Carrying AFK jungle players.

We all know about those Jungle players. They think the jungle is basically a World of Warcraft raid. They don't leave the jungle until level 10 or so. The thing is I didn't realize this stuff existed in plat games. Apparently it does.

How are you supposed to carry an afk teammate? Does better jungler just always win? I just had a kid farm in the jungle until level 7 as nocturne. Meanwhile the enemy jax, one of the worst junglers btw, ganked 7 times and took a dragon. The jax also had about the same amount of farm as the nocturne. My mind is just blown.

I mean not as blown as it was the game before when my Swain adc had less damage dealt than the enemy Soraka despite being plat 2. But you know, that's pretty astounding in itself.

How are there people in high plat who do not know how to play their roles or champions whatsoever? Is everyone in plat boosted?

This is the problem with jungle/scuttle changes it leaves junglers 2-4 levels behind solo laners for 4-6 mins.

In all honesty I do farm heavily. I main Shyvana which kind of requires it. I know I make mistakes power farming too much and trying to make things happen. However, I'd like to just try to give you some insight on how it works since I've seen it successful and fail.

Sucess. Generally if you [laners] allow a powerfamer to farm and play safe it will generally account for a very powerful mid game for the team. For instance I played a game vs a noc another power to 6 champion. He tried ganking 5 times before 6 my laners played safe and died one time. I became 9 with dragon stealing his Jung and scuttles. Mid game resulted in rift herald and me alone destroying ALL of bot soloing the top laner two times.

This ofcourse Is a perfect game and does not allways happen.

Failures. Generally as I said earlier a power farming jungle usually makes 2 mistakes. Trying too hard to gank or not pressuring clear opportunities. While over all that is ambiguous it's still important to note. However, laners that do not play safe are usually the reason powerfarmong fails. As your title suggest you are too focused on Carrying this jungler instead of safely waiting for that 10 min mark. (Believe it or not it's not always the jungles fault.) For instance I just finished my demotion Q.Q during 3 of 4 games that I lost my enemies said, "you did great Shyvana" in some fashion. I ganked farmed got dragons etc, but unsafelaners gave huge leads before I could come online. Did i play perfect? No way. But in these cases the failure comes on the lane. However, I've played game where a lane is getting crushed and I path away from that lane and dont change it. That's me failing.

Just wanted to give you some insight from someone that does well with this strategy. Least i hope, now I'm back to d5 from D3 lol so I'm In boosted turf. :(
