As laners... from your Jungler...

Mavëríck··10 votes·6,211 views

Could you guys please look at your mini map more and see when I'm close and when I'm at another lane?

Could you please respond the ping spam of "omw" pings signalling very clearly that I'm about to gank for you with a return "omw" or "danger" ping showing if you plan to help or are asking me not to right now?

Could you please understand that kills aren't always the goal and that sometimes I just want the enemy summoners down so your lane is easier?

Could you please understand when and how to retreat?

Could you please understand how to play under tower?

Could you please try to freeze lane better?

Could you please not constantly be so pushed up next to the enemy tower and still rage at me for not ganking?

Could you please understand that if you're drowning in lane, your jungler is not a life guard, and that saving you risks your chances for a comeback?

Could you please help secure objectives like Dragon, Rift Herald more readily?

Could you please let me know if enemy ults or other abilities that help them escape ganks, are on cool down or not?

Could you, if an adc, stop blaming your support for your mistakes and then turning on me when I try to get you to calm down?

Could mid please roam with me more?

Could you please learn stand back and use your wards if you're getting camped?

More to follow I'm sure, but these simple courtesies will go a long long way in helping us all get along and win. Thank you.

I would also like to ask the jungler, when I'm playing Nasus vs an ignite Darius and I have a huge wave coming in for me to stack at level 2, please do not try to gank my lane.

This is something I struggled with as a laner. Having a massive wave crashing and finally getting my lane in a position where I can farm, and my jg runs in insisting we can make a gank happen despite me being down a level and half HP - so I sacrifice a massive amount of CS to chase a 50/50 gank.

Now I actively avoid this as a jungler and ask before I go up to a lane like this.

It happens all too often. The worst part of not responding to the gank after you ping the jungler to backoff a bunch of times is to have them start trolling or taking your CS.

I've been on both sides of this tons of times and there's honestly no winning. It's a coin flip whether who you're dealing with is gonna grief after it happens.

I've had laners ping for ganks and it turns out they just wanted me to get the guy off them and not go for a kill, but since that wasn't communicated I go in on someone where I think it's 2v1 and end up dying. Then the laner calls me an inter and takes my camps whenever they're able and it's a shitty game all around.

Then I have junglers whenever I switch it up and go back to lane who take my farm or just int to feed my enemy and spam "ff15 shit top"

Sad times.

I just want to point out that both sides are right.

Maybe your specific Darius/Ignite has something going on I don't get... But if your Jungle comes Top in that situation it goes back to the "Watch your Map and respond to Pings". The Jungle feels comfortable enough to come into lane for one of two reasons..again read the OP.. A: Secure a kill B: Get the Flash out

If that Darius is pushed to turret with minions and you're Nasus, and your Jungle comes in- then smack Dar with wither and let your jungle engage. Darius will flash if he has it and Jungle will leave 9 times out of 10 while you're free to actually farm that mob without darius poking you off it.

sorry but low elo only has that problem with jglers, and you cant rlly force that in on every jungler ever. Bc i know for sure every single mid laner in low elo, every single bot in low elo, will not roam to help you, or themselves snowball. Low elo in this case would be silver to bronze. (Yes i know actual low elo is all the way up to plat 4, but in this case, the problems with jglers and laners stop by the time they hit gold)

As a adc main, just one thing:

Could you please understand what lane priority means ?

Basically everyone should know it, laners and junglers.

Thank you.

I'm a jungle main myself (coming off of recently maining support) and honestly, everyone needs to understand this. Too many think anyone can go anywhere at any time with no consequences but that's just not how the game works.

I know that it's more frustrating when you are the jng, but everyone here should chill out a bit because everyone makes mistakes in terms of macro and junglers are not an exception.

I would like to ask the jungler as well to check if there is EVEN a minimap for him to look on some lanes while enjoying his eternal coffee in his jungle.(0/0/0 at 20:00).

While we understand that kills are not always the goal,you should also understand that,playing as a top laner against a bad matchup with ignite gives us less chances to win the lane or survive.

While we understand that we should know when to retreat and how to perma farm under tower,you should also understand that a perma-pushed lane is usually the easiest to gank and punish aggressive plays.

I can't remember how many times my jungler froze the lane for the enemy's top laner.

Pushing our lanes is a form of strategy too.You can also do some nice plays to kill the pushed enemy.Depends on your Top laner's IQ.You can coordinate him too if you are up for it.

Drowning in lane after getting 4-5 ganks from the enemy jungler is actually your responsibility as well for not having jungle pressure.When the enemy's jungle has been farming your top side jungle for 10 minutes,means that you just do not care to help your top laner and you only focus at bot and mid(rarely).The enemy's jungler takes herald after killing your top again and again and you also lose 1st and 2nd tier towers from Herald.Sounds familiar?Objectives?Please....

Do not talk about CD when the jungler walks 1 vs 1 to the top laner just to die and give him free buffs.

P.S. You can be called a jungler when you learn the meaning of "counter gank"

P.S.2 The most active jungler wins the game.If the enemy's jungler got more kills and assists than you,that means he tried more than you to win.
