Dear Jungler,

It's your most hated lane, mid lane!

You know, that lane with all the stupidly mobile champions like Zed and LeBlanc that you'll never catch in a gank?

Yeah. That lane.

So I was wondering, considering you're Rek'Sai, if you could give me second blue, as you probably won't need it. I'm going 0/1/1, due to a gank by the enemy vi earlier, and Orianna is a pretty mana hungry champion! It'd help out a lot. I could push, roam, harass, and farm much easier with it, putting me back into the game, and in a position to help the team.

Thanks, Orianna

Rek'Sai: no fak u.

In all honesty, as a ADC / Mid / Jungle main, just give your damn mid the blue buff. If he's going 0/3/0, then I understand why you don't want to, and you probably shouldn't, but if he's like 0/2/1, and he's trying his hardest as a Veigar against a Zed but he simply can't compete because he doesn't have mana, show him some mercy. That CDR or mana could VERY EASILY result in a kill for your mid laner, bringing them back up to 1/2/1, which is a fairly good KDA if you ask me. As a mid laner myself, I would say (if I'm a mana hungry champion) that I win at least 30% more of my lanes if I get second blue, ESPECIALLY if I'm behind to begin with. If I'm ahead, great. Even more reason to give me the blue. I can now shove them in, harass them off the CS, roam around due to my lane being shoved in, and contribute more in a fight due to the CDR. If you're playing someone like Amumu and I'm someone like Xerath, who has inbuilt mana sustain, then go ahead and take the blue - at least I understand the difficulties of jungling. But if you're Elise, or Nidalee, who doesn't use mana in half your abilities, and I'm stuck under tower as LeBlanc or Talon, show me some mercy - help me out. A blue helps a lot more than a failed gank.

Sincerely, Your understanding mid laner

I only give mid a blue if they are mana hungry, doing at least decent, and if they ask nicely. I don't give it to them if they don't say thanks in some way. After all, it is my blue buff, and I decide who gets it.

I totally agree. BUT. Call me what you will, but if you don't ask for blue, i'm not giving it to you. ESPECIALLY not if you've been a ass to me the entire game. Like there was this one time, where this Tryn was being a dick the entire game, and then tries to take red from me. I smite it.

Tryndamere Zac wtf

Zac remember when you called me a f@king c###? Yeah, me too.

moral of the story is dont treat your jungle like shit and then expect buffs :\

What most junglers don't do is pick to counter the mid laner. If you pick to counter the mid laner and then you, the mid laner, pick to counter the bot lane, what's possible to do is get the mid lane fed and then you can both roam and successfully kill the bot lane!

For example, in your scenario, I would take Rengar with Ghost and rush Boots. I would never fail to get in range before Zed shadowed out, and it would result in a successful kill through the double bola trick. Then, we could roam bottom lane.

If I ping blue, I'm fighting blue. If you don't come and take it after two pings and I've killed both of the little minions, I'm taking it. If you complain thirty seconds later about how you need a blue buff, you are an idiot. If I don't ping it, I will probably smite it if you show up(Amumu).

That all being said, I play a lot of Zac, so you can usually take my second blue. and my third. and fourth. Just don't let the enemy take it.
