Jungler's please stop ganking!

Hallbuster·May 4, 2017·2 votes·402 views

It is incredibly frustrating to assist the jungler in winning the 2 vs 1 when:

a. I'm playing a weak early game champion like my current OTP: Vladimir b. I'm in no condition to fight with less than 25% hp

Unfortunately, I'm meeting both requirements and really starting to get agitated with comments like, "Why didn't you help me?" And would reply with, "I have all my abilities on 10 and 20-second cooldowns!"

We need a way to block lane intersections or something or build a wall around it.

c. You have 0 mana. d. It's early game and the enemy is sitting in a huge minion wave.

Dear top laners,

I need to gank early or else I won't be able to do much in this game. I'm an early game jungler and I can handle this gank even in the 1v1, the reward is worth this risk if you truely believe that this may possibly go wrong. Its my duty to make the best of our early game, cause if I don't, then I'm relying on you to carry my dead weight for when I fall off or feed because I was power spiked by their graves who has significantly better scalings and wave clear mid game. Even if you do die, you'll still scale and become strong anyway, but I'll also be stronger right now. Also I have chinese coming so lets end this quickly.

Just because you're an early game jgler doesn't mean that you have to force ganks that are unfavorable. Doesn't mean you shouldn't gank, but gank when you think that it is going to be a good gank, not a gank that will likely end up badly for you and the laner.

Of course, but usually an early game jungler can easily get a good gank off early. A lot of the time the early game jungler can win the 1v1 duel regardless of your top laner due to stronger damage, potential level advantage if its 3 minutes, or even health advantage (no way you're a 25% HP vlad at 3 minutes without trading some damage back).

However, what really matters is whether or not you know when to back off. Like if you get their flash, just accept that and walk away before the other jungler arrives, sometimes early game junglers act like they own the lane and go ham when that's the setup the enemy jungler wants.

Its less about "will this end badly for me and my laner" and more about "how much pressure can I make by just being here, and what am I commited to getting exactly? (flash, kill, harass)"
