bad leashs

Pykel··1 votes·314 views

so i main jungle and i like to start the main buff and instantly go invade my enemies main buff since by the time i get there they and the buff are low, once every so often (usually when my bot is duo) i get a really bad leash, im talking like my adc autos once and my support autos twice. and they always give the same excuse that they will lsoe lane if they give a better leash, what i dont get is 1. if you give 4 autos you can make it to lane and get all the cs 2. since i do this almost every game ive had decent leashes and my bot always does fine. 3. what would my gromp leash be then? 2 autos? i get that the meta now is gromp or krugs start but its really frustrating that people cant adapt and think its an insta loss if they give a real leash. remember back in the day when everyone started blue and bots made it to lane just fine. or if we go real back in teh day when mids would auto it once since leashing was different, ah those were the days.

I feel your pain. I usually start gromp/krugs when I try that level two invade because, if I start a buff, sometimes my enemy jungler has already cleared their buff by the time I get there.

Still, leashing blue/red means you're going to take 5 extra seconds to get back to lane, which means about 3-4 less autos. As is, leashing Krugs/Gromp means you get to lane just as the first minion is about to die. Leashing red/blue all the way means a significant disadvantage because you will miss 2-3 cs and lose any possibility of level two advantage.

im not saying they should give me a smiteless, 4 autos means i can get to the enemy buff right before it dies assuming they arent playing something like shyvana and they get back and dont miss any cs. too many bot laners are used to starting krugs gromp that they dont know this though. every time i leash a blue or red i do this and always get back right when the first minion is one hit from death

If I'm top I hit gromp for you once or twice then go to lane, because 8 out of 10 games the jungler never comes top. And that's not every game or every person but my personal experiances shape my personal game play. I feel like I get the jungler that says fuck Top lane, I'm gonna go gank for bot lane because of dragon and even tho mid is behind , like , really behind, I'm gonna gank for him anyway.

And the enemy jungler always seems to gank top once or twice to put me behind then wreck the rest of my team while our jungler stacks devourer or ganks for lanes that are behind.

If I'm adc or support however you get an award winning leash from me no matter what, because I find that giving really good leashes on Krugs/Red or Gromp/Blue puts your jungler in a really good mood and more likely to gank for you more effectively to show their appreciation. And if they don't? That's cool because you're GONNA give me a TY, and that can be all it takes to put our bot lane in a positive mentality to start with.

If I'm mid I'll sit in a bush and ward 1 side of our jungle entrance and get to lane, gank or no gank I feel mid is the new top lane in terms if isolation and being independant of your allies.
