For early items and playing support buy courier and 8 things of mana pots. This is what you should always start out with. after this the first 500 gold i like to get ring of teacher and keep the aura on for the 3+ armor with some more mana pots remember to always keep the mana pots ticking on you and DONT GET HIT!!!!

well to get a early good tempest key at 10 min mark or earlyer then that would be to go to the first spawn right by first tower middle after you killed that camp run to the cloest one to you and (double spawn it) Double spawn is when the timer is at 0:52 secs you attack the creeps and run far away so when it gets to 1:00 you get 2 spawns. LEAVE THAT CAMP ALONE AFTER THAT!!!!!!!!! or you get fucked if its cat men or the troll looking things. you should be around level 2 still so move to another camp spawn until you hit level 3. MAKE SURE you keep on double spawning everthing you can you have to keep a eye out for that. IF you can double spawn and then pull your creeps that spawn into them this will help out for a level and you wont have to waste mana for making ghosts to kill. gank around 6 with your ult if you only get 1 out of 2 o well just run back into jungle and keep going at it.

remember when you spawn on legion side you have a harder time trying to creep in the jungle helbourne is better to play tempest on.

P.S This little guide not much of a guide but I play like this when I play normal not em.

Well, I'm going to go against the "rush pkey as fast as humanly possible" grain. Here's the thing. Team fights don't tend to start happening until 15minutes. Ganks may happen, but it's VERY rare to see a team fight before 15. Against 1 or 2 opponents glacial blast is more than sufficient in a ganking situation. So, my focus then shifts to how do I maximize my potential in the first 15 minutes, while still getting my pkey by the time the first team fight happens.

1.) Always be double stacking the pull camp and giving your (likely) solo pulls ensuring they stay near tower for safe farm/easy ganks. Keep in mind there are 2 pull camps if you're on top lane.
2.) EVERY time it's viable to gank do so. Even if you fail you're going to keep the lane on its toes and make your solo's life easier.
3.) Give yourself a defensive/gank ward at all times. If you're playing against remotely capable people they will gank you. Having a solid defensive ward up will help you and your team. If you're legion I suggest the rune vision spot to the right of your top most neutral spawn, and as hellbourne I usually keep one between the the two pull camps.
4.) If you have a carry/semi-carry with an AoE (valk is a great example since she tends to run the solo lane in this situation, heroes like CD, FA, etc.) try and keep at least one camp triple stacked as often as possible. Let them know when you've triple stacked and shift to the lane while they go and clear it. They'll come back at least a level higher for an easy gank.

So, tl:dr, focus on supporting your team and get the pkey as soon as you can. Use the fog to gank early with glacial, it has great range and you certainly don't need a pkey to utilize it. Getting a pkey 4-5 minutes early is useless compared to causing 2 enemy heroes to be under leveld, under farmed, while your solo cleans up.

what that guy above said, there is really no need to get a 6 minute portal key or whatever.. i go for bottle/boots and then pkey, usually get it around 10-14 minute mark.

buy monkey and upgrade it in the beginning then buy 4 manapots.
