So say you are jgling, and currently farming cause all your lanes are doing well and pushed. Then one of your teams lanes gets gabled. Supposing that your teammate does not get bursted down immediately, and you're nearby, do you stop farming (like, you are actually in combat with a jg monster) and rush to help your teammate? Basically, when do you stop in the middle of fighting jg monsters when a teammate needs immediate help, whether in lane or chased into jg
L Psy Kongroo3 votesDepends on if you can actually get there in time to help. This in turn depends on which champion you're playing; someone like Rammus would be able to speed over there ASAP, while an Olaf would take a while longer. If you're, for example, doing Gromp on blue side and your top laner gets ganked, I'd probably rush over there to help since you're already so close, especially if the blast cone plant is available. But if you're in the middle of doing Krugs while your mid lane is getting ganked, there's nothing you can really do.
Whenever I see one of my lanes get ganked while I'm too far away to help, I usually take the opportunity to either gank another lane or counter-jungle/take a free drag. Knowing where the enemy jungler is, it's a lot easier (and a more efficient use of time) to make plays where they aren't.
TeCoolMage1 votesYeah this guy gets it.
It's not a 'no never do it because your team is trash' or 'if you don't then you're a noob jungle' sort of scenario, it requires you to know the circumstances behind your champ and location
AsianPersuasion01 votesokay, thats what i wasn't sure of. I understood if i was pretty far then i shouldn't both helping the ganked lane, just wasn't sure if i should help when i'm close. I will help if i'm close, but do i help even when i'm farming was the main question. thanks, i'll do that
TeCoolMage1 votesEven if you're close, like wolves, or the raptor camp farther away from your mid (who's at the enemy tower then gets in trouble), if you're a 325 MS champ with no boots and mobility, it might not be worth, maybe they're LeBlanc and they immediately dash towards their tower and you're close enough and it becomes worth, etc.
Eventually you get a feel for it if you main jungle for a long time, especially if you main a small pool of Junglers with similar capabilities. Don't be afraid to guess and get it wrong because there's not really a guideline for anything in the jungle.
In general it's better to intervene when you think a fight is about to emerge, even if they're pushed down.
