Toplane smite is the worst thing I've ever experienced, from a jungler's perspective.

Hi, I have mained jungle since I first started playing ranked in season 3 and I have lived through various incarnations of laners taking smite or buying the jungler items. However, recently with the toplane smite meta jungling has become much more frustrating because I frequently have either my toplaner clear out my top camps after pushing out the lane or I have to worry about defending against the enemy toplaner invading my jungle to steal my camps. To make matters worse the fact that they buy cinderhulk skirmishers makes driving them out of my jungle difficult. This leads to a situation where I, the jungler am chronically underleveled and gold starved because 1/3 to 1/2 of the camps are missing at any given time. depending on if mid and bot decides to farm the Razorbeaks or Krugs too. This in my opinion has made jungling no longer enjoyable to play since unless you are going for a cheap build you are guaranteed to be fucked and yes, that means all carry-type junglers. I hope Riot sees this and makes suitable adjustments to smite toplaners ruining the jungling experience. Either make the camps respawn faster or nerf cinderhulk

I'd talk to them prior to the start of the game and ask them not to take your early camps. They should understand that if it hinders the team they can do without.

Well, I mean you could try telling them to not farm your jungle. also if youre playing a carry jger, I have a revised song for you. note, edited for carry JGERS. Swimming pools-Carry jg version. Pour up (gank) head shot (gank) Sit down (gank) stand up (gank) Pass out (gank) wake up (gank) Faded (gank) faded (gank)

I'm talking about solo queue, where everyone only looks after themselves. Toplanes don't give a fuck about starving their own jungler as long as they are getting gold out of it

As a team, you can easily see when the enemy top laner is MIA. If they have any sense of teamwork at the time you'll be able to ask them to come into your jungle and spank them

Yeah toplaners that go cinderhulk are champions like hecarim, mundo, or shyvana. They want you to 3 man collapse on them so their jungler can start dragon or gank bot or take a tower
