Preseason Jungle

BabyDucck··9 votes·7,606 views

Honestly when I saw they got rid of catch up experience I realized how shitty my games would be when the enemy locked in an early game jungler. Now all you really need to do in jungle to climb throughout gold and platinum is level one invade, steal enemy buff, and then just keep chasing the enemy jungler down in their jungle. I've seen this happen so many times already and once the enemy jungler is ahead it is way too easy to snowball the leads without the other team being able to catch up in experience. I do like these changes but it makes it where jungling relies more on laners rotating early now that invading is such a high priority. Am I wrong? Please tell me if there is something I'm missing but just some games seem unwinnable when the enemy smurf Evelynn gets ahead, takes all objectives, and one shots everyone.(and its not just Evelynn who can do that)

You need to scout the enemy jg ward accordingly and then just vertical jg if they steal a buff. I highly doubt you are vsing that many smurfs either in that elo to impact your WR that much.

the enemy smurf

See right there is the problem with your view of the jungle changes.

An Enemy Smuf jungler would mob the floor with you no matter the changes. They are a smurf.

If they are not a smurf and you are getting owned in your own jungle then ask your team to help and start warding your jungle. 100% you will kill that jungler and get some shutdown gold.

Yeah I know you need to vertical jungle, I used to play jungle but I really don't enjoy playing the role because it feels to tedious at times, I made this post for my junglers because no one really handles a level 1 invading shaco my bot will just sit and watch shaco harass my jungler and I dont run tp so I cant really help him either.

  1. if you aren't jging then you can play for prio and help ur jg gain pressure by invading setting up wards on camps and pinking bushes.
  2. Coordinate and 3-4 man dive bot or top
  3. Literally just look at the matchups and just see who has prio and when you should gain prio or base.

It really isn't that hard if you want to climb and think about the game. I'm not trying to bash you, but if you don't want to self improve at the game then play normals because complaining about things you cannot control vs improving is just a bad mentality.

If you are mid play ori or something then stack a wave with a slow push, then hard shove when you get a large wave. Tell your jg to come invade or take drag or something b/c you have prio. If the enemy jg is invading you 2v1 them. You will prob say well the enemy leblanc mid will come! Here's the catch with that one, since you slow pushed and stacked a wave you will be around 1/2 a lv up if not a full level up. If they leave then they give up all of that exp and gold. If they move then you just disengage if you cannot win the 2v2. No matter what they enemy has a net loss in that situation. You can also do the opposite and duo invade and pressure the enemy off the camps or you can solo invade the enemy and scout and steal or kill. You can force the enemy jg to play to how you want.

Catchup exp before this literally just punished junglers for out jungling because invading and stealing camps did nothing. It made it so linnear that they will do red side to bot/top gank then scuttle or vert or mid.

Again, not trying to insult you or anything I am trying to be constructive when I say if you want to complain about something then just play normals and have fun. If you want to improve, just look at what you can do to affect the game.

E: Feel free to add me and I can help you.

You're not wrong, except when you mention Eve still being viable.
