The blue buff syndrome

Lucrativic··3 votes·446 views

When I'm playing a jungler that needs the blue buff, the midlaner always asks for the first or second one. Whenever I play a jungler that doesn't need it, the midlaner REFUSES to take blue, even when there isn't a wave shoved up to the tower. Because of this unusual phenomenon, I've named it the "blue buff syndrome" May someone tell me why?

You've got to remember, correlation does not equal causation. Just because one thing happens and then another thing happens does not necessarily mean they are causing one another or that they are even related to one another.

Blue Buff Syndrome = Confirmation Bias.

You are probably remembering all of the frustrating situations and forgetting about the normal ones where things work like they are supposed to.

All that said, I feel your pain. It's super frustrating when laners go for buffs or ignore them and do the exact opposite of what we need (I like to jungle a lot too).

Because if you're playing a jungler that needs blue buff, you put your team at a disadvantage and your midlaner loses lane, then complains that he needs blue buff. Why? Because you're not playing Zac,Elise, or Lee Sin

Saw your jg games- they should be wanting blue buff. You've only had about 4 jg games in last 20, so maybe you haven't had enough jg games?

I used to main jungle actually, and as shaco I kept on asking this ziggs to get blue buff. Around the 3rd or 4th time he actually refused and started flaming me. What a world, eh?
