Pseudo-jungling in Doom Bots
It's not actually bad if you know how to do it. Laner pushes as fast as he can, "jungler" gets buff solo. Gets back into lane level 2/level 2 vs level 1/level 1. Kill them both (because they only win from statchecking, and level 2 vs level 1 you win the statcheck), and at this point you'll probably have a level 3/level 2 vs 2 level 1 bots. Back and buy and tp back to lane, and just keep killing them until their bs stats finally outscale the level lead.
The levelled laner can usually hold on his own for a minute for you to do a quick dragon/buff, before you go back and kill them again. Tried on Yi/Trynd/Kog/Vayne/Udyr, last 2 didn't quite work because the level 2 gank failed.
A few things to keep in mind before you go make your teammates rage:
-
You're not actually jungling 100%. Just buffs and dragon, and you will need teleport on top of that smite.
-
Check enemy laner comp. Most of them are weak at level 1 (they either need a combo, or they get their cc at level 2). But Ez and Yas are hella strong at level 1 so you can be out 2v2'd by them despite being ahead in levels.
-
maybe your lane partner might need a suitable champ too. So far a Jinx, MF, Jarvan and GP have been able to handle the brief periods of 1v2, or it might not matter.
Just something fun to try if you're sick of playing normally, also allows you to play some normally lousy melees because you can snowball off the level lead.
