Jungle Enchantments: Who Gets 'Em?
Okay, so, I main jungle, and this is something I have been experimenting with over the past couple of weeks, and I'd love to hear other people's thoughts/opinions on the matter, but this is the conclusion I've come to, personally: jungle enchantments are not worth rushing
First of all, for reference, I mostly have been playing Rek'Sai, Vi, and Diana in the jungle.
For Rek'Sai and Vi, I notice significant early-game improvement when prioritizing
IMMEDIATELY after purchasing
. I benefit from the extra gold, monster damage, slight sustain, and chilling smite with 350g, so the cost efficiency is through the roof. But when it comes down to enchanting with warrior or grabbing Tiamat, I ALWAYS notice better clear times and better trading when choosing Tiamat; obvious synergy with Rek'Sai's Q, and synergy with Vi's E due to Hydra proc with each cast. Besides the better clear/trading, once you upgrade to Hydra your sustain becomes insane, which benefits your clear time AND your trading even further since you can gank at higher HP and live longer in trades. After that point, if I need tankiness I start building tanky according to the enemy team, or if I am really pwning noobs I can build
on Vi or usually
on Rek'Sai for improved chasing. I almost never end up purchasing the jungle enchantment either way, because I simply don't need it.
For Diana, I still grab
but obviously her build is a lot different from Vi or Rek'Sai. Normally I either go for
to add some burst and mana, or if I really need a Zhonya's ASAP I just start working toward that immediately. Under either circumstance, I find going straight into other items more beneficial than finishing the
.
What do you guys think?
then boots+core item before switching to something like this
