Jungle is the hardest role to play

That's why you should be absolutely sure you know how the mechanics of jungle work before you jump into ranked. Also if you tilt easily this lane is not for you.

There is so much to know with this role. Counter jgling. What camps to clear. How to clear camps. What lanes to gank and what lanes not to gank. Anticipating where the enemy jungle is going to go. I've honestly seen so many games where my opponents team has a jungle that's clearing camps fast and ganking lanes every 30 seconds while our jg just gets stage fright and is unsure how to counter that jg. Sometimes you will run into a better jungler but there is always the opportunity to figure out the pattern of the jg and shut him down.

I mean autofill definitely doesn't help. Also when you gank you should let your laners get the kills. I've seen time and time again a jg that gets kill hungry and ends up not carrying the game even when they have all the kills. I don't see jg as a carry role unless you very very good at it. JG is mainly a 2nd supp for the team. Just in case the lane isn't going in your favor, you can have some help. Also warding is a big thing. Knowing if lanes are warding is one of the best things you can do. How are you to gank a nasus top if bushes are warded. Now I mean if he is really bad and isn't watching the map you may get lucky but as you move up you start to realize people are more aware of the map and wards. And now you've wasted time going top to deal with Nasus and your enemy jungle just ganked bot and got a double kill for the ADC.summoner 31

Most of the time if you're playing an early game champ, going into their jg is a must. You need to have figured out what buff they started first of all. If you can shut the enemy jg down early, chances are you can gank more often and not have to worry about getting counter jg yourself. More ganks = more kills = more gold = more kills = more turrets = nexus. Cause let's face it, this a 5v5 game and not 4v4. Next time a jg ganks your lane, give him a pat on the back. And if he makes a mistake, try to give him encouragement. The worst thing you can do is blame ur jg if your lane is not going your way. Cause then they might play worse. Or they may just farm until 20 LOL. Jungle is the hardest role to play and I think many would agree with me here. Also, vision wards SAVE LIVES!

Get out there and summoner 11 SOMETHING!

I strongly disagree here, jungle is a much more forgiving role.

In jungle, you have the chance for your lanes to just auto win without and input from you.

up until maybe gold, you can get away with just farming and not be punished regularly for it. ( anyone else remember the 100% winrate master yi? )

its a lot hard to be contested for you for because invading is risky unless you have a lead

you do not worry about last hitting so it mechanically all about the champion

IMO the only thing difficult about jungling is making the correct decisions, its very knowledge intensive around level 4-12. but thats about it.

The hardest role mechanically i would give to ADC, the hardest role knowlage wise support or jungle. ( its just that jungle is way more forgiving to fuck up. )

i strongly disagree. I think Jungle is the easiest and most forgiving role to play.

My personal opinion is that ADC is the hardest role to play.

Jungle is literally the easiest role in the game. All you have to do is the following:

  1. Watch minimap or map in general
  2. Path according to what is happening on the map
  3. Try not to die (prefer safe instead of insanely risky plays)

That is literally it. All of the other bullshit is optional and honestly does not matter in solo queue where everybody throws the game all the time. Just watch the minimap, and gank people who overextend or if you see enemy jungler on side-lane, take objectives on the opposite side (either ganking lane, counter-jungling or taking dragon/rift)

Too hard? Well then just take tanky champ with CC like Nunu and you literally cannot fail. Super easy role.
