Seems like the only way to climb is to play jungle.

A wise man once said, "The best way to get something done is to do it yourself".

So I started playing jungle instead of top and mid in order to climb and I am currently sitting at a 65%+ winrate merely because the morons you find playing jungle if you don't play it yourself are so utter bad in this season, it becomes impossible to win with any other shit role this game has to offer.

The problem with jungle isn't that the role is weak. No, jungle is probably the strongest role in the game right now. It's strong to the point where playing anything else to climb feels like trolling because if you'r serious about climbing, you can't possible give this role up to some afk farming moron who won't ever gank a lane or try to contest objectives.

That is hilarious considering you're posting from a botted Twisted Treeline account that you bought.

Better Jungler wins 90% of the time

Or you pick one of the hilariously broken top lane champions and hit plat by default.

As a hybrid jungle main and mid laner I can tell you that your statement is bs. You can snowball hard as a jungler, even set up a top laner nicely so they have 3 kills to 0 but if the person can not lane it means absolutely nothing. The current state of the game does not allow for solo carrying. If you're laners die 3 times in 5 minutes it doesn't matter how fed you are you're going to lose. Try to lead by example in your lane and people will 7 times out of 10 follow your direction. Teamwork in this season of the game is what really wins matches. That wasn't the case seasons 1-5 (I started officially in Season 2) but it is now.

Idk being able to throw out a random hook at someone every 4 seconds with the potential of that pick to be game winning while also having zero risk, seems like a pretty solid way to win games

Midlane is fine too if you roam a lot.

You can do it as mid, just a bit harder. If you want to do it as top you have to pick something REALLY good at split pushing.

Jungle is one of the highest autofill roles so yes, it does seem to be worth learning.

Idk. At the end of this season I stopped picking jungle and started picking Fill and went from P4 to D4 in like 3 days. Seems like if you play Fill and stop your teammates from getting autofilled and trolling, you win a ton of games. Of course, that requires you to know how to play all 5 roles but as a normal blind pick player that wasn't an issue for me.

It's why I became a jungle main dude. Top you have no impact on the game. Mid you just get camped. Bot you are with an absolutely brain dead moron as your lane partner who can't do basic shit like ward and play safe. Jungling is THE role to be if actually want control over the game and want to be able to carry. Jungle difference is very real.

Ive been on a pretty good climb from Supp. I found a champ (Leona) I really mesh with along with a good back up (Lux) if shes not available. So JG isnt the ONLY way to climb. It is a very important role and much of the game is in your hands, so 1 minor mistake can lead to a domino effect. Its why I dont mid where im currently at, as its too important of a role and im too bad at certain things (csing in my case) to really level up.
