Dear laners, even though you're not the lane to leash for your jungler

.....at least go & fking protect your jungler's alternate buff camps.

What I mean is, if you're top & your jungler went to Krugs which will be leash by bot lane, go protect the buff camp which is on the Gromp's side. Also vice-versa. Seriously, I have done countless invades as/with a jungler, and about 90% of these enemy jungle camps were unguarded. Sure there's a chance my team could rekt either you being top or bot laners, but please, make some effort.

I mean seriously, in almost every start of every matches, why do you do this?

  • Stays at base until 1:30 then leaves, even though you didn't puchase any further items.
  • Stays at own tower or hides in brush thinking you could get first blood.

^ The two attitudes above already tells me that you are the type who won't be very cooperative with the team. Stop doing that, and go protect your jungler's camps instead of doing nothing before the minion arrival time ticks.

#Hahah yes indeed same here. But guess you can't expect much of that in Bronze-Silver :/ I'm Gold recently and there are still players with that attitude around.

If they normally do ask them nicely, around 70% will go and check it for you until 1:50 or so. If tehya re still uncooperative, ask the mid to drop their trinket, by the time it is usuable for them it should be back. If everything else fall just drop the trinket yourself at 1:30. Sure you might not stop the invade with trinkets but at least you know your buff is gone and can go and do a counterinvade

If you ask nicely most people will infact move over to a brush in your jungle. However I've gotten to the point in my play that based on when and where enemy laners enter their lane at and from, I can tell if I've been invaded and can go take the enemies opposite buff after my first camp. This has worked in almost every single game they've tried invading right away.

If a match is underway and I see a laner or two sitting next to their towers or in a brush, I for the most part don't bother telling them to then go into the dark jungle where the enemy team could be waiting as 5 for that sole reason. Most teams will back out if no one shows up, or as I said it's easy enough to see when you've been invaded.

The only exceptions to this are Shaco, top Sion, or Nunu. Shaco and Nunu can solo the buff without ever giving away what they're doing, and top Sion can solo it while their jungler still gets their own two buffs. In these match ups I explain this fact to my team early on so they know and understand to get into a good position before the enemy team/champ has a chance to get into the darkness.

But yeah, other then those 3 specific champs you'll be able to spot an invade and react accordingly.
