Leashing is overrated. I had 20 games in a row with no jungle ganks after I didn't get any jungler ganks. To my surprise when I no longer leashed for them I was allowed to get level 2 before the enemy laners. Not only that, but normally getting enemy minions under tower made them miss a few cs. To top it of I saw a localized increase in winrate. I was hard stuck plat 4 for a few days, and bam now I'm plat 3 after I stop leashing. Games don't seem to be any more difficult or easier because I still get the same number ganks.

Idk I'm pretty sure I'ma get downvoted, but I'll test it out and get back to you guys.

As a Master Yi and Kayn player (cancerous, right?), I usually start leashless Raptors in high hopes that my bot lane would get level 2 first and not feed. Some other junglers REALLY need leashing though or else they will basically be a dud. If you don't want to miss level 2 advantage then throw 4-5 autos and leave immediately. This way you won't lose any minion exp.

You don't even miss any cs doing a full leash. I have never missed cs staying until the buff is dead.

Why did you decide you needed to make two posts about the same concept. Are you just trying to figure out how to sound like less of a jackass.

The point of leashing is not to get more ganks, it's to allow your jungle to be in a better state while jungling. What they do with it is up to them, gank or vision control or invade, doesn't matter, but you can't deny that a jungle with more HP and is less urgent to recall to heal is a pretty good thing to have.

Also you can't be serious in that you think lane shoving, especially in the very early game, is actually a good thing.

It's not so much that he then can get around to ganking faster or can gank more, but because it helps him sustain a bit more through his clear, meaning he can clear more which increases gold which then in turn gives him more items making him stronger if he is needed/when he is needed. It might not seem to you like it helps, but it 100% increases overall efficiency and helps the jungler really at no cost to you. It's a free advantage, so there really is no reason not to take it!

Also I see this is your second post on this, why do you want ganks so badly? Are you always shoved in? What champs do you play? What lane?

Its not even that I want my jungler to gank, its that I want him to do anything. Take rift, dragon, gank top/mid/bot it doesn't matter, they just afk farm for late in almost every game.
