jungle farm

Baron von Jiggly··1 votes·381 views

ok so i have had a few matches where the jungler on my team or the enemy team focuses more on his farm than ganking. i understand this if you have your going FF build. however remember that kill or assists add to that build up. so thinking that farming is all i need to do instead of helping your teammates is just foolish. i mean telling them to play safe when they are literally being dove and their lane is pushed all laning phase. you have chance to help them but instead focus on farm thats not being a helpful jungler at all and fucks your lanes when the enemy jungler is ganking loads because of no counter-ganking.

Champs like udyr and master Yi it is understandable to farm but screwing over your team for it isnt worth the lost. never get the feeling you can carry your team with the FF build. always think of helping like you should be doing

Yeesh, grammar. I'm sorry but this was a little hard to read.

On a slightly more serious note, you have to be fair to the Jungler in question. Some Junglers' banks simply won't work without, say, their ultimates unless the opponent laners are incredibly pushed up. I mean, diving towers is one thing, but if you just plainly lose a fight from the middle of your lane for example, you simply can't blame the jungler for that.

You also have to consider how far behind a laner is to their enemy laner. If they are behind by more 600 gold (about 2 kills or a few waves), ganking them starts become a liability as one simple screw up can lead to their death anyway, and in worst case scenarios, both the jungler and the laner could die. While I realize this is a nuclear example, there are situations where your lane is simply far too behind for even the jungler to save anyway. And you can't blame it all on the Jungler for falling behind in the first place; too many times have I seen people die before the Jungler even gets to their second buff camp (seriously how do you manage this?!).

Finally, you have to consider a given champion's power spikes. Many AD/Auto attack champions are PHENOMENAL mid to late game tower destroyers, for example. Their contribution to the team is to destroy towers quickly and gain objective control, rather than kill gold. Not just FF junglers btw, some Elder Lizard Junglers apply to this as well. You need to give them the opportunity to get their items before you can ask much else, especially considering they often lack the CC to devote themselves to banking early.

Look, I sympathize with you, Junglers who clearly don't know what they're doing and farm forever even in the face of incredibly easy ganks can all die to Teemo shrooms for all I care, but there are often reasons behind these things.

FF doesn't offer many stats for ganking until you've finished stacking it. Elder lizard is good for ganks right away.

Also, FF or not, it isn't the junglers job to save your lane. It's great when he does, but that isn't his job. He needs to focus on farming and snowballing the lanes that are doing well.
