REd + Krugs Level 3 ganks and you

So this is a thing. Laners dont like it. I get it.

But instead of spamming "omg rito plox" threads and upvoting them like lemmings...have any of you considered adapting your play style in the early laning phase?

These threads are popping up left and right, and im surprised all the pompous high elo nerds aren't taking the bait and calling you all bronzies like they normally do.

Early ganks are about 98% certain to NOT be early crash dives or any kind of dive.

If you know youre getting the early gank, or youre the premier red + Krugs recipient...let the them push, and start a freeze early. Its not what you normally like to do, nobody like giving up pressure. BUT, most junglers are going to steer clear of the lanes that are farming near their own tower, so he wont even swing by your lane...and now the early level cheese time window has passed and you can get your lane pressure back.

Im Silver and I approve this message.

The real problem is it dis-proportionally affects team sides. Are you on the side it favors (thanks to First Tower Blood and bot lane being the one without the defensive shield plus the only lane with TWO potential kills)? Then it can be a disproportionate advantage.

Meddler has stated that they're looking at changing exp on krugs to prevent this from happening in the next patch

"I wonder why people think it's such a big deal that one side has to zone themselves off of experience at level 1, or else be forced to immediately blow flash if the jungler can gap close on them, in a lane that is often won simply by whichever side gets to level 2 and all-ins first"

"Surely the high elo players think this is fun - right? right???"

^OP right now
