Patch 5.13: Break the Meta. Duo Jungle

Thatonetallguy69·7/17/2015, 4:58:57 PM·8 votes·1,699 views

Solo top and mid (Like usual) with a or (or any champion that can solo a 2v1 lane) for bot, and a jungle with another jungle who uses enchantment. They start on separate sides of the jungle (Vayne probably red side) and after clearing half and half of the jungle (Starting camp, buff, river crab, inside camp) they duo gank mid, and run around counter jungling, ganking, and clearing most of the game. After finishing their jungle item with the enchantment, they run around together stacking it as fast as possible. At , they start to do crazy damage and can do as they please.

With a duo jungle, this also gives the possibility of really early dragons, and jungle control on both sides. Gives lanes crazy snowballs, and allows there to still be a marksman in the game (Vayne).

If you take on top lane (on like a or or something) and on a mid lane , you can have 90% secure dragons/barons (90% because if you're not there if they take it).

Just a concept idea to run multiple items in 1 game on the same team, and give another lane solo experience. Please don't roast me too hard on this! <3

This could work. I dunno how optimal it is, but it could definitely at least work.

I thought of this and went Bard with smite XD ---> a)I wanted to play bard, b) i wanted to have sated on bard

Anyways, a good jungle/support champ that could roam mainly bot and steal enemy camps seems a good idea. But an independant adc might be needed

Bot lane has two players because of the fragile state of ADCs in early game. Throwing two people to the jungle will reduce the already poor gold income, will hit hard on your ADC if bot lane is a hard engage comp/poke, and will give easy kills when you invade the jungle. Can work sure, but any comp can work if the other team is really really bad.

My concern is that if they're taking the same camps at the same time, that's less gold per minute, and if they aren't, that's fewer devourer stacks. I'd love to see one of them be a champ like Nunu or Shaco and take Poacher's Smite for maximum counterjungling.

Probably works best with: -A melee jungler starting Gromp -> Blue -> Wolves -A ranged jungler starting Krugs -> Red -> Raptors

Then they can run into the enemy jungle opposite side of where the enemy jungler started and take all of his camps before rotating over for a 3v1 tower dive on one of the solo lanes. With double smite and it being a 2v1 the enemy jungler will essentially be zoned out and is forced to try and gank/tax to keep up. Probably works best against junglers that need to farm up before they are strong (e.g Master Yi). Strong ganking junglers will just go to your bot lane and initiate a 3v1 tower dive.

The other option is to use Nunu as one of your junglers and simply have him counter jungle the whole game while your second jungler does the normal jungle.

The biggest weakness of this strat will be that your ADC will be on his own and very susceptible to 3v1 tower dives. However, the strength is that middle and top for the enemy team will also be susceptible to 3v1 tower dives. Depending on how your comp is structured it might work?

The main (and probably the only) reason duo jungle works is because almost no one ever sees a competent, organized team running it. People are taught so rigidly how to play within the confines of the meta that when a team comes in with their own, they don't react properly because they don't know how.

I was thinking about this just yesterday. If you just go ADC bot or something, and take two junglers, they can both stack their Devourer and have mega ganks all around that nobody can see coming(except with wards, obviously).

By late game, say you have a MasterYi and Jax , and its basically GG unless the enemy team did the same.

You're fucking silver, why are you trying to reinvent the meta when you can't even fucking play this meta???
