A question on jungling styles.
So one of the ways I like to jungle with certain champs is to counter jungle. Deny opposing buffs which can free up blue or even red buffs for my own Mid and ADC, controlling dragon throughout the game, and pressuring every OTHER lane with split pushing, etc. This is not to say that I am absent from ganks, absent from team fights, etc but much of it depends on the opposing team composition and how the flow of the game progresses.
My point is I typically don't get many kills and sometimes I don't even do that much damage to champions. In a very recent game, I was crap talked throughout the game. After the game, I was also sh** talked because of my low damage to champion total. His argument that my damage to champions was lower than even our Braum support. I had 4 kills and 5 assists with a 30% kill participation, which is admittedly low. But the opposing Rammus had zero blue buffs throughout the game, they lost control of red buff around 20 minutes of a 36 minute game, I took every single of the six dragons throughout the game, set up and controlled each of the 2 barons, and applied split push pressure on whichever lane the enemy team was absent from.
Most of my team didn't care, but this one player was ridiculously abusive about it. The question is.....can the counter jungle split push map pressure jungler work in silver/gold mmr? It's not "meta" assassin/early gank junglers, but I like being diverse with my jungle play. This all might be a moot point with the upcoming jungle changes in Season 5.
TL;DR - Is non-meta jungling, counter/split-push acceptable play in lower MMR?
Thanks!
