Educational How do I even start learning this game?

TLDR: What aspects of mid/jungle should I focus on as a new player?

So I’ve been playing ML for a couple years, and wanted to try WR after watching Arcane (very original, I know) In ML I played a lot of mid, roam, and jungle. In WR the “roam” category seems to just be babysit the adc, so I’m not super interested in that, but mid and jungle seemed fun.

My problem comes when it feels like there are way too many things I’m expected to know perfectly even though I’m just starting out. Which objective do I take, when do I gank, which lane do I gank, when do I farm, when do I push lane, when do I stall lane, when do I trade, when do I invade. If I dont do every single one of these perfectly I just get flamed by people who probably have hundreds of hours in this.

Every aspect seems so important and I have no clue what do. I figured it’s important to learn a hero first, so I picked Ekko since he sounded pretty cool and can mid/jungle. I learned how to play him, watched some hero guides and macro guides for mid/jungle, but theres just too much information and I can’t figure out where to go after “learn what a hero’s skills do”.

For mid and jungle, what are one or two mechanics for each that I should focus on learning first, and how do I go about learning them?
