What could I have done better?

Ao Dracona··1 votes·715 views

This is coming from a low elo jungler player feel free to leave any tips that would help improve thank u


So I had a game where my top lane was winning lane and my bot lane wasn’t doing fine, i was two lvls ahead of the enemy jungler and two lvls ahead of the people in bot lane, so I gank bot lane and get 2 successful ganks off of it

My top laner started getting greedy and tower diving and eventually feeding his laner losing his lead while also getting ganked over and over again, this happened once and I thought he just messed up, but then late game comes in and my bot lane is back in a healthy shape, here’s the thing I would’ve ganked top lane except the dude was always overextended and tower diving, I would’ve ganked an overextended lane while I was on top’s side of the jungle but he never communicated with me when his enemy laner was low and appropriate for tower dive the only thing he said was camp top but never played safe for me to camp him?

So what should I have done in the situation grow his lead or help the other lanes?

Track the enemy jungler so they can't gank as easily. Like, if you are worried your top laner is about to get ganked, go top side of the map. Put a ward in the top river brush or the tri-brush. Check the enemy jungle camps and get an idea of where the jungler MIGHT and MIGHT NOT be.

If you catch the enemy jungler doing a camp, you have 1v1 advantage assuming you invaded while healthy. If the camps are cleared, and you scouted the gank paths, then you know the enemy jungler is bot side somewhere. If the camps are not cleared, you can either steal the camps or ward them for intel. If you KNOW the enemy jungler will be top side beyond a shadow of doubt, you can use their own uncleared camps as bait for you to jump in and assassinate.

Some games you may even want to ignore top or bot side completely if you are smashing one side. Like if you were sticking to the top side of the map, get the enemy's red instead of going all of the way bot for it. You can control an entire half of the map until you get a tier 1 turret. Then consider moving on to help the opposite side of the map to help get that tier 1 turret.

One of the safest invades is checking the enemy's raptor camp. You have a good escape path and your mid laner can come to help. Just don't play like your mid laner is obligated to help you because they may not even be paying attention if you get 2v1'd.

There, I tried to give some general tips. It is about all I can do without watching any footage. Just remember that tracking the enemy jungler is THE most important thing you can do if you have no idea what to do. ;-)! If you just try to force ganks in every lane, you will inevitably fall behind an enemy jungler if they have just been farming all game. Then all of your effort has gone to waste.
