PSA from a jungle main: If you spam ping me when your lane isn't gankable

I'm going to ignore it even when it is gankable.

Keep in mind that your jungler isn't there to be your pocket player, and be there whenever you want. If your lane is pushed up to the enemy tower and you're 0/3. More than likely you're not going to receive a gank.

But just because im an 0/3 nautilus dosent mean my lane is any less gankable

In all honesty although most of this is correct and i can 100% agree to never spam them, the only thing that pisses me off is even when i set the wave, make then burn their flash(es), keep all my CC up, but still cant get a gank because im "0 and 3" which is one of the most BS rules i ever heard, especially for people with fk tons of CC

Sounds like a great way to lose games.

Still, your job as a jungler is to help your team. I've had junglers refuse to give my lane ganks for the most idiotic reasons- I leashed the jungler as a support while the ADC farmed, and said jungler then refused to gank because it apparently wasn't good enough of a leash. I've also had a jungler refuse to gank my top lane when I was playing Nasus because I 'didn't have enough stacks'. And of course, I was refused a gank as Veigar mid because 'I was already far ahead enough that I didn't need one'.

Don't be obnoxious about ganking, and hold that power over everyone else's heads. Just do it and help your team out.

For me its "When you gank my lane when I have no mana, a giant enemy wave at my tower and you expect me to initiate when im not the tank and u are."

"I don't want to gank"

"WTF WHY is X so fed?"

So in short: I'm a bad jungler but i want to make you responsible for that. There is two sorts of junglers:

  1. Trash
  2. junglers who gank. There is no inbetween. If you don't towerdive these days when your solo laner has priority (botlane is always tricky to dive) you are bad and should uninstall. Me being 0/3 has nothing to do with being unable to gank a pushed up lane. Most likely i'm 0/3 because the enemy has a jungler and i don't. Having a pushed up lane means i have lane control, if i have lane control even when being 0/3 you can assume i'm the straight up better player. Talking about toplane here specifically. No good ahead toplaner let's you just push up when you are behind, that's never going to happen. There are a few cases like renekton with good waveclear but they will just afk clear and walk back and not pressure the turret and even then if vastly behind like 0/3 he will get punished for trying to do that.

all too often the lane was gankable before the laner went 0-3, and he wanted your help, but you felt one way and he felt the opposite. now hes 0-3 and now youre quick to label him as the problem and the game is going to be lost because that laner was bad.

i agree, your efforts can be better spent somewhere else.

BUT... BUT

you ganking before 0-3 completely dictates the rest of the lane, instead he gets a kill and is 1-0 to start with a longsword advantage and stars winning earlier on.

this is all a direct result of you feeling you cant make it from blue side wolves to top lane in those 20s from when youre at half health, your laner is at 1/3rd health, and the enemy top laner is at 3/4ths health winning.

let me tell you from experience, 2v1's pre first back, everyone goes down quickly, i dont care who you are, if there are two of you showing up to lane even with low hp, it doesn't matter, any hard cc or person who can take 1 or 2 auto attacks or abilities is enough for a low hp laner to contribute back to the fight so it wont just be you 1v1ing that top laner from a disadvantage. instead its two of you providing burst because no one has resistances yet.

i can assure you, you've already lost the lane for him because you perceived him at a low hp total, and the enemy (whos more than halfway down the lane) is ungankable because you're not comfortable 1v1ing. well guess what, its never a 1v1, its a 2v1 when you show up.

a blitzcrank with 1/3rd health and is 3 levels down has no problem showing up to fakers lane and providing just a single hook to him which nets faker the kill, and its not because the laner is faker, its because the blitzcrank knows all the damage is there already, he just needs a setup to make it happen.

when a laner is 0-3 and levels down, you're right, the lane is no longer gankable because you cant 1v1 and your laner isn't providing squat. but understand, you helped create the 0-3 lead for the enemy team when it was completely reversible, i just hope you get something of equal value in return somewhere else, THAT is what makes good junglers. but i bet you sit in jungle and powerfarm and hope to show up at the right place right time.


the only thing that matters before level 6, is the two champions positions on the map and who throws the first punch, all too often junglers refuse to gank an enemy whos on your t1 turret because you're not 100% health, you dont have a lead or a certain item, enemy has summs, or even just a level powerspike.

in addition you repeatedly play ww regardless of the game or what it calls for, so yes YOU lack damage a lot of the time so if the laner doesn't have any, and you dont have any, its completely pointless to go there. which is the correct call, but understand there are other junglers who can turn that situation around.

but your duty as warwick is the early game, you literally win it, and here you are, allowing the 0-3 situation to happen in the first place when you should be 3-0 and putting some laner into the dirt because they cant use summs when feared and they aren't going to be outstatting you or winning without items against you. but here you are, in the jungle perma farming declaring lanes ungankable, you mean "not free for me"

Lawl i made a game for this situation

Each time they ping you add 0:30 secs to their next gank Also any whining adds a minute to that timer by end you will have atleast 10 mins or more so you just go botlane and get adc fed or your midlaner fed

[ What im trying to say here is... Toplaners are self entitled brats :^) ]
