A Jhin in my game said a lot.

So I was just playing a Normal Game on Summoners Rift ( Jungle, Master Yi) 05/14/2018. The game goes evenly until about level 4. During this time Bot Lane had a combined score of 1/6. Now yes this is mostly my fault, i know that, as i haven't ganked bot lane yet while their Xin Zhao has ganked Bot Lane three times. What's the best choice of words for a 0/3 Jhin? Start saying that their Jungler is better and i have to be a better Jungler. At first i just ignored it and i knew it was true during the 3-8 minute mark. Fast forward to around 10-12 minutes. I get three kills up top and mock him "Be a better Jungler" I quote.

He continues to tell me that i still have to "Be a better Jungler", during this argument he calls me a Peasant and that i should "get away" from him.

20 Minutes in, Jhin's 1/6. Fight in our blue side jungle (Red Team) I make a pretty awful flash trying to avoid damage; i die. Jhin takes note and tells me that my Flash was Awful. He almost gets killed by the Talon and then continues by calling me a Chigga. I did mute this guy at least 2 times until i wanted to hear something from him. He also did say something about my doing something with my mother as well.

Literally at the end destroying their Nexus turrets. Jhin says "ur welcome for carry yi", I reply "Your welcome too Jhin". Second nexus turret currently being destroyed. He says "For What?", "All you did was int". Nexus destroyed and he calls me a Peasant again.

Yeah i know, most of the things he said was true but can i just say without any criticism. Junglers cannot become "better" instantly by doing one action more frequently, Junglers adapt to the circumstance and try as much as they can to put it into their favour. Ok maybe that will backfire on me but i guess i'll get the last laugh.

Don't let it get to you, the dude had such a big ego that he was tripping over it. He cared more about putting you down than about actually helping you, and his claims weren't helpful at all.

The dude was an idiot. And you shouldn't have unmuted him OR exchanged flame with him.

On a lighter note though, if you'd like to talk about jungle and jungle pressure I could probably help with that.

Okay then, I'll mark this unread and come back to it when I have some free time to make a much longer comment. In the meantime check out Stonewall008 on youtube, he's got some good advice and analysis throughout his videos. Stick to more recent videos though, older ones might apply only to older versions of the jungle.

So for jungle there's a lot to master, but here are some of the things that I've found help the most.

Try and keep things warded so you can know if the enemy jungler does something. It helps to have a ward in or near their jungle so you can see when they move near it. If you can keep track of the enemy jungler (by knowing their route, and by knowing which lanes they are near, you can either warn your teammates that they are near or you can set up a countergank.

Also if you see the enemy jungler move into your jungle, you can decide whether you are strong enough to contest / fight them or if it's safer to do something else. Usually it's safest to just do something else, like invade their jungle on the opposite side of the map, or set up a gank on the opposite side of the map, rather than risk things going badly.

Practice kiting jungle camps to reduce the damage you take from them, it's harder for melee junglers, but even they can do it a little bit too. This helps you to stay healthier during your clear or allows you to take one more camp before recalling.

Check on each of your lanes as often as you can. While you're clearing camps, practice using the F1-F4 keys to switch your screen to lock on your teammates. You can return to your character again by pressing spacebar. By keeping closer tabs on things you will be able to more easily gauge when it is a good idea or a bad idea to gank for them.

Keep in mind that not every gank has to result in a kill. If you can force the opponent out, or apply pressure long enough to allow your ally to safely farm a fat minion wave, you will have accomplished something valuable for your team. Also forcing enemies to use summoner spells counts as a successful gank, because it forces them to waste their flashes, heals, barriers or exhausts. If they don't have those things, it takes a lot of pressure off of your ally and makes it easier to gank again in the future.

Repeat ganks are a great tactic. You go in, gank and they escape or burn summoner spells, then you leave and come back like 30 seconds later. At least in lower skill levels they won't expect this and they won't be prepared to fend off the second gank.

Anyway, those are just some pointers. There's probably more to learn but that's what I have found are some of the most useful tips.

For the F1-F4 practicing, it won't work on Mac, which i am on. If you can tell me an alternative or similar way can you tell me? Also thanks for the info!

Unfortunately I've never tried league on a mac, so I don't know the specifics. But there are probably options to rebind those shortcuts in the in-game keybindings menu, you might have to use other keys like the number keys or something, but it might work for you. Or you can do what I do and just use a mouse that has extra buttons, and bind things to those. It's up to you how you want to modify your bindings though.

If he already died 3 times to the enemy jungler, thats his own problem. No jungler is ever going to touch that lane to save it, its already dead.

Esp if the enemy was xin and you were yi? Thats on him.
