Nah, I don't hate krugs. I hate the crimson raptors. They will mess you up early in if your champion has no sustain or high defenses.

Usually, I just rush a ward on that camp as quickly as possible. And when i see the jungler going for them, I go kill him when he is low. Because they just do that much damage.

After the first B maybe.. 2nd, you can kill them easily :P just focus the small ones first unless u are smiting it.

Oh, I don't have a problem clearing them XD after the first clear.

Sejuani breaks literally everything you say here. She has no problems with them on first clear but struggles on subsequent clears pre Cinder and she does focus the large Raptor even in her first clear without smite.

Both of these stem from the way her E/Passive damage work. E on clear one deals enough damage that her proc puts the large Raptor to one AA. It does not do the on subsequent clears. It actually takes her longer to kill a small Raptor on the first clear than it does to kill the large one.

Basically what I'm saying is that this rule doesn't apply to every jungler. In the case of extreme single target burst damage like Sejuani, Nunu or Elise it's better to focus the large Raptor since you can kill any Raptor as quick as the others, so you may as well kill the large one since it does more damage.

MasterYi Play this man. If enemy jungler is weak early,( and I mean trash level 2 in jungle, like Ekko) go steal his blue. Taken? Disconnect. Or play someone like Sejuani and just walk over to Rift scuttler on other side of the map because it just takes that long to clear with kiting and using W.

Oh man... speaking of the rift scuttler... doing that crap with Kindred is fricken grating. Most players will let Kindred have it. But I had an enemy jungler just sit there at his jungles entrance watching me just chip away at that stupid thing.

[ALL] Enemy Jungler: Er... need some help kindred? [ALL] Me: YOU WAIT RIGHT THERE! I'LL GET TO YOU SOON! DX [ALL] Enemy Jungler: D: he runs away [ALL] Me: WAIT NO COME BACK! DANG IT DIE FASTER YOU STUPID BUG!

It gives nothing for XP, but it gives a decent amount of gold at least....

Raptors are entirely "Got good AoE and Talisman? Enjoy the virtually free camp. Don't/use Hunters? Lol. Yea. Sure. Die the first death in the game."

You know its kind of the opposite problem. Krugs are baby easy but they take forever to kill due to hp and respawning. Raptors are fast to clear and after lv4 are usually doable by even the weaker junglers but they still have such insane dps that if you aren't a tank or well sustained fighter you can lose 1/3 or more of your hp.

Before rengar got hit with nerfs you could actually GAIN hp from doing raptors by using how heal and fero heal worked out.

I think the two of you just perfectly summed up the design goals of Krugs, as stated in Preseason 2017. So uh, working as intended?

What I hate about doing krugs is that once you kill the first 2 krugs, but leave them when you have to help your laners right away, you lose the rest of the camp, time and XP.

Malicious Metal6 votes

For me it's even worse. Playing Skarner my Spires don't even reach up to Krugs so I'm usually just ignoring them.

I only enjoy them when im playing morde jng.

Out of my jungle roster Galio So much AOE I can clear it quick. Better to fight than red buff. Yorick Easy ghouls. All his clears are slow, so I like this one much more than Raptors. Warwick Okay. I HATE doing this camp with him.

weird, one of my favourite camps on WW

Slythion4 votes

howww, it's so frustrating. You only ever get to see your passive come to effect for the first big one, then all the rest have just enough health to make that attack speed absolutely meaningless

Karfuss5 votes

Raptors have to be the worst.

Any non-Tank jungler with no AoE is losing 30-40% of their health.

Jet Sett4 votes

I hate Raptors the most. Most champs I play can't clear them safely and be able to gank without a perfect set up, some can't even clear anymore camps after them if you do them early on someone who doesn't have AOE out the ass. i enjoy doing them with Gragas though, show those feathered fucks who's boss.

Mighty Mortein4 votes

While I don't main jungle, I do play it from time to time. And sometimes, I just completely forget they're there. And once I realise I've forgotten, I just go and clear them.

Yea if you kite krugs properly they aren't worth much. The raptors however can chase you down and beat ya ass.

Dude I had a perfect moment when I just killed volibear because he was surrounded by raptors and he couldn't move. I just layed into him while he frantically tried to kill them and get out. Mean while the raptors are doing some insane damage to him.

It's even worse when you use anyone with slow or root to kill someone who's doing raptors.

because if they are low and try to run away. Slow, root and the raptors will finish the job.

hotarse3 votes

I almost always opt to skip them altogether. Or if I do get them, only the first two and leave the camp. IMO, Krugs was among some of the horrible design decisions this season for the jungle together with plants, less XP and gold, and longer spawn times. It's not just me either. I'm seeing a lot of gold junglers from last season stuck in silver, or god forbid, lower. Even in the LCS some really great junglers are having a difficult time "adapting" to the new jungle. I put "adapting" in quotes because right now it takes a very different "skill set" to be a good jungler. I put "skill set" in quotes because I actually mean luck. The jungle is now officially the goaltender position of the LCS.

