Jungle

GFresh11··2 votes·422 views

Why do people hate jungle so much?? I almost always pick fill because I don't care what position I get, but about 80% of the time I get jungle it's about 15% for support 3% for bottom and about 1% each for top and mid. But it just seems that people hate jungle so much, what is it about this role that people despise?

Because junglers arent responsible for a single lane, they are held responsible for 4 of them ( counting jungle as a solo lane). And if anything goes wrong in any lane , its because you weren't there to help , right at the moment they needed you.

Mid has to watch above and below, top below, and bot above. But you have to watch everything, all the time , and be right where you are needed at any given moment .

The backlash you will get from ganking top when bot is getting hit by mid and the other jungler ( despite your mid just staying in lane and farming, without making any progress on the turret , or even bothering to ping mia ) is too much for a lot of folk .

Hell, you cant even stop to get the red buff that will aid in your gank , because the second you are on that side of the map, your team will see it , and through no input of your own, decide that you must be coming to gank, and try (and fail) to cheese the enemy. Then its a storm of pings and shittalk .

Its just not worth it to a lot of folk.

Another side is the rune changes . Without thier old setups, a fair amount of people arent sure what to take to jungle anymore , and just decide against it.

Honestly it's not that hard if you play something like Warwick, that is capable of succeeding in early ganks.

Usually when you gank and don't get a kill, it's the jungler's fault. If you gank and you take the kill still your fault . Imo best way to jungle is either to afk or gank a lot and let the laners to take the kills so they can be happy.

Because, as a new player, the game literally tells you nothing about playing Jungle. I've watched a ton of videos on how to jungle and tried playing some practice games with random junglers to try to work on Jungle clear times. You know what? I was still awful even by that low bar of Jungling. Why play a role when I know I'm probably going to cost our team matches in the first 10 games I play it. Especially when I'm a support player and therefore never get autofilled anyway
