I got three things to tell you as a jungler main, as in me and all others alike:
You're not in the fking LCS.
Get the fuk out of my camps the fuk. All I ask is guard my buffs, not taking my raptor camps......
And don't fking blame me for not ganking your lane earlier when you got ganked & gave them first blood. Thanks a lot for stealing that extra EXP that could have made me level 3 sooner.
Are you talking about at level 1?
That's a real top lane strategy. You hit level 2 off of the camp. You recall, you buy an extra item or get pots/wards, and then teleport to lane.
If you do it and your lane opponent doesn't, you go to lane with a slight item lead and a significant xp lead and can proceed to bully non-stop (makes the ward option worthwhile since you'll probably be ganked first).
If your opponent doesn't: well either you can do it and be even, or not do it and face the problem above. Your only edge is you have teleport... a lot of good that will do you.
As a jungler:
Let them know your clear path. I start gromp>wolves>blue>red, so I let them know I want wolves but they can take Raptors or Krugs. If they want to do the strategy they should know exactly what camps they can handle at level 1 (I had a Kha'zix die to Krugs and whine that it was my fault because I wouldn't let him do wolves, honestly not my problem Jungler gets first dibs). Camps respawn quickly enough that there's no way you should be clearing all 5 other camps before his camp respawns. If it is the case, you're probably clearing quite healthily and should either go for a gank or at least provide vision with a crab kill.
You can still ask for a ward at your other buff. The top laner can wait at the buff until 1:50 and throw down a ward there or near the jungle entrance area. They don't want an invade either, as most tops will get REALLY low health starting a camp (it actually makes me wonder why more people don't invade late and get a free kill on the top laner).
You get level 3 off of 3 camps, so it's irrelevant if they take one that's not your first 3. And laners will always blame the jungler for not ganking. That's a legitimate problem but it has nothing to do with taking an early camp - people are just jerks.
I'm a jungle main and I think it's fine, he will be ahead in his lane, the other lamer will push and it's an easy gank. As long as they don't take one in my path it's fine with me
With current respawn times it is practically impossible to clear all camps at level 1 before the first ones spawn. Even if both top AND ADC take a camp, you still most likely won't run out. So stop whining.
Everyone looks at Jungle as a role differently. I played a game recently where, as a main Support, My ADC was Tristana. Watching Pros, LCS, LPL, etc on a regular basis, I thought giving golems lvl 1 for Tristana would be a nice one up over bot at lvl 1. Naturally I asked the jungler if it was Ok and he said go for it. I'll be honest we started to think it was a bad idea after wards when we got to our Morg/Jinx poke lane and Tris was almost at half health as Was I, But looking at the builds later on and how fed my Tristana ended up getting I'd say the Exp differential and getting 3 before their ADC seemed to make some sort of impact. Not recommended for all though.
enjoy losing every game in plat+ because your top laner gets level 2 cheesed then snowballed on, also that tp smite shyvana is going to be taking more than 1 of your camps after she dumpsters your laner and there is nothing you can do about it
Someone clearly doesn't know how the game works anymore :P
How about not making these circle jerk threads for upvotes? It's legit strategy if you get behind because you can't deal with krugs getting taken you deserve to lose.
If i do it i always ask the jungler if they are ok with it. If they say no, i say ok ill just go normal top start then and that's just the end of the discussion. If they say yes i say thanks and do the camp start. It is always best to ask the jungler if they're ok with it.
