If You, As A Jungler, Screw Up Someone's Lane

TS Media··8 votes·1,379 views

By making a bad play, forcing your laner to follow up to try and prevent your death, then ending in a double kill for the enemy -- DO NOT leave your laner hanging especially if it's a delicate lane that is lost by one kill. Fix the bleeding before it's too late. Too many times I see jglers come in when the laner is pinging not to only to screw up any methodical planning the laner had causing him to be royally screwed for the rest of the game.

If your jungler ganks and he dies, it's his fault. If you try to back up your jungler, knowing full well that it's a bad engage, and you die, it's your fault.

Don't ever "save" people in soloqueue unless you're a support who has the capacity to do so. If someone on your team jumps in 1v5 and you know it's a fight you'll probably lose, just don't go in. If you try to be a hero and "save" the village idiot, that's on you. You knew that they were dead the moment they burned flash. Just let them die.

-pings no mana. jungle goes in and dies. "WHY DIDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING????"- -pings on the way. assumes I'm there and hard engages. "WHERE WERE YOU?????"- -pings for me to go in, I go in, we're caught out. we both die. "NOOB MID LANER!!!!!!"-

I really try my best to communicate with junglers and I appreciate the help, but really I would love for it to be a 1v1 lane until one of us dies or they come to gank. Every game, I'm always trying to be better than my opponent. Once one of us dies or I can tell if it's a won/lost lane, I will usually turn into a team-oriented focus and try to set up for ganks.

If you come in and one of us dies, just say that. I don't want any blame on anyone's part, just tell me what happened and we can try again. No, you do not need to fix that patch, however if you can see an opportunity to make amends, then definitely get my attention because I tunnel vision HARD.

I don't know...I feel like a single death on our team to a lane opponent that feels oppressive is already too much. There's no worse feeling than seeing your idiot jungle going in to 'help' you and you want him to stay out of the area completely as a top lane player. Granted, I don't play top lane so much, but if I'm losing my lane, the last thing I want is to lose the lane even harder. If you're so bad at ganking that you are willing to fight some guy 1vs1 and risk dying to an OP champion, then just learn to secure dragons and you'll be a much better jungle player.

By making a bad play, forcing your laner

Did he push you off your computer chair and take control of your computer?

Just stare and watch as the idiot dies. It's better than both of you dying.

Low elo. Don't rely on your jungler too often.

There's no choice. If they come at a bad time, it screws me over more than not. What really annoys me is when they decide to take camps, missing out on opportune moments to gank. By the time they finish the camp, the opportunity is gone.

What's really annoying is when they ping "on the way" while I'm pushed under my own turret, and then they clear the jungle while I die because I was trying to set up the expected gank.

"Oh, I meant I'm coming after I cleared that half of the jungle."

I'm sorry, did you expect the level 8 Tryndamere with his ult up to wait 2 minutes until you were done clearing before diving me when I'm 1/4 health?

You just contradicted yourself. If that lane is that snowbally that jungler needs to force pressure elsewhere and get the other lanes ahead so:

  1. The opposing jungler is required elsewhere so your now behind laner can farm more peacefully
  2. The other lanes don't fall behind as a result since the enemy jungler won't need to help that lane that is now ahead and can then focus attention there.
