Tried my hand at playing jungle again

Just went into normals, thought it would be no biggie. I've got a decent handle on pathing so I thought it shouldn't be to hard to find my groove again.

I forgot it's literally your job to win lane for people, or less you get spam pinged and flamed. My respect went up for jungle mains tonight, Idk how ya'll deal with this on a regular basis

The meta for jungle is not playing jungle. Just sit in a lane and abuse catch up exp and plates.

The game would be easier for JG if people played around them more.

Ex: Not playing aggressive when your JG can't assist you, helping him secure camps, vision etc.

Like srs, everytime i play JG i see all the dumb mistakes laners do like never ward, push without vision then wonder why they get ganked, get baited etc.

Must be so hard to be the single most broken role for the last 3 years. Much respect. Muh poor junglas.

you guys over complicate the jungle massively all you have to do is gank solo's pre-6 gank bottom post-6 take some liberties where necessary but more often than not this simple thing is going to win you games as jungle.

Try playing jungle with 2 losing lanes or a single lane whose lifelong goal is to feed the enemy laner 10 kills by minute 7 and then doesn't even look at the map and move to his team to contest objectives.

That's the jungle.

People make fun of afk farm junglers, but as far as afk farm ignoring the map goes, laners take the cake with their precious CS. You even come gank for them and they expect you to almost die doing 70% of the work 1 level under their enemy laner while they step up in the last 2 seconds to see if they can then KS you.

Here's what I find hilarious:

I often win all three lanes for my team as jungler.. Kill top/Mid Twice, Double bot......

..............And then my team feeds it all right back to them, shortly after I rotate out.

That's what's real fun. Hyper carry with 4 int feeders. The Yolo addiction is real.

When literally every lane gives their laner a kill before you can even clear your second buff (before scuttle even spawns the first time)... Then spam ping to flame you, asking why you haven't ganked yet.

Then there are those times where you literally can't farm your jungle, because the moment you go to clear a single camp the lane that you've been camping decides to run it down and give their laner a kill, after you successfully ganked for them and got them a kill themself, throwing their lead away (most likely to happen in bot).

The thing that gets me is when my laners don't understand how important that first clear is. You give me a decent leash and I can perform well but if I'm spending a longer time killing that first buff camp then that increases the chances that I'll either be invaded by the enemy jungler on the other side of the jungle or not be able to counter gank if the enemy jungler is able to gank efficiently at lv 2-3.

VanCanBanMan10/26/2019, 6:03:26 PM2 votes

Really wish I could full clear without being asked for ganks. It also really sucks when a hard losing lane is being shoved in and they keep asking you to gank them you to gank them and salvage their lane when you could be controlling objectives and not giving their enemy laners a double (or triple) kill.

jungle is garbage atm imo. too less xp and too strong camps. if you don't pressure lanes 24/7 you fall easily behind in level. really exhausting

Have fun next season with even less xp and no compensation whatsoever :)

yall be trippin, I get the occasional dude 1 out of a 100 games that expects me to win their lane for them lmao

What seems to work for the enemy jungle is just sit in a lane spam ganking them and take scuttles. anytime this happens, mostly in my lane then we lose.

Gets even better when they squeal "better Jungle wins" after needlessly pushing and diving under towers.

often it isnt correct to camp a lane or even gank. too often when i do "oh yep, theres the enemy jungler".

its like, when the enemy is camping a lane, say botlane, all they have to do at that point is play around it once they get 1-2 kills. If I try to help, if the enemy jg is decent, they should just be there waiting for me. You can't win a fight when the enemy jungler and team have 2 kills and 2 assists each. You are hoping the enemy jungler is dumb and just goes away for some reason

I can sum jungle up in 2 words: Camp bot.

BackdoorPrincess10/27/2019, 9:18:29 AM1 votes

Alternatively, acknowledge that one of your lanes is losing and camp the living shit out of the other to make up for it. Ideally topside since bigpurpletowereater spawns there, pink that shit when it spawns and kill it, take it top and take first turret after you murderize the hell out of the enemy toplaner a few times, force them to respond to toplane while you let your toplaner grab your topside jungle camps and then you head down to do the same to the probably supportless botlane.

If your midlaner can have large teamfight presence gank them whenever you can't do anything else, if they're an assassin get 1 summoner/assist/countergank then let them do their thing

You can't please everyone. I know it's cliche, but it's cliche because it's true. It's not "your job" to do any of this. It's your character's role, not yours.
