In general, what is the quickest path through the jungle?
Has anyone figured out the fastest jungle path in league of legends to get to every jungle monster? Including the enemies starting in your home base.
Assume no items, abilities or summoners to help you move faster just base movement speed and a walk around the jungles to every camp including the crab. I'm just looking for the fastest route by walking.
Best Answer
Each champion has a different clear speed and strength in the jungle. There is no defined jungle path, and with each game, the jungle path should change to avoid following predictable jungle patterns which the enemy jungler can read, utilize and abuse.

Stonewall generally has updated videos on new jungle paths, decision points and best clear path.
Personal preference: Gromp->Blue->Wraiths->Red->Krugs->Wolves->Back.

What is the best jungle path?
The full clear jungling path is the preferred route for beginners. This path allows players to kill all the jungle camps in the starting quadrant first. Then, they move on to the next quadrant to destroy the other three camps. The path starts with red buff followed by Krugs, Raptors, Wolves, blue buff, and Gromp.How do you path in the jungle?
The Beginner Kayn Jungle Path is a full jg clear that starts on the Red Buff with Kayn leveling Reaping Slash. After killing the Red Buff and reaching level two, you'll want to level up Blade's Reach (or Reaping Slash) and head over to the Krugs camp & clear them.A Path Through The Jungle

Answer 2
The shortest (?fastest) path starting from base is to first go to Golems, this is closer as the crow flies than Gromp and you also do not need to deviate as much from that straight path.
From Gromp go to red and then wraiths, then go to scuttler. However if you want to optimize it completely you should have a ward in the river so that you know where the scuttler is, if it's all the way near bot (or top depending on which side you're on) after you get to wraiths you should go to wolves next and then gromp then blue then scuttle then scuttle.
If it's closer though, then from wraiths go to the scuttler, now from here go to the other scuttler then blue -> gromp -> wolves.
However there are a lot more than you should consider when choosing a jungle path then just the shortest distance. Clearing time for instance changes drastically depending on your champion and/or items, which will mean that certain routes might be better.
Also to consider is the respawn time, so your first clear may be faster, but your second clear might be slower for instance. Usually you'll want to make sure you get the buffs sooner so that they respawn sooner giving you more gold sooner, for this reason some people choose to go red -> blue. Which gives you a lot of gold (and two buffs) for less work, meaning you can gank with the buffs that make you stronger.
Also you could time when you take red in order to give you the health boost when you need it more so that you can continue jungling for longer which may mean you don't have to go back before you have enough money for that next item.
