The #1 thing you as a laner can do to help your jungler help you

L Psy Kongroo··1 votes·340 views

When you see an enemy ward somewhere, or hell, even when you SUSPECT something might be warded, TELL YOUR JUNGLER SOMEHOW. Ping, it a few times, type "warded" in chat, walk over to the ward and dance on it, I don't give a fuck. Just let us know so we don't walk to your lane and stand there wasting time, only to find out that it's warded when the enemy jungler comes to counter-gank.

I know people have this adverse reaction to teamwork when a bunch of randoms queue up together, but for crying out loud you'd think people would develop some kind of cooperation when they share a common goal. You know, kinda like how we crawled out of the primordial mud and formed civilization?

At the risk of sounding super cliche here, there's no "I" in team. If you think you can 1v5 while the rest of your team jacks off in the base, by all means do so. I won't stop you. I'll just be off helping one of the other lanes who actually takes an interest in the well-being of their jungler.

There really needs to be a warded ping added to the game.

I've actually though about telling junglers on my team I can't and won't do shit for a good long while without using chat box and only using pings alone, but how would I counterbalance that with the fact that I'm ready to gank and achieve success, but only after I've gotten another wave into my turret so I'm level 3 with all my abilities and not while there are 9 full health minions and a cannon closing in on my turret, as if the jungler is expecting me to jump through all that and help the take-down while missing an ability because I'm still level 2?

Or with the fact that I am actually able to win and sustain my lane because I haven't been completely counterpicked by a pantheon for once, and a gank would probably be extremely successful? Without using chat box of course.

It's just too much to worry about it, especially since a better player compensates for other team mates. At this point you can only hope they don't rage quit before you actually get a chance to initiate an opportunistic action that leads to a chain of further victories and turns the game around.

We're talking about hoping a team doesn't surrender to an entire AD or AP enemy at this point. Too much to waste brain cells worrying about.

All that can easily be summarized into "lvl 3 first" pings minions. Anyone with more than half a brain would be able to take the hint, do a camp, then come back in 10 seconds.
