Question for high rank Junglers

Kikirino··1 votes·593 views

How do you recover from getting invaded at level 2? If I get invaded I just go downhill fast. Even if I don't die I will generally have to blow flash and then I am down a summoner + a buff camp and just cannot recover. This is by far my weakest point as a jungler and would love to have advice on how to improve here.

^ thats horrible advice depending on the first camp. if its crugs you smite it for the stun if its gromp you do it for the poison so umm yeah bad advice.

thats a misleading comment. u should always ask your laners to ward the jungle entrances so if they try to invade you dip out b4 u can die/waste sums. and i personally never smite right away when getting a leash i rather wait cuz some people leave right after u smite

That's the problem with the level 2 invade. It's after you clear the first camp, ie after the trinket wards die. You personally can put a ward up, but you still lose the camp if he shows up, prompting the scenario of being behind. Save your smite->no problem, he most likely doesn't have his, and you can dipset.

im not trying to be a dick in any shape or form. but if this is your main, your trying to give advice to 2 plat players which doesnt sound right to me. and even if he saved his smite if he gets invaded smite wount stop him from dieing. 2nd if you are in the fear of being invaded late. best thing to do is to start with the buff than the 2nd camp.

That works too, if you don't need a leash.

well first off it really depends on what type of jungler you play and what type of buff you lose. so if your a fiddles sticks and you lose blue jungling is going to be a pain. however if your something like a reksai and your blue gets invaded and you lose it dont worry too much. just go to the other side of your jungle and start camp after camp. the exp you get scales and you can catch up in levels. just reach the level you need to get to to be relevant and start helping your lane. losing 1 buff and flash is never something that will stop your game completely. if you notice they might invade again. ward your jungle entrances or ask your laners too. and than go on an jungle the other side of the jungle from the one they try to invade. and if you have good enough vision on the enemy you can go and steal their jungle while they try to steal yours.

hope that helps =] but not every game is perfect. i have 5 games in a row when im a totaly carrying jungle and than that one game im totaly shut down and useless. it happens good luck dude.
