My god Yi and Jax players are going into withdraw.

I just had 2 games, one with Jax Jg and one with Yi Jg. Both just would not stop farming. It's like they got there Bloodrazor and Rage Blade but they just kept trying to sate the Bloodrazor. Guys its okay the relentless stack farming is over. You can come out of the Jg and see the sun now.

to be fair jax ganks are not much better

Gap closer, hard CC, lots of burst and DPS. He's not Lee sin tier for ganks, but he's far and away better than Yi. On a sliding scale, you get:

Yi—————Shyvana——Jax———Lee sin/Elise———Nautilus

Elise can just press E and ignore turret shots. Though admittedly that's going to be much harder since you can't juggle turret Aggro anymore.

Spaceman5pff2 votes

A good elise player can cross through a turret using rappel without taking a single shot, that hasn't changed. If anything, the fact that it doesn't juggle is a buff to elise as she can still hold the aggro whilst rappeled and, if my memory of recent changes serves me right, she just holds aggro while not being damaged, right?

The Yetii Rider2 votes

It just swaps to another target with no damage fall off. So if she Rappels, the next champion will start taking shots and they will take them at full damage (if she was taking 140% damage from the turret, now the other player is taking 140% damage from the turret).

Spaceman5pff2 votes

Gotcha, I misunderstood the idea of "not juggling tower aggro" to mean that it didn't switch until the target left / died. my bad LOL Haven't really played much at all lately.. game seems to be falling apart under tencent + ive had Overwatch, Battleborn, and Final exams :P

Warwick can gank without an ult? I thought he just comes to lane and dances.

I feel like people forgot mao exists

MagicDragon3001 votes

He stopped being a jungler quite a while ago due to a combination of jungle changes and changes to him among other things so I've heard.

ViashinoWizard5 votes

He can still jungle, he's just so much stronger as a top laner there's no real reason to take him there, similar to Nautilus.

ZyniX2 votes

The lower range on his w also made it harder to gank but top lane mao can just come from behind via tp.

Ermurgerd30 votes

You're right. As a Yi main, I played a custom match to check out the jungle changes. I legitimately forgot that I don't have to stack devourer anymore and was trying to sate Bloodrazor. It's just so weird not powerfarming for ~15 minutes.

ViashinoWizard9 votes

I mean, Yi should probably still just powerfarm while looking for opportunities to countergank or take objectives.

well both of those champions have fairly weak early games. their niche was weak early. hyper carry late....theres really nothing they can do about it

THEJJSLAY3 votes

People don't understand when a champion has weak moments you need to play around, if they are weak at any point they are bad and need to be buffed, if they are good at all times they are too strong and need to be nerfed.

The Deckowner7 votes

yi and jax are still not typical gank junglers, evwn after completing items, it is better to farm and attempt to counter gank instead of forcing ganks.

charcharmunro2 votes

Jax is kind of an all-rounder jungler, really. He can gank all game fairly decently compared to Yi, he can split-push, he can clean-up teamfights, etc.

TheOvermind7 votes

I had 2 games with a Yi jg yesterday, they both farmed their asses off but they also got EVERY SINGLE SCUTTLE, and soloed Dragons early as well. I can't hate this.

Don't hate on our excellent objective playstyle. Some call it withdrawal, other call it good jg...same same...

THESuperStuntMan6 votes

For the most part, a lot of people who were playing devourer champions legitimately know almost nothing about jungling. They just farmed for 15 minutes then ran to lanes to try and kill people. Now that they're not rewarded for doing this, I imagine their success rates will drop quite a bit.

Mistress Madoka4 votes

Idunno man, if a Jungler is getting rich off of ganks, wouldn't that be better than him getting rich off of Farming and leaving his team to defend themselves?

Spaceman5pff4 votes

Yeah but asking a Yi to seek out a gank unless there is like Alistar Annie Leona Lissandra Nautilus Morgana there to set up is just asking for disaster. Not many champions out there has 2 kits worth of CC or Burst Damage.

but like many have said in this thread, Yi, Jax, Shyvana and the likes make for excellent countergankers.

Mistress Madoka3 votes

I agree
