Stop cutting your own junglers off of their gold and xp, k?

There's nothing worse as a jungler then when you're falling behind cause of some bad plays on your end of good plays on your opponents end, and then your own team (usually the ADC, but both solo lanes can be just as guilty) starts killing all of your jungle camps and often times even running over to you as you're killing a camp just to take the gold.

You guys need to seriously stop and actually think for a freakin moment, ok? Like if your jungler is a tank like Zac or Sejuani then yeah, they don't usually need the gold as much as the laning carries, but if you have a carry jungler who needs to scale just as much then let them have their ONE form of gold and xp generation! Hell, with a jungle item they get more gold and xp then anyone else will so you're in fact stifling your team as a whole by removing that bonus.

So just asking that from now on you guys actually pay attention to the jungler when taking their sole form of income, and I know MANY players will think "well the gold is better on me cause I think I'm better then my jungler/team therefore it all belongs to me!" And to that I say you're a selfish twat who'll never rank up, this season more then any other is the season of "if one person is feeding you probably lose," so let your jungler get their gold and xp so they can actually take part in the game and help you win instead of being too weak and likely leading to your loss.

The usual spam ping when you take 1 cs but when you spam ping them when they take 2 camps it is mostly "chill it is only 2 camps".

Once the lanes break out, all bets are off. I won't take jungle camps in the laning phase, but once we're 20 minutes into the game, I still need to farm. If the lanes are shoved out, them I'm getting the gold I can reach safely, which is usually in the jungle. You're free to farm minions at that point, too, since you've likely finished your jungle item.

Funny thing is if u eveb touch a minion in their lane they'll spam pings and start crying.

When Jungling I don't touch any lane's Farm but I when I fall behind 1-2 levels or 20-30 CS compare to the enemy jungler cause he taking lane XP vs me as I don't .. so my solo lanes or ADC takes my camps.. I always give Red to ADC and Blue to Mid after reaching level 6.. cause i can play without buffs.. an comfortable just getting Krug, Raptors, wolves, gromp and the crabs if they are available .. as I move around on the map getting vision or clearing enemy vision.. setting up for the objectives.. as many supports have 20 or less vision score in 30 min Game.. as I got 40-50 Vision Score.. as a Former Support Main that averaged 50-80 Vision Score in 30-50 Min Games

So I feel you on that.. XP in the Jungle isn't what it used to be.. once you get behind, you are behind nothing really to fix it unless you get some good plays to catch up

Now a days I just report them taking my camps cause to me its griefing me as teammate on the team falling more behind because they dunno how to lane or think they are entitled to my camps .. I don't mind if they need like 60 gold for an item so they take a camp but not every single one.. i am like come on.. Then turns around flaming me cause I can't do anything when 2-3 levels and enemy jungler has 50+ cs on me.

nothing justifies it. even if you are playing sej/zac, u need the exp and levels, especially exp. laners dont get any exp from camps compared to junglers, especially krugs/raptors.

sej was able to hard carry b4 the gut nerf

I don't mind them taking a camp IF taking that camp would give them enough gold to hit a major power spike.

Especially if it's a major power spike on a Hypercarry / scaling champion like Vayne, Yasuo etc.

(Jungler accidently takes one minion) Laner: LOOK HOW FAR BEHIND YOU PUT ME!!! WE'RE LOSING BECAUSE OF YOU!

(Laner takes three camps, and walks by and takes one you were currently killing) Laner: Why are you so behind you useless jungler!

This also applies to the jungler. Don't go take my wave of minions that you see me walking to when you have three camps up in the jungle just next to that lane. Like seriously, the number of times that I ping that I am coming to clear a lane just to have the jungle decide to take every minion is fucking bullshit.

If I can't have your jungle camps, stay the hell off my minions. Because honestly, if you're behind on a Carry Jungler, its better to feed the gold into a carry who is ahead, IE the Mid or the ADC.

Silverseal11/5/2019, 6:22:20 PM2 votes

Let me guess, taking a camp 15 mins in is a big no-no, but you're entitled to take every wave you see. Stop taking waves in midgame and we stop taking your useless camps

Actually its best to take all the farm of the feeding jungler. Now he doesnt need to risk facechecking into unsafe jungle and die solo again for the krugs. This way he is also forced to build cheap tanky items like item 3075 item 3193 item 3118 item 3110 instead of item 3078item 3161 on his 0 7 Jax. In the meantime you will get more gold and xp and can carry harder.

Even if he tilts and leaves the game, your team is prob better off without him and now u get even more gold and xp. You are doing a huge service for the 3 other teammates and he might actually thank you for carrying him.

Then stop stealing our canon minions.

TBH I just stopped thinking laners are players. They are NPC's with poorly coded AI's. By 20 minutes in the game they are all fighting mid so I just clear my jungle in about 40 seconds as Mundo then take side waves and solo carry teamfights. Works pretty well and I have been climbing.

Just deal with it. its not like junglers dont take lane minions.

When I'm playing a non-supportive role (i.e. not Supp or Jung) I am far more likely to take camps from a Jung who's ahead than one who's behind; the only exception to this is if we're falling back and the camp would be lost to the enemy if it was left.

Emperør Rhaast11/6/2019, 8:02:24 AM1 votes

This. This so much.

SO many times does my mid laner just help himself to my blue buff, when I need not only the gold and experience, but the mana regeneration for myself to clear the jungle and gank (the cdr doesn't help either)

Not to mention the top laner clearing krugs and the adc helping himself to my raptors. It puts me super far behind the enemy jungler in experience and levels, meaning he will very likely be stronger than me, reducing my general pressure, and also increasing the damage of his smite compared to mine. You are doing nothing but hindering your jungler when you do this.

If my laner takes a camp from me, I take a wave from him. If he takes a buff, I take three. It's sad when I get spam pinged and told to do a not so nice thing beginning with K for helping push a lane out after a gank, but if I spam ping somebody for taking my camps, I get "i need the farm more than you i scale".
