To all my bronze and Silver junglers out there....and other lanes if you will......
When behind, especially in the jungle, I strongly advise building some armor or mr to counter the fed person on the other team. Take for instance the
above. No reason he should be 2-6, I think he was, and jumping into a fed
,
, and
. He seemed so angry at the end when I was trying to advise him nicely for his next game that if behind he should build a bit of resistance.
has enough early game damage that a completed jungle item can suffice for one resistance item. Shoot, as you can see, I, the
, built
as soon as I saw the
kill both
and
. Got to keep situational awareness about ya. What's worse is he kept building damage even though he ended up being 3-10 I think he was? He was worthless in teamfights because a couple of
autos and he was gone, and that was if noone else touched him. I am thankful for this win but I feel that we may have some junglers in the silver and bronze elo who do not understand how a resistance item in place of a damage item can drastically change the game.
TL;DR Pay attention to the game and buy items accordingly. Don't buy the same thing every time. Be opening to people willing to legitimately give you a helping hand.
or
, or even still further a
from killing not only me but you as well. He ganked often. I ganked often. The problem is I had resistances to both sustain damage and be able to retreat if we had a failed gank. Where as he had to all in everything and hope and pray that we misclicked something. As for dragon control.....he couldn't. Bot snowballed so hard and mid kept
busy that I literally never would have had to
early on. What is 15 armor? It is the difference between "Hey I just got a kill and managed to escape" versus" oh shit, I just got gangbanged and fed even more." Itemization falls into the role of a jungle. Without situational awareness and the ability to adjust to that, you have nothing.
in the jungle. He is my best. But I have screwed up simple ganks that would have been a walk in the park in other games I played. The difference is that I built the resistance and came back to right the wrong. HE came back to right the wrong. He just came with more damage but not as much as he gave to the adc. Which in turn, snowballs harder. His biggest downfall was the failure to build resistance. Which if memory serves,
both end up doing that anyways
(me playing her) vs
, I just play safe and build right by picking up something like QSS (amazing item) and/or zhonyas. You can fix a lot of problems with itemization, but the other part of that is knowing how to use those items, and making the right calls AFTER you made mistakes or have bad match-ups or something.
