I tried playing LoL recently but it's so...different. Can't really get used to it.
"counter jungling" has become more popular in high level play recently, but most junglers can take different routes, so saying at the start of the game, lets go to enemy golem buff to gank their jungler doesnt always work. Warding blue and red buff later on is a great idea to try to counter them, but they should have smite and unless your jungle can respond and move quick enough to the enemy buff you are unlikely to stop them. Reginald, one the top LoL players, is well known for his shaco play, where he will clear his jungle quicker than the enemy and go gank them as they try to get their red buff. He is able to later use his jack in the box as a ward and simply control both jungles.
