Tips to carry as Jg?

GlancingChaos·4/6/2019, 9:57:05 PM·1 votes·2,823 views

Im not a very good player B1 Jg I mostly take J4 into my ranked games and do pretty well with him and typically give my laners a kill or blow a flash, however this season ranked as jg has been constant stress and anger.

I get titled to all hell when bot lane feed 0-4 before I can even get lvl 6, which usually results in me flaming them. I try my god damn hardest to get top or mid feed when that happens but when I have to deal with a feed enemy bot lane It feels like all my hard work that I was doing for 15mins have been taken from me, from players that cant understand the phrase_"play safe."__

Its morally destroying and torture to play jg this season because how coin flipped my games typically are. So rather than blame my teammates which wont improve my chances of winning are than any tips you can give me to improve the possibility of winning when there is a feed enemy lane?

Typically I gank top or mid and get that lane ahead and go to jg to farm until around lvl 5 and head bot, however it always seem whatever I do one lane feeds. I need tips on how to recover games when lanes feed, should I gank them? Should I try to camp them? What should I do personally to improve jging as j4. [cass-cry]

For your skill level I would say that a good start is following the popular builds on opgg. And don't listen to your teammates. Just /mute all. The Law of Averages will give you good laners half the time and bad laners half the time. If you can identify which lanes are winning and focus on playing with that winning lane instead of wasting time on a losing lane, you should be able to carry a lot more games. It's tough when your top laner dies solo 5 times and doesn't understand that it has nothing to do with jungle. It is not your job to get every lane ahead. It's great if you do, but focus on getting one or two lanes ahead enough that you can carry.

So once a lane has a lead, what do you do?

Once a lane is ahead, they usually can get lane control (health lead and pushing) and rotate faster than the enemies. If you get bot or mid ahead, you can have them shove in their wave, and convert that lead into a Dragon. If you get top ahead, you can try to coordinate a TP play, take Rift Hearld, or get Turret Plates.

Always try to pay attention to which lanes are pushing. If a winning lane starts pushing, the enemy jungler might start looking to gank. Protect your winning lanes, and target vulnerable enemies. You only want to spend time ganking a losing lane if you know you can get the shut down AND objectives afterwards. Otherwise, a single shut down on a winning enemy won't be enough.

So yeah, play through winning lanes, convert those leads to objectives, mute negative teammates, follow builds from opgg.

Try to gank earlier, for starters. Don't simply rely on 6.

People are gonna come at me for invoking the name, but watch Nightblue3. He's a decent jungler...and a total weeb that shows you that you can troll and still win. :P

Kill them all and don't die yourself. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

After trying for 3 years, I finally got an account to Gold this season. I'll share with you what made the difference.

You MUST accept that there will be numerous games that will be unwinnable no matter what you do. They key thing you have to do is NEVER be the reason your team loses. So when you get that bot lane that goes 0-4, and everyone else is feeding, don't stress. Just surrender and move on. What is important is that in no game you go 0-4 yourself and be the reason that your team loses. Over several games, you actually be winning more than you're losing. What most of us don't realize is that a huge number of losses are actually the result of our own feeding. You easily remember those times when you get a bot lane that goes 0-15 but do we remember those times when we have a 7-1 bot lane and we went 0-9 in lane? No we don't and this is the main reason many of us get hard stuck. Practice not being the dude that feeds his ass off and when you get that 10-0 Kaisa, she will have little stopping her from carrying you to a win. This is the basic idea that finally got me out of Silver after 3 years.

So as a jungler, I'd advise you to play as optimal and sensible as you can and don't focus so much on your team. If they are feeding, shit happens. Nothing you can do. Don't change up your game plan, don't try to help your 0-10 top laner, don't cave to pressure, don't flame, don't tilt or any of that. Just continue play the way you know is correct or simply surrender the game and not waste the time if it really starts looking hopeless. If you do things right and you still lose, that's not on you. You did the best you could. What's important is that in games where your team is actually decent, you play just as decently as you did when your team was feeding their assess off. Consistency is how you climb.

Tips to carry as jungle. Hmmmm. Atm. You don’t. You pick someone who ganks at level 2 and play the guessing game as to which person on your team isn’t the chimp. Make your guess, attempt to get them fed and let them carry.

Here is the perfect example of what I was taking about here.

https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/3016409940/230178316?tab=overview

In that game I had a decent performance but still lost. I camped the shit out of bot lane, successfully ganking them 3 times which should have completely shut them down the enemy bot lane, yet my bot lane still lost very hard which eventually led to us losing the game. Now, I could be all pissy about it and I was but only because my team didn't want to surrender. But I'm not upset over my bot lane losing despite having a major advantage because I left that game secure in the knowledge that there is nothing more I could have done. And I also know that 90% bot lanes would hard win the lane under the same circumstances. What this means is that if I could repeat this performance over several games, I'd actually win the majority of times. This is just the one case where the skill difference between AD carries was just too vast. This will not always be so, hence there is really no reason for me to be upset or engage in any kind of self doubt. All I have to do is focus of being able to do that every game. I can't lose my shit just because it doesn't work a couple times. The important thing is that it will work the majority of the time which translates to winning more games than losing which in turn translates to climbing in ranked games.

Tips:

Path for maximum gank potential.

Try to make your main source of gold from kills / Assist.

Give your laners the kills unless you're playing a carry.

Don't ignore objectives ever.

You should have recalled before 5:00 and bought items. So you can prepare to fight for drake

Depends on who you're playing honestly. Different junglers have different strengths, and finding the ones that suit your playstyle is the most important thing. "Carrying" as a jungler is heavily reliant on game knowledge, arguably more than any other role.

I would recommend checking out some of Stonewall's videos, even the older ones, as he explains jungling in depth, including the different kinds of junglers, scaling, item builds, etc.
