Jungling XP and people taking camps

Alex Luu·12/9/2019, 12:18:17 AM·10 votes·9,069 views

as a jungler, these new xp changes hurt hard early/mid game when not only does the enemy jungler invade sometimes, but your own allies always take your camps too, I know you should give red and blue buffs to your mid and adc but when they take my other camps

(mid takes raptors early and mid game)

(top takes gromp)

(adc takes krugs before backing)

what about us junglers?

I dont mind them taking scuttle cause it gives vision and I should of been there before any1 else could.

tax minions

Tax minions. If people are going to take cs whenever it is available to them anywhere, then so am I. You're backing without pushing the wave? I'll take that. You died and there is a wave under your tower? Thanks. Everyone is in bot lane and top is pushed to our side? Don't mind if I do. The one, and only, time I EVER concede exp and gold is if there is a laner ACTUALLY carrying my game on my team for once. If I am 6/0/10 and there is a 0/7/2 laners taking my jungle camps instead of killing the cs under the tower in top lane then they wont be missing it.

You need 100 gold for an item? Alt + click it into chat, I get it. But don't start killing a camp I am 2 feet away from when you see me going to it and then get mad when I clear your minion wave to make up for it when you are not even pulling your weight anyway.

I just log out of a game where my laners take my camps. If they want to be selfish, they can play the game on their own then.

Ive noticed this too, and it tends to happen when you're behind (for whatever reason) and your team decides "they can use the rss better" Unfortunately if youre already behind all it does is screw you over harder. Best advice i can give in those situations is leech xp or split (splitting is especially viable if you have item 3077 ), if theres a free lane splitting will give you a nice xp/gold bump and mid/lategame its always nice to have your waves pushing onto the enemy half of the map.

Push lanes without an ally whenever you have a chance (unless an ally carry is already on the way to that lane), doing this has generally been able to keep me closer to on par with solo laners unless they get ahead. Also remember other than your buffs Gromp and Krugs have the most Xp/gold in them for you so if you can take them off spawn you'll be in a solid spot. Also I realize its not always doable (sometimes crab is top and your toplaner is dead and the enemy top would come to river), but scuttles didnt get their xp reduced so taking them from the enemy jg will give a nice leg up on gold and xp

I tried, I adapted to the meta very quickly, even found some success but the game is frustrating and unforgiving for junglers. I used to endure the trash talk from laners and the gap in resources because I just liked playing the macro game and being in control of the whole map but nowadays I'm just always starved and never in real control of anything. I get ahead if the enemy laners are dumb but in 5 minutes I can turn into a minion if my laners are too. One mistake (mind you, even if you're not the one making the mistake) and you're out of the game.

I'm outta here, I'm changing role after 9 years until they fix this. #boycottjungle

This is why I bring smite as support Ivern and steal enemy camps. Junglers are too sensitive to literally anything that messes with them, then it's GG.

As I stated, if I am next to it and walking towards it, you are a jerk for taking it from me (ESPECIALLY if you wait for me to do the work and then last hit it). If I am on the other side of the map, the respawn is plenty fast enough for it to come back when my pathing would take me there.

It is not only jungle xp with their r%%%%%ed change for the sake of change they threw the whole level balance away.
