Junglers Stop Smiting My Cannon.

BeNiceToOthers··36 votes·13,307 views

With the change to cannon minions, that shit is expensive. I thought the point of a jungle is to get your laners ahead, not set them behind.

I'm expecting some of you say "But you take our jungle farm too". Not right in front of your face. I don't see you doing krugs or blue or whatever, and jump in to take the last hit. Like seriously, to just smite my cannon minion AS IM HITTING IT. STOP IT.

Next gen. Using dematerialiser on cannon minion.

If a jungle is taking dematerialiser just to tax lanes I swear they should be banned.

I did it to help with splitpushing lategame without building any damage.

I mean, it's not like the gold goes to waste. You'd be happy, if that jungler manages to carry you in the end.

Yraco1 votes

Either way I tend to like spending gold on myself since I know I can make some use of it, I play alright in most of my games but I have no idea about how good a random soloq jungler is.

Snowman Arc1 votes

Can't argue with that. Sometimes, though, my mindset is that I can make my champion work and be useful even without much gold, so I can give away some if it means that my teammates won't be useless trash. Not gonna do it if I'm playing a late game carry like Sivir or Viktor though.

I totally get that, like I said though I tend to be really selfish unless it's my premade and I know what they can do.

as a mid laner, if your half way across the map from scuttle, you can consider that gold as good as mine

Laners stop taking my scuttle, buffs and camps.

You literally come to buffs because you "demand" it and try to burst it down when you're 0/3 and will feed the buff anyways (I'm looking at you, you mid lane degenerates)

InimitableArctic1 votes

i literally never ask for buffs but i always try to help or just take scuttle if my jungler isn't near

Junglers need to stop farming in order to give you that help. Call it a tax for getting you caught up in lane.

When does taxing (in IRL or in LOL) ever benefit the laner?

Lauchmelder13 votes

When the tax is less than your income, at least ingame.

If the jungler just got you a kill then taxing is totally fine. Just going to lane to smite a canny is not.

i really hate that, and the worst part is that hey call it pushing the lane when in reality they ruin your safeness by forcing you to stay far from your tower when you dont want it provoking a gank from the enemy jg

That's why you steal red and blue buff and also raptors from them.

Hell, i'd even take their scuttle just to get ahead.

[sg-ahri-1]

shoving the lane is a viable tactic though(not all the time but a good portion of the time you would want to do it). If the wave is forcing you to overextend then you either shoved when you were not supposed to, or didn't shove properly.

I always do that while recalling for maximum unexpected tilt. [sg-jinx]

So taking blue raptors and shuttle acting like u own these 3 jungle camp and yet u complain about a jungler taking Canon with smite? Every game asa. Jungle main i spam ping my mid lane to stop taking my fucking raptors and skutrle they don't listen what's even more annoying is they always leave 1-2 small minion because their aoe spells don't hit them and they don't wanna waste time congratulations u took ur jungler xp income and put him even behind by forcing him to take out the 2 small raptors delaying camp spawn time to take it again next time and skutrle. Why do people not realize how much more xp Skittle gives to jungler? Skuttle is greater on jungler then laners unless u have low hp and u need to heal it back up STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY SKUTTLE

What bothers me the most is when I'm an ADC. I'm trying to stay even with my lane opponent and our JG comes in, and gets a kill with no assist for me so no gold income for me. And smites my cannon and then kills the caster minions.

I have a horrible early game as an ADC, I play for late and setting me that far behind... just no.

C9 Squeeky 2 votes

Taxing, ugh. But if they kill your lane opponent, that should help you to push and get exp/lvl advantage regardless, possibly even tower or drake.

5050BS1 votes

Thats not taxing. They are subtly telling you he wanted you to pick Taric because you picked the wrong adc

C9 Squeeky 1 votes

What is your definition of taxing?

Think it Thru2 votes

Yo if you couldn't get an assist off a gank that's on you. Not ur jungler

Stand Alone Wolf3 votes

I like when they help you secure the kill, then leave when you're on top of the enemy turret. Like wtf turn that ass round, and help me chisel this shit down!

Nope, his goal is to win the game. If your odds of victory are greater if he is fed rather than if you are fed he's totaly right to take your canon minion. If he's going to make a better use than you of this gold, he's right to take it.

If a laner takes my scuttlecrab I'm taxing 3 waves of farm and then inting their lane opponent.

I really don't blame you. Crab is such a huge thing.

Rofl, seriously though. A lane taking that scuttle early enough is so fucking tilting.

Usually jungle mains think they are entitled to the laners farm just by existing, even if he never actually ganked your lane, just came to take the minion, he still thinks he's right.

What are these jungle mains you speak of? Oh yeah those who only play jungle as their preferred role, yeah haven't seen any of those since patch 8.10/8.11.

To be fair, junglers had their time in the spotlight in the patches before that, and ADC for the past 6 seasons. It's time for other roles to shine in the meta now

So just for laughs what role is supposed to shine in this meta?

If you get the kill im taking the canon

ive had junglers literally wipe my lane out from under me as im standing there with level 3 relic shield trying to execute minions for health sustain.

the best of both worlds.

so now i dont play relic shield supports. pyke is fun, but i dont play him because he needs relic shield.

i've had mid laners wipe raptors out from underneath me with 1 ability

bottoms idle nearby and last hit skuttle, red buff, blue buff, gromp, you name it theyve done it.

one tried to take krugs, but because of the weird delay when they shatter i managed to get some of the gold.

and oh em gee is it annoying asking for help with drake or a drake contest and everyone ignores you. same with baron and herald. ESPECIALLY HERALD IN FACT. because you can literally kill herald in 10 seconds if you have 2 people there to poke heralds eye. and everyone is like... nope. gonna miss these last hits on this wave take your honey fruit because lul and sit in this bush while i wait on my lane partner to get back and throw down.

IT'S TIME TO DUEL YUGI!

and so there i am walking around in circles trying to poke heralds eye hoping that heralds dumb slash move doesnt cause me to miss watching one lane feed while the other lane loses turret and scared to death that mid is going to roam top to aid in skuttle secure... it's stressful kay?

but even still i dont smite cannon minions unless someone is missing from their lane. when someone is missing from their lane i'll wreck a minion like a right turn in nascar, but otherwise i save my smite for hp purposes.

The point of the jungler is not to get the laners ahead, though. I don't know where you got this idea from. Also, if you don't want your jungler to take your cannon minion, then you don't take their blue buff either.

Well, some champions do have to get the laners ahead as they are pretty useless themselves alone (maybe, because have support-ish kit Ivern ), but yeah, solocarrying as XinZhao or Khazix is a thing so taking everything works if you manage to 1v3 later on.

Andrey03451 votes

Am I allowed to do that after successful gank with you getting the kill? I mean, taxing is still a thing so kinda nothing wrong with that except wasting a whole smite charge.

big boi edri1 votes

Sometimes when I'm spam pinging my lane for help in an early duel at scuttle and they ignore me (despite being in a position to where they could help), I'll run through their lane and take cannon and soak experience just as a "fuck you" to that lane.

I'll only do it once though, after that we even.

That said, I really only cuck my laners intentionally without them realizing it when their wave is pushed in to tower. I'll usually take Raptors with my back to the wall so I can soak the XP from that wave. I dont think anyone in Gold even realizes I'm doing it though.

I hate when I set my laners up for easy last hits by getting them all low, and they miss them all...