It WAS good until they made it so you couldn't hit instant 3 with it to justify taking the time to clear it.

The ability to hit lvl 3 before top lane hit lvl 2 with red buff was fucking bullshit and deserved to get removed.

Kyunsei3 votes

You lose quite some time doing krugs, I admit. Basically make them split faster would greatly improve that feeling.

SlampieceHawke3 votes

I hate when you're halfway done doing it and the enemy jungler ganks the closest lane to it.

Like, ok i might be able to get a successful countergank, BUT if it's not successful and i come back to the camp, half the little krugs just disappear into the void?

toorazamaki1 votes

I love krugs, raptors i hate. The damages is insane

Edit: you can kite krugs, you cant kite raptors as easily with them being ranged

Dreadlocks1 votes

The thing though is, raptors die so fast once you base.. and they only get easier and faster.. Krugs no matter how fed/damage you do, they still take long to do because of how they break into littler krugs.

toorazamaki1 votes

I get what you mean. In terms of time it takes longer because not all monsters are out at once. Similar to how scuttle is not really worth it sometimes because it takes so long to kill. But at that point where you say you can kill all raptors so fast and not krugs...Why are you still doing raptors?! Shouldn't you be taking dragon, baron, split pushing, or grouping with team for teamfights and objectives?!

Dreadlocks1 votes

What do those objectives have to do with Raptors.. lol You can take raptors in 1 second and still do all the above without it interfering.

toorazamaki1 votes

How does objectives not have to do with raptors? The whole point is you shouldn't be wasting time doing krugs when you should be helping the team! I know it's a bit off topic but dude why are you wasting time on stupid krugs at the point in the game where you can take raptors in 1 second? It's a team game and at the end of the game, the one who took down the enemy nexus first wins, not who can clear krugs the fastest. If you hate krugs so much, play that fucking tree guy who 1 shots them lol. Tell riot to nerf heimerdinger from spamming turrets because it only costs 20 mana, basically almost free while you are at it.

Dreadlocks1 votes

No offense but you sound very low elo if you think there is a point in the game where you should just stop farming lol.

Terozu2 votes

There is, it's called when you reach full build. After that you focus on wave clear. Even bronze players know that, why don't you?

toorazamaki1 votes

IKR? I'm low elo??....lmfao. What point in the game should you stop farming? Apparently this guy never got to full build lol. I don't think he realizes that you can farm 1000 minions but if you lose nexus, you lose the game. People are hilarious. This is exactly why I hate most junglers. They think the game is all about farming, aka farm simulator. Oh my top lane getting sieged, oh well i got krugs to do. Mid inhib is down and they attacking our nexus towers? Nah I got raptors, only will take 1 second. There's never a point in the game you should just stop farming. What a joke this guy is. I'm glad darkcastkiller proved that not everyone is like rengar revert. LMAO

Dreadlocks1 votes

You really lack a point against my OP so i don't see why you are being salty lol. To sit here and pretend like you're some GOD at the game because you stop farming jungle mobs lol.

toorazamaki1 votes

The only one salty is you because you can't grasp what I am saying. You can talk all you want after this post go ahead because I'm not gonna reply or care. Here is a free tip because although I'm not a god, I'm a lot better than you for simply understanding this concept that I will teach you.

League of legends summoner's rift game mode is not farm simulator. The primary goal is to take enemy nexus. You can farm your jungle all game but in a 1v1 if you are stupidly wasting time in the jungle while I stay mid pushing to your inhib and nexus and you still stupidly ignore me and farm your jungle, you will lose. In a realistic point of view, you are farming your jungle while team needs you so you force a 4v5 until your team is under attacked and you come up to clean up then go back to farming your jungle unless you feel like ending the game. League of legends is not a farm simulator game unless they made a gamemode where the goal was to farm a certain amount of minions to be victorious. Understand this simple concept, farm does not win games. Taking down nexus does. I don't care if you think I am saying I am a god or you think I'm low elo because if you don't understand this simple concept, that is your own problem not mine. Good day and have fun typing to yourself after this post.

Dreadlocks2 votes

I made a post saying that i hate doing Krug camp and you reply saying just never do them.. Lol w.e man beat it.

Dreadlocks1 votes

Then your team should farm them?

Doozku1 votes

As a Jungler, you can clear Raptorss so fast late game that the time you lose is meaningless. Krugs still takes like 5 seconds at all points of the game.
