Please stop hitting the dragon and pull it out of the pit if you wanna force a 50/50

And I say this as the jungler. Its tilting watching these guys just pour into it and you are pinging pull it out and its completely in flash smite range. And then you get flamed hardcore for missing the 50/50 that was made about as good as it possibly could for the enemy team with vision on it. Even if you try and pull off, those guys are determined to burn that sucker down. Even if you ping them to pull it back, they are determined to burn it down.

And then lo and behold while its getting melted at breakneck speeds, the enemy jungler flashes over and wins the 50/50 that should have been way harder to get to if you just pulled it out of the pit. And then what happens? You get flamed like no other for being terrible at smites when you pinged them about 500 times to pull it back stop hitting it.

Im not even annoyed that the dragon got stole. Its when you start getting spam pinged afterwards and flamed to high heavens and your like man, you know to pull the dragon out. You guys did me no favors.

In my experience it's usually the jungler who doesn't pull it. He starts it when we have priority but the enemies are still in lane so we (ADC and I) rotate to keep our opponents from pincering him with his. Then a ward appears. I back way off. Start pinging the drake and then outside the pit. ADC takes a while, but he eventually gets it, moves back right as drake's HP is getting low. Jungler never moves.

Ah, solo queue.

So much this.

Also if i ping i have smite in 10 seconds, why do people just try and burst the dragon? And then they have the audacity to ping your smite.

Christ i hate this dragon bullshit.

I don't main jungle but I find it rediclious when folks Rage at a jungler who is Down 3-4levels and/or pinged Smite CD.

It's even more hilarious when people push in their lane while the jg is about to be there. Only for the enemy to be pushed under their tower and the jungler can't do anything because the time/distance would result in a suicide attempt. Then the laner complains no gank happened.

People are idiots.

The title confuses me

Amen.

Happens at least once a night for me.

I see enemy wards popping over the wall, I'm standing in the river spamming the Red ! on top of dragon, and spamming Help Flag on top of myself in the river...yet the adc is solo tanking the dragon in the pit.

So true. And when they pull it they pull it's just for 2 meters in the entrance. Most people don't know you can pull Drake completely out and to the right (in that brush from Ocean Drake map).

its more like a 100-0 because u never miss smite, because better jungler wins :)

if nunu

Yep, yet another reason why playing jungle makes me hate life and the people who REFUSE to acknowledge the most basic rational pieces of logic in the game. Sneaking a dragon or herald but your laner who decided to engage and is losing starts making a beeline for you? Better not be low health yourself or the objective because chances are almost CERTAIN that isn't going to end well.

Want to make sure something isn't warded but then your "teammates" pop vision plants in the complete opposite direction INTO YOUR OWN TERRITORY. Great, not only is it wasted, they know where we are on top of that so they can set up even MORE vision we don't have access to breaking.

Then there's the usual total lack of help with scuttle and I'm amazed at how many lanes have less than 5 wards across a 40-minute game (had an adc with 1 and mid with 0 wards placed in the same game, they obviously fed out their asses).

And you're supposed to work at a level and gold deficit with more responsibilities than most other people? GO. TO. HELL.

nope i rather play alistar, use my w and q on the dragon instead of knocking the enemy jungler away, i wont stop hitting the dragon and then i will blame the jungler for losing the smite fight when the enemy jungler is just barely 1 lv above you.

i love these type of players. so much fun to play with them.

Always tell your team in chat that you want to solo dragon and if they come you will leave the area.

I tell them every game and I do it. Most good jg champs can solo it easily at all points in the game and your team is much better-off zoning them away.

NEVER do dragon if it's going to be a 50/50 fiesta teamfight at the pit. That potentially puts the outcome of the game in the hands of your solo-que teammates who are almost definitely scum-of-the-earth.

It is funny when your low elo team tries to do this when you are on blue side

Get better at smiting cause it your job??? Calculate your ability damage plus the smite??????? Why do you expect 4 randoms to do what you say????? You cant use this excuse at baron can you????

I for one, take the time to stop everything when my team is doing something stupid, hit caps and quickly make my plan clear as day. Even if my dip shit of a team decides to ignore my pings usually they will read what I typed and pull the dragon out. HOWEVER considering the see-saw state of the game at the moment I usually don't have to worry about this since I usually obliterate (or get obliterated) from even being able to contest an objective

Best part is the most of the times in plat+ games are the ones who refuse to pull it out.

At least you have teams that go for dragon :(

I completely agree... I try pinging again and again to pull drag out, but nobody ever listens. Sometimes it's stolen, and sometimes it's not(but either way if its a possible contested drag, you should know to pull it out...

It' sadly what you signed up for by playing jungle. Only junglers and supps get flamed because your teammates lost their lanes. Everyone then there is the top laner or adc who feeds but if you a jungler invade enemies jungle kill the Elise and then double collapsed on evening though you pinged for assistance can be flamed on
