survive. I play jungle though so I never run exhaust. I just pick Lillia into him if he first picks cuz she can counter him with her burn damage, her speed, and she can sleep him ^_^
