I'm curious to know what everyone thinks. It'll probably be different depending on rank but in all the games I've played (Bronze-Gold) almost every game feels like "better jg wins" but all the high elo junglers I've watched complain that it's the worst role and has no impact.
Jungle without a doubt. You have the ability to get every single lane ahead if you play well.
adcs, broken role
Hands down jungle, if your jungle is half decent he is at least showing his face in all lanes so they know he exists. The difference between a jungle who does that and afk farms the jungle is the difference between a win and loss in a lot of cases.
Mid > JG > ADC > Top > Sup
Thinkin about ur question actually got me thinking how balanced the roles kinda are atm. Most will say jg, because jg kind of dictates the pace of game from early to mid, but very few of the hyper carry jgs r still viable. And how much ur able to do in the early is strongly dictated by the pressure ur mid laner has. I kinda think adc is the strongest carry. Ur jungle should rly be playing around bot in this meta, even regardless of how strong u think adcs are, just because theres more people that side of map, so more snowball potential. And if u can make sure to win early teamfights as adc, the enemy adc is never going to get that opportunity to scale like in previous metas. So theyll be useless the rest of game.
jungle because you have the most influence in the game. A fed lane can roam and help other lanes, but they need to be fed usually in order to do that.
Early game :
Jungle then Mid ( if the Mid laner is assassin or Roamer )
Mid game :
ADC + Support ( Bot lane ) then Jungle then Top
Late game : ADC + Support ( Bot lane ) then Jungle then Mid ( if the Mid laner is a mage )
Notes :
Adc + support are one , they must be together , unless the ADC is Lucian or Jhin ( but Jhin is garbage atm ) but this role is the Strongest role when they reach their power spike ( when the Support is a tank or an Enchanter , if it's a Brand or Zyra then sadly the ADC can't be at it's stongest )
Jungle is the best role in early game , kind of Laners reliant in early game especially mid lane when it comes to scuttle fights And the role is always important in all stages of the game simply for having Smite
Mid lane is good for roaming and scuttle fights if the Mid laner is an assassin or a roamer Mages can't do they so they need to scale usually , and winning the lane doesn't really matter most of times
Top lane is kind of a split pushing Lane and usually winning or losing it doesn't matter at all and it depends on the champion if you are a Tank , then you are a secondary support if you are a fighter , you can split push and usually can 1v2 most of times depending on the champions
Jungle based on the fact that their influence alone can potentially win/lose the game from 2 min into the game.
I play a pretty good Kalista. Otherwise I would say Support.
I've won matches where my jungle gave away 8 kills but when I see my adc die 5 times under 14 minutes in lane, I know the game is done.
And that's coming from a top laner.
Bot lane, especially a feed adc will rip through teamfights better than most junglers will be able to.
support because they have the most leeway atm as they literally in solo que anyways have the most diverse and most forgiving lane. you have free gold free sustain free damage. if you are ahead you also get kill/assit gold you can build full damage and 1v1 mids or adcs with no issue. You also lane with someone meaning duos op
It depends on the champions played in each role. For example, if a bruiser carry like Jax is in a game, top becomes infinitely more important than if he were a Sion or a Maokai. Generally, however, barring the hyper carries, I have to say Mid > Jungle > Top > Support > ADC.
I rank mid higher than jungle because the better mid decides which jungler gets fed if they both play with equal skill. And if either mid or jungle gets fed, they can spread their lead to the other lanes too. Then I say top because of AD bruisers and the fact that usually, top will include good engage or a strong split push, and both of these can turn leads harder than just moar damage would. I rank support higher than ADC because the better support (unless you're a Draven or something else that can just take over a lane) will determine how lane goes, not the ADC, and ADC is a very, very snowbally role beyond that.
i feel like not having a jg (as in having a bad one or a clear jg gap) means you're going to lose very quickly unless you can legit 1v5. aside from that, support feels like it has a lot of agency right now and can decide a lot of fights.
Support > mid > jg > adc > top
TLDR; jungle is the most impactful role in the game. It is also the worst role based on your decisions you make in lane
I would say jungle, it is hands down in my opinion the most complicated and diverse role in the game in which in the current meta junglers impact can win games although..... it is also the worst role. It goes both ways in some sense
Better Jgl wins
This text is nonsense in any elo, when players expresss their feelings using this kind of language immediately they become shit at the game, they only believe that they are the better jungle in which they are just horrible, this can be in situations where they lose hard or even carry. You are not a good player if you say that shit
Ok moving on
So why Is jungle such a bad role?
As a jungle main i’ve Seen almost everything in league and it amazes me how many laners don’t know how to play the game, rule of thumb if you are losing lane, do a favor and play safe and play around the jungler, ward for them, help them in regards to jungle invades and other.
If you lose lane as top, mid or bot you a legitimately making the game harder for your jungler and that’s the reality, what you do in lane transfers into the jungle. This happens in almost 95% of my games and yes the jungler should be ganging lanes but they can’t gank lanes that are fed out of their ass.
What happens if you lose lane, how does that impact the jungle directly?
What do players do in response to losing lane?
Overall you may say jungle is the most impactful role whichever it is although there is so much downside to that’s role then any other role what you do in lane can’t impact the outcome of any game, this is why I duo with someone I know, it makes it easier on me if I get invaded or bot lane gets fed to my team running it down, I can rely on someone with the knowledge to turn games around.
If you noticed, this post was more focused around low elo, in higher elk games, players have the experience and knowledge to do what’s right. I’m currently Gold IV on my main account and it’s impossible to climb unlike my out which is plat 2 and slowly climbing.
Hopefully this gained you some insight on how bad jungle can’t be.
