How hard is it to leash for your jungler?

It should be reportable, if you are going to flame me for being behind and far less impactful, hmm idk...give me a leash instead of ignoring my pings and sitting lane anxiously awaiting the 2 auto headstart.

just for some insight.

If the trist leashed, I didnt need to pot my first camp. If i didnt need to pot my first camp, i dont need to force in an aggressive river crab clear. I dont get killed for overextending out of my jungle on a champion i do not want to fight on before i have an item or two. i dont fall behind so heavily and get counterjungled all game.

I can do so much more and be worlds more effective in ganks/pressure if you take 5 seconds to auto that camp 3 times. thats all it takes from you. Guess what? then, when you get your butt handed to you in lane, i can come down and perhaps do something about it.

Why is the concept of the leash so hard for people to understand? Bronze/leveling yeah i get it.

Silver 2 -4 I don't. you should know how important it is.

i have actually been told "no go start top at red" while playing

i have been told "no go start bot" as

its beyond frustrating.

Stuff happens in games and sometimes you just have to deal with it.

Also, slightly unrelated but a useful side-note. Amumu is perfectly capable of beginning on red-side and doesn't run into any issues when clearing. Amumu isn't really mana-reliant for clearing with Hunter's Talisman and Hunter's Potion if you aren't spamming your Q on camps.

Attack Speed marks speed up your clear and make strengthen Krug buff while W provides great damage for low mana consumption.

You can easily clear Krugs, Red Buff, Raptors, Wolves and Blue Buff with W and Talisman without issue.

This is very important on many champions to both reset the wave, set up an early freeze in a favourable position, or to proxy farm between towers.

Im guessing you have never played amumu, because he relies heavily on his w for his clear, which is very mana intensive. (on top of e spam to keep damage reduction up)

I have played Amumu quite a bit in the past and I've picked him up again recently. His first clear isn't that bad and his W isn't that expensive for mana. Provided you don't use Q, you can easily do a full clear from red-side.

also "hunter potion" implies im backing before a full clear, with as amumu would be a huge disadvantage, since he can help get kills easily early.

The Hunter's Potion was mentioned for subsequent clears. While he doesn't necessarily need it, it greatly reduces his dependency on Blue Buff and keeps his health topped-off for subsequent clears.

"stuff happens in the game you have to deal with" ? Like what? you are sitting under your turret waiting for minions. an adc can leash and be on the way to lane before a single minion is auto'd more than once.

When I mentioned this, I provided several examples.

Level one fights can occur and run late. If both teams are still fighting or just finishing by the point monsters spawn, you aren't getting a leash since your laners will lose too much experience from the minions killing one another.

You can be invaded. The enemy jungler or support may steal and early camp and/or kill you early, so you will have to adjust your playstyle to deal with it.

I have played jungle for multiple seasons. It is by far my most experienced role and the one I enjoy playing the most.

When I decide to pick up a jungler, the very first thing I do is test their initial clear in a custom game without a leash. If I can't successfully clear at minimum three camps, then I adjust my runes and masteries until I can do so.

You can't always depend on having a leash. Circumstances beyond your control may mean you don't get one. While it can suck, it can and will happen.

If you don't know how to handle it, then that is a fault in your knowledge which you must fix.
