not ganking a lane because "scared of double kill"

Lushsmoke··1 votes·1,388 views

This has been so many cases in my game where I'm stuck in a losing matchup and my jungler doesn't wanna gank because of they are scared of a double kill. I understand if the guy is 2 or 3 levels above the laner, and is one shotting the dude, but when they are only one level behind, and actually able to damage the champ, gank their lane. It's that simple. It's like if 95% of the people I queue with just have no idea how to jungle.

actually hes 100% correct in not ganking for you, its inefficient to gank any losing lane, unless all of them are. its better to snowball ones that are already winning harder.

plus, all it takes is one counter gank and he gets buff + sets both you and your jungler behind, their jungler can counterjungle you, or at worst, they can immediately take an important objective afterward, or immediately rotate to another lane entirely. or if its like a darius he will strait up 1v2 both of you

tbh it makes it sound as if you dont jungle, because you should have known this.

I was losing lane, but it wasn't a terrible lose. I could 1v1 him and get him low all by myself. Yes you are supposed to snowball but you aren't supposed to completely ignore an entire lane because of it. When you are rotating to the lane, and the guy is all pushed up on me, then it's pretty obvious that a gank should be happening. In this specific game it was a mundo, a single target champ with no escape, yet he completely refused to gank him. Again, you're supposed to make lanes snowball, but you aren't supposed to ignore lanes especially when you've rotated to them and you have a great opportunity to gank them.

Every time the jungler does what you say and "makes a lane snowball", the same laner they didn't gank ends up coming into other lanes 3 levels ahead of everyone and fucks them all over and we lose.

ok so you were fighting a mundo for starters, think of it from his point of view. mundo is naturally tanky enough to not even have to worry about a gank, so while your right the kill pressure 100% was not there, it could be simply because it would be a waste of time. its like ganking a poppy or a leblanc, the only way they die in a gank is if they seriously fuck up.

what champ were you playing, as well as your jungler?

I was rengar he was master yi. The situation is that I was pressuring the mundo abusing his early game, but eventually he scaled, so I asked for ganks. The master yi in the very beginning in the game said he wasn't gonna gank but you need to gank mundo. It eventually reached that point where if I even dare step out of tower I would be forced into a fight with mundo with no escape and I'd lose the trade, Mundo was constantly pushed up so it was an easy gank even with flash, but master yi refused. In the end Mundo ended up getting a huge CS lead and level lead to the point where even if master yi ganked it wouldn't have done anything, he goes into all the other lanes, kills them, they get a lead, we lose.

Classic. Blame the jungler when you are playing an unconventional top laner Rengar against a tank DrMundo.

I mean, before you even complain, justify yourself by respecting the top lane instead of playing a champion who can only CHEESE on squishies by jumping from bushes in and out.
