Jungle Camps Stealing Reportable?

Fiz Khalifia··3 votes·4,034 views

I've been playing League of Legends for quite a while, since late season 3. Recently, I started maining jungle, specifically Rek'Sai. I really don't like it when people steal my jungle camps without asking. One day, I had a long and tiring day, which I specified pre-game. And a Jax on my team took initiative to turn my casual League game into hell. He constantly stole all my jungle camps, and at first I politely asked him to stop. He ignored me until the point where he had cleared my jungle and I was telling him in all-caps to back off. Eventually, I got tired and just typed, "report jax please." in /all chat, to which he replied, "Sucker, you can't report someone for stealing jungle camps." In the end, I just reported him for unskilled player. However, after I gave it some thought, why doesn't Rito have a report option for Jungle and Kill Stealing? I would just like to suggest this and see if the community agrees. Thanks!

It sort of depends, if a lane needs to leech off one camp, I don't really give a fuck unless I'm trying to kill that camp.

If they start to legitimately ruin my gold income by taking the entire jungle while their lane is dying, they're not getting away with it.

It's a reportable offense, I'd say, because it's easy to ruin a game by refusing to let someone farm - especially if they're a carry and need the gold to participate in fights.

Sure, as long as it's reportable when people pick j4 and gank zero times, and as long as it's reportable when junglers steal my lane CS.

lol, like those ultra annoying times where you are a lane bully, jungler farms your lane then walks off instead of helping take turret after they took the kill too

fun fact, turret gold is team global, unlike kills (unless they're ahead)

objectives (drag and baron) are also global, so one dragon gives 150-300 gold to your team...lol, it's funny when a lot of junglers don't take one dragon the whole game or haven't done it by 20 minutes

I wish it were easier to jungle

By “steal” do you mean you don’t like paying the jungle tax?

As a laner my philosophy is that if the jungler can't be bothered to clear his own camps with anything resembling timeliness with regard to the respawn timers then it's just wasted gold and I'm doing my team a favor.

That being said sometimes the guy is counter jungling or camping a lane and then I don't think it matters either way.

Side note, it's funny how many dipshits in this thread think it's the junglers job to win their lane.

Kill stealing is hardly an offense unless your champion has a mechanic that requires you to last hit champions, but even then, the enemy champion is dead either way. You could report the Jax for assisting the enemy team. If someone on your team is taking a camp or two now and then (even if you don't want them to do so), I don't think that's truly worth reporting. If that Jax was deliberately taking your entire jungle repeatedly and/or leaving behind smaller jungle minions just to sabotage you, he was worth reporting.

As long as I can report a jungler for taking my CS.

I can understand stealing jungle camps as an offense, which is one reason I have started playing Nunu, but the KSing part I feel shouldn't since supports lives are gonna be hell with certain ADC players. I'll vote for jungle camp steals only, if it's an option.

The jungler is mainly there to snowball his lanes or at least keep them in par with the enemy.

Here's the question you need to ask yourself: Why is Jax stealing my jungle camps? Is he losing lane badly? Being denied farm possibly? Does he need them to not be totally shut down? And is keeping my laner up and going worth a few camps? Why do I need those camps anyway? Should I be ganking more? How are the lanes doing? If Jax is jungle farming, where's the enemy laner? Is he pushed? is it a good chance to gank? Should I gank? What bushes are warded? If they possibly are warded, being Rek'sai, should I tunnel through the tribush way to gank him from behind(if you're purple team)? And if I camp Jax and get him fed, would he still steal my jungle farm? And is it safe to steal the enemy jungler's farm during the time he is taking mine?

If a lane is doing so bad they have to take your jungle farm to get anywhere, they must be doing really bad. Either deal with them taking farm, camp them until they're ahead, or camp winning lanes to get them super fed and able to carry.

A jungler generally isn't the carry, and if they are, they shouldn't be needing those extra camps because they're too busy carrying lanes to victory.

I am choosing to respond to this particular comment, but this applies to everyone. I'm not saying that EVERY person that steals jungle camps is bad, but in the cases ( which there are) that the jungler needs those camps, should it be reportable? In this case, I had ganked Jax multiple, times given him kills, and not taken his cs. However, when he got fed, he irritated me purposefully by clearing my jungle.

So, the Jax was doing fine. Okay, that I can get. If a laner is doing fine and stealing your camps, then yeah, that's just stupid, it delays you as well as stops them from harassing their lane, getting their own farm, etc.

Though no, I don't think it should be reportable, but if you ask him to stop and he continues with no explanation or starts harassing you, you can report him for that.

If he wants to jungle theres no reason for you not to take minion waves and experience...

Dragon gives 25 gold to the person that last hit it, otherwise it no longer gives global gold. As for the rest of that, I agree, the jungler has a lot of responsibility, most notably controlling the flow of the game, what this mostly entails is securing objectives with a certain flow to it in such a way that it most benefits you and your team.

Somewhere in this mix the jungler needs gold and experience though.

Wouldn't this fall under "refusing to communicate with team?"

At that point where it's that excessive and you've asked him to stop, it's the same as going to another lane, pushing the thing out and stealing all of the cs, then going back to your lane.

Just take his lane and stay in it till he agrees to stop.

what about kindred Kindred ? her passive are all about stealing camps.

Yuiwara1 votes

Really why should there be a report option for that? No kill is reserved for a specific player, no creep is either and no jng camp is either. U dont have exclusive rights to that specific exp and gold. so if someone takes it, it should be ok.
