Grandmaster Lancelot Jungle

Hey, my name is AutoSpeed and I have been a Grandmaster + 3500 (MMR cap) in Conquest, Joust, and Duel in every recent season. I'm happy to share my knowledge of the game with everyone, and I appreciate any and all feedback!

• Star at the Fire Giant side Speed Buff (or Red Buff), and group up the jungle camps with your mid laner. Once the Red and Speed buff jungle camps are cleared together, head towards your remaining speed buff. Your mid laner should help you clear this buff camp. Finally, head towards the exp camp near the Tier 1 Mid tower, presume you will clear this alone.
  
  
• You now have 2 choices. You can stay in the Jungle towards the mid lane, looking for a gank on the enemy mid laner or clear the Mid-Harpies. The second option is to head straight to duo lane, and look for a gank on the enemy duo lane (and clear Scorpion). Heading to Duo lane has a greater risk, but much greater reward if successful.
  
  
• Lancelot has a powerful early fight. Use your abilities to hit anyone within melee range, and remember the rule of thumb: The enemy laner is the easier kill, but the enemy jungler is the one that may kill you or your teamate.
  
  
• Your priorities should be: Buff Camps > Rotations > Harpies.
  
  
• You have strong early ganks, as you move around the map quickly while mounted and have a surprising amount of CC/mobility mid-combat. The duo lane is your easiest gank, but solo may be a good blue buff fight.
  
  
• If enemies are capable of CC'ing you off of the horse, cancel your horse and use Blink Rune. You do this because you can damage with your melee abilities for high burst, and The Grand Joust is perfect for chasing enemies. You can't chase them if you use your ultimate to get close, which is why you Blink Rune first.

• Begins around ~14 minutes, or when most people have hit Level 12 and unlocked their Second Relic. Most enemy teams have gotten around to warding by now, and team fights become increasingly common. Most builds have started to show effectiveness.
  
  
• Group up for team fights, but be careful initiating. Play with your support or solo to look for an early opportunity, The Grand Joust is very powerful at locking down certain opponents with the cripple field.
  
  
• If nothing happens, hang back and get ready to blink on the enemy backliners. The enemy mage is your first target, with the jungler/hunter being secondary.

• Almost everybody has hit Level 20, Fire Giant is the most important objective on the map. Starter items become unlocked at Level 20, which results in a damage/defensive spike. This means that everybody dies faster, and Team Fights are the most important thing.
  
  
• Look to harass the enemy jungler, as you can usually escape with The Grand Joust. You want to be mounted at all times, as enemies will try to blink on you if they see you off of the horse.
  
  
• Wait for the fight to begin, and run at the enemy backline. If the enemy frontline overextends, use The Grand Joust to cut them off and punish them.
  
  
• During a siege fight, you are best suited to help your team in the team fight. The aoe cripple from The Grand Joust is very powerful, but it is also your only escape. Use Blink Rune to get close, do damage briefly, and The Grand Joust out of combat. You have a higher chance of living, the enemies you hit should back off, and your team may secure the phoenix.

Lancelot is a highly mobile assassin, and his kit is designed to excel at dodging enemy abilities. When played at his best, he becomes very oppressive to play against. I'd like to use this part of the guide to give a thank you to his horse, truly the MVP at carrying fights. Thank you for making the 1v1 a 2v1 Mr. Horse, and I hope to work well with you in the future ^^
