Duo top in solo queue

OhOkYea··1 votes·765 views

Never bothered to learn jungle until recently because it seemed boring. The new jungle seemed a bit more interesting, and it is. But it's way too hard. Even top picks like Lee Sin have to really work hard to keep up. If they do then bravo, if not because they got counter jungled just once or a failed gank then it's 4v5. So far the only other jungler with warwick like sustain (that I've played/know of) is fiddlesticks, but his ganks are weak and his ult is useless outside of a CC'd team fight against anyone that can right click on the map. I'm interested to see how the upcoming buffs work out (especially xin). Seems like a complete waste to have anyone besides Warwick soloing the jungle, because if they fall behind for even a split second the whole team suffers.

Personally, unless I can get Warwick, I can't see myself going through the frustration of jungling with the way the jungle is now. So how often and how accepting are people of a duo top in solo queue? The buffs could go to use on the laners, and the duo top/bot could farm their side of the jungle for XP early on. This would allow for more diverse set ups and strategies, but nothing so complicated that a pug couldn't put it together in the pre-game chat.

Ehh, from what I've played most people are completely unwilling to give up having a jungler. The fact that other lanes would have to hold their own, without receiving ganks or having someone to hold their lane so they can go back to buy just turns some people off. Also, it would more than likely allow the enemy jungler to farm relentlessly on both sides, unless your team is amazing and buys wards (bronze joke). I wouldn't really care personally, because i miss when jungling wasn't really in the meta. But that's just me.

If I can clear 5 camps, steal dragons and get my lanes fed with leona, I'm sure you can do well with one of the strongest junglers.

Try a atk speed rune page with a 21/9/0 chogath and you'll have a buffet line, also if you start red you wont need a leash, because like xin, lee and olaf, chogath is a real jungler.
