Describe a jungle pathing strategy optimized for a burst damage assassin in the mid-game, prioritizing ganking opportunities.

A jungle pathing strategy optimized for a burst damage assassin in the mid-game, prioritizing ganking opportunities, focuses on maximizing proximity to vulnerable lanes, efficient buff management, and proactive vision control. The primary objective is to be near lanes where the enemy is overextended or has low mobility, allowing for quick and decisive ganks. This starts with taking the buff that enhances ganking potential. For example, the Red Buff provides a slow effect, improving kill potential. After securing the buff, the assassin should prioritize pathing towards the lane with the highest gank potential, typically a lane where the enemy is pushing aggressively or has used their escape skills. This path should also include placing deep wards in the enemy jungle near that lane to track the enemy's support rotations and avoid being counter-ganked. If a gank opportunity is not immediately available, the assassin should efficiently clear nearby jungle camps to maintain their farm and experience while remaining close enough to capitalize on any developing opportunities. It is important to cycle back and secure buffs as they respawn to continuously enhance ganking potential and maintain a level advantage. This cyclical pathing ensures that the assassin is always prepared to gank and that their farm does not fall behind, maximizing their impact on the game. The focus should not be on full jungle clear but rather optimized and quick pathing that allows for maximum ganking opportunities.
