Jungle and Support: i feel them like two paths of the same road
As long as new support items got live. I immediately stopped playing support. I just cannot handle the gold starvation after supp item is completed, i wish vision wasn't so important that I could sell the support item so i can gain some gold by farming or getting kills. But like probably a LOT of main supports here, which way we can flee? I mained support from Lulu's arrival, so it's like a LOT of time. When i play off-role in normal i recognize i lack some skills to be relevant in other roles, especially in solo lanes. Can't quite master last-hitting and even if i documented myself about wave managment, i still find it quite hard when you have to take care about enemy. So...i found myself choosing jungle, and even if it's a unpopular role that pretty makes the game, i found a lot in common with support right now.
-I don't need to be so high in farm, as long i help getting pressure in lane, if i find a free wave it's usually in a empty lane when i cant just last-hit peacefully -As a support, playing jungle as a similar pattern in terms of helping teammates and turning tables in lost fights. -I'm already used to be underleveled, so i know what i can do and when i have to play safe. Especially when solo lanes are lv 6 and i'm 4-5. -As long as my team takes objectives, i dont care if i end up dying in a fight, especially if we get an ace or an inibitor/dragon/etc...
I think Jungle and Support have never been so similar nowadays. I know that there are also jungler that snowball and can destroy evrything alone, but they have to get a massive lead early...and this can also happen in bot lane. Or at least could...before the supp item chages.
-A fed Zyra/Brand ecc could just burst all the team. -A fed tank could just take everything and set up kills -A fed enchanter could do decent dmg and give a lot of buffs to a competent teamate.
So that's why i feel like playing jungle from support is giving me less problems than other lanes. I know you cant just shift from a role to another being perfect in that, but i find many times that enemy jungler also have no clue what they are doing, and i still really suck at jungle!!!
I still hope support items will get some love, cos i'm not touching bot lane again...if i'm not ganking there ofc. I have still a lot to learn but i'm documenting myself and learning the basics, i just feel like a roaming support now with a lot more freedom without a gold cut after a certain amount of time :)
I'm probably a little bit crazy xD It's just i'm still so confused after fleeing my main role!!! Do you think what i feel playing jung too?
