QQ Thread. Got camped by enemy jungler and still slightly came out ahead in lane. My jungler continues farming hte jungler and goes mid trying to duel the mid laner and dies embarrassingly. Bot lane loses horrificly despite never being ganked by the enemy jungler. Nerf camping plz.

Camping is punished by not pushing the lane and dying like an idiot. The camping jungler either misses out on experience and gold by accomplishing nothing, or leaches experience, making your opponent's time harder. There, balanced.

Only to a point. A good camping jungler will hang around for a bit, go clear a camp really quickly, head back to wait for another opportunity, go clear another camp. If they do this too long, yeah they get punished by a lack of XP and gold since they aren't getting kills or assists. But that isn't generally a problem as if a jungler is camping a lane they're either getting those kills/assists or getting their laner ahead in CS to the point where they've successfully gotten a laner minion fed, which can positively affect the remainder of the match.

No, the real balance of camping lanes is that once a jungler has clearly pitched a tent, it's

A) easier to get vision of him since you can focus your defensive wards in the areas of jungle near where he's camping and

B) you can push other lanes with relative impunity

Those don't keep someone from camping. They just let you see the tent.

But if they can't kill you, they are wasting time and potential gold and XP.

Considering that the jungle is giving more XP now based on the average level of the player, junglers who fall behind can catch back up by powerfarming in the jungle. So whatever they lose they can get back relatively quickly, particularly the high sustain junglers who can afford to sit in a jungle for a longer time.

The real advantage to knowing your enemy is camping is abusing other lanes because of it. Hell, if I know a jungler is camping out one of my lanes I'll head over and give them some ward coverage before spamming ganks on the other two unhelped lanes. Because I know my bottom lane can be told to play safe enough to make him sitting in bush a waste of time while I get top and mid fed while largely undefended.

Are you sure you don't mean "buff my teammates"?

By camping you you helped not make your bot lane lose even harder. Seriously, that jungler could have ended the game earlier by forcing bot lane even harder.
