What can I do to improve?

Wilyum·Oct 4, 2018·1 votes·1,258 views

I usually play jungle and am having an extremely hard time. I generally have good vision control and map awareness but I seem to be unable to carry. I play junglers like Warwick, Jax, Urgot, and a few others. I often can manage to gank burn an enemy flash and keep moving or repeat gank.
The problem is for the last 8/9 jungle games I lose and 2 if not all 3 lanes lose hard. Sometimes the enemy jg ganks them or they just die solo to laners. How can I compensate for this lack of lane pressure, if top gets lost at 12 minutes to a Darius who is 5/1 how can I apply pressure to things like Rift, same with drag if bot loses.
I usually gank based on lane position and objective priority, if an infernal drake is up I like to try and be near botside, if I think they are gonna make a rift play I try to go topside. How can I help improve my pressure.

There is no need. Every 1 out 3 games you lose no matter what and how you play. Also because of luck these kind of games can continuously haunt you a few times in a row

You give the most dumbest statistic ever. Where are you getting this from?

If you think that is not true, give me a better estimate

AGAIN, where are you getting these statistics? It ISN'T guarantee that you will lose one out of three matches...

That's like saying, "You will win one out of ten lottery tickets." EVEN here it's different from what you're saying as League is more based on skill and how coordinate your team works together.

I've had times where I had a 20 game winning streak. Does that mean I've only won 20 games out of 60? Nope, because it's a winning streak.

I wonder if he is trying to get to a statistic..even if you do have a 20 game win streak, you net win rate (unless you're smurfing) should be around 50% (if you are climbing)...a 1 out of 3 is a bad estimate IMO. if you played for a year with a 50% win rate --it does mean you lost half of your games viz. 1 out of every 2...not that I agree with his estimate-just trying to explain what he probably was getting at.

That 20 games is nothing because my win rate in the games that I won is 100%. I don't understand what are you trying to say. You think no matter how bad the situation is you can still turn the tide over?

And here you're stating everyone will lose 1 game out of 3...

You sound very negative and someone who plays alone and or for themselves. This is a team game and if you aren't capable of playing as a team then sure, you can believe in your made up statistic of losing one game every three.

Don't assume things for me either. All I stated and rebutted about your claim is that it's entirely false. Don't be upset if someone is proving you incorrectly. You think because I have said statistic it is inaccurate and or that yours are proven 100% better? Anyone can write in 100% and while searching your user on na.op.gg, yours isn't 100%. Sure maybe when you win ONE game, it's 100% you won...

Some games are impossible to win due to design..more you win, the likely your chances of losing the next game. Climbing the ranked ladder happens when you happen to play enough games on a net positive win rate which 'sometimes' is in your control or based on your plays.

Unfortunately this is a team game..try to duo queue with another person you meet in game to increase chances of winning through some coordinated effort.

Otherwise solo queue is pretty much a coin toss unless the skill disparity is very high (Plat to Bronze) that you manage to have a decisive impact on any game or solo carry it. Best chance at solo queue is to main particular champs and spam as many games as possible (around 30+ hours of gameplay each week) to be able to learn each match up against the champ you end up maining. Anyone who is in Diamond or above play the game upwards of 40hours each week or have had in the past to get to the skill level they are at.

Yea it just sucks that I fell from Gold 3 to Gold 5 in so few games, and like 85% of those were unwinnable

If you want to further improve your game play, look at current champions who are doing well in the meta, have a small pool of champions to play from. Watch higher elo players play those champions and their route decisions and or jungle decision making.

Copy them and repeat until you have it memorized as best as you can. You can then start playing better as a jungler because you're broadening your perspective of the game and how it should be played at a higher elo.

Just keep doing what you are doing. Gain as much mastery as you can on a couple of champs and keep refining your skills on those champs. Set goals for your gameplay. Observed players in high elo and if you see anything that you think will work for you then incorporate it into your game.
