Dear player who thinks the jungler should gank your losing lane.

that's NOT how it works. junglers shouldn't gank a losing lane 99% of the times. see when a lane is losing and you gank it. you risk getting countered. which is going to result in both of you dying and putting you even farther behind. and or losing a 2v1. and thats not good for either of you. so no. ganking a losing lane is not the way to bring the lane back in to the game 99% of the times because the bad things out match the good things

Maybe you are saying 99% as hyperbole but you can gank a losing lane. If you know where the enemy jungler is and the enemy isnt really fed you shouldnt die. If someone is 3 kills down I would say that is the point it's too late too make any difference anyway and only consider ganking if you are somehow fed enough too kill the enemy for free. If you can tell a player is bad or his opponent is fed don't consider it yeah.

Most of the time when i am losing lane its because of the enemy jungler. If you are not gonna gnak my lane do something somewhere else other than afk farm the jungle. If i am ganking other lanes more than the jungler is then something is wrong.

OP right now:"Enemy Vayne got a kill? Well lets have her enjoying a free early game and scale better and faster into late game because I don't want to shut down a threat and have a chance at winning the game"

If you get counter ganked that means you fucked up the gank since you timed it wrong. If you lose a 2v1 that means you also fucked up either one of you is just bad or you ganked to late.

You should always help a losing lane that's the main point of jungle is map pressure. Like HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK this.

If you have a winning lane and a lose lane here is what you get for ganking the winning one: Pressure you ALREADY had A kill maybe A chance you will fuck it up and die making it a losing lane You put your laner more ahead or they stay the same A objective

And now the losing lane: Pressure you don't have already A kill maybe You make a losing lane a losing lane You put the laner ahead or in a better spot A objective

Now lets compare if you gank a winning one you put them in the same spot gaining nothing and if you gank a losing one you put them in a better spot gaining more pressure.

lol what? xD no, you gank winning lane to get objective/tower and shift pressure to other lane. If you succeed with gank on winning lane you have better chance to get tower (more pushing power and better chance to kill enemy jungler if he tries to contest) and let your ally rotate, helping losing lane indirectly this way. You gain more pressure doing that but if you think you can just gank, get a kill and go back to farming then you are doing jungle wrong.

Not as bad as trying too cleanup when you bot is dead or backed. Better go 1v3 low hp enemies.

If you're not ganking a losing lane then you're doing nothing fucking useful. The entire purpose of a jungler is to help salvage lanes that are starting to lose, especially if they're losing to a lane bully and are a late-game champion.

Anyone who thinks they shouldn't gank a losing lane but still complains about snowball is a fucking idiot because they are literally the reason for that snowball taking place.

Any lane that's losing, has to be defensive and farm as safely as they can and not, under any circumstances farm a wave past the river, especially if you don't know where the enemy champs are. I am a top lane main, and yes low elo (mostly because I don't play ranked much if at all) but from my experience if you are losing lane it is on you to do 2 things. 1: Not lose lane any harder than you currently are 2: Recognize where your team is currently winning.

If you have TP, and are losing, and your bot lane is winning; do your best to save tp to help bot lane, or use it to catch a minion wave about to crash under tower. If your opponent is a hard shoving bully, understand that you're going to feel very stomped on, and very alone in getting stomped for a while. Get the cs you can and do not engage your lane opponent. If they 2 man dive, you can try to outplay it, but if you see 3 coming (with or without herald) just fallback and let them take the tower. Don't die there and lose tower anyway and farm cs from T2 tower. That's just your life now. Allow your bot lane to continue to win hard, and snowball as your team pours resources into snowballing bot lane as the enemy dedicate their pressure to you. You're a sponge. Just soak the pressure. As long as you don't die repeatedly and are able to farm passively you'll be okay. If your minion wave is pushing out and your lane opponent isn't there, don't push with it. Roam and look to help mid lane or your team around an objective and use TP to help around an objective. You might be the little bit that's needed to turn a fight. It's not your job to push and take towers because your lane opponent can just show up and kill you because you lost lane already. It's your bot or mid lane's job to do that. Your job is to farm and join team fights. That's it.

Remember they can't snowball a top laner harder than most adc's snowball. Eventually your bot lane will take their lead and win the game with how powerful they are, if they don't, it's not your fault, you did what you could. It's just sometimes how it works. Just be patient and be a little bitch sometimes. Cuz if that prevents them from farming you for gold and taking you off the map, then that's what you got to do. Don't be a Hashinshin and die 15 times trying to be aggressive on a lane you've already lost.
