PSA: It is not reportable to jungle in urf.

Just like it's ok to do non meta strategies in normal modes, it is ok to jungle in urf. In fact, I would say it is more efficient because your team gets more resources. So stop yelling at everyone to "report" the jungler.

I would not call being pushed 2v1 with almost no cooldown abilties an enjoyable experience.

Jungling presents no risk to the jg if the enemy set up is 2-1-2, but it is hell for the 1v2 lane.

With the nature of random champ select, not all champ can 1v2 at all and even if they can, not every player wants to opt for 1v2.

Before deciding to jg, you will want to check to make sure your team is fine with it, most especially the 1v2 guy.

If your team is okay with having jg, then there would be no "report jungler" now would it.

The problem comes from you forcing your way into jungle and leave the odd man 1v2 to face the consequence of your action. If your team is not comfortable with having a jungle, then dont jungle. Just like the non-meta stuffs.

While i agree it is not punishable/reportable offense, forcing your way to play onto 4 people who do not want to deal with 2-1-2 in urf will cause some hard feelings and flames that will eventually becomes punishable/reportable.

TL:DR - make sure your team is fine with having a jungle in urf. Just like non meta strategies in normal, if you force it on the team that do not want to play with it, prepare to face the consequences.

There's a weight of circumstance when it comes to it though. Players tilt over actual jungling. Others tilt over just seeing that you use smite instead of what they want or have. While it's not reportable, it is a frustrating state given that the lane allocation meta is 2-1-2. It's rare to find a unique circumstance (or Ivern) in which you would need to match jungle for jungle.

You don't need smite at all in urf jungle.

I've done a roaming junglers a couple of times in urf and every time I get hell fed because people tunnel vision like crazy in urf.

Uh huh...and I just came out of a game where I was ridiculed in champ select for carrying smite, then opted myself into a Leona vs Karthus match with said smite and never died to the Karthus at all. When pushed in with not much to do, I had camps to siphon health and gold off of. I didn't even upgrade the item. Sat with item 1039 for bonus exp vs monsters which some players completely disregard.

Here's the reality. I prefer being able to farm over having a 1 minute at a time situational combat spell that may or may not backfire. I am not a living highlight reel. So don't tell me "You don't need Smite at all." I don't need flash.

No... what I mean is you don't NEED smite. Dear God you have 80% CDR.

There isn't a single champion in the game that can't WRECK the jungle with 80% cdr.

He'll I could kill dragon solo in less than 10 seconds on most champs.

Also f flash it's teleport/exhaust where it's at.

I rather have an item on a 15 second CD that closes gaps, ensures better escape hope, or reduces dmg/reveals vision.

Exhaust is just as situational as Flash and expends a similar amount of time. If you're really saying Exhaust is fine and Smite is not, then I really don't want to continue this discussion because then you're just being petty to what you prefer to play.

Situational? Exhaust reduces damage dealt by 40% AND slows.

Making by far the best summoner in urf.

Who cares if Evelyn hits you 14 times in 1 second she dealt 40% less damage for every single attack.

Less damage dealt is less healing done.

Less healing is less survivability.

By all means keep picking smite. Keep picking terrible jungle items even though pure AP or pure AD weapons are better.

Keep taking the summoner to help you kill minions that you can already kill in 3 seconds.

It's your account.

All I know is if EVERYONE says your wrong... maybe... just maybe you are.

Smite is pretty useful, as jungle item speeds up clears a lot and while smite has lower cd then normal, spamming it early makes clear speed much better.

Oh please. If you jungle in URF, you're a huge jerk and douchebag.

It's the same as the Singed smite support case, if your team despises it, don't do it.

So if you don't mind people raging and spending their time being emotional babies in chat, go ahead and jungle! There really is nothing punishable about it, but be prepared for the chaos in chat that it will probably create.

I think there needs to be a balance when you choose to jungle because one lane is going to be severely hurt with a 2v1. I'd suggest if you do want to jungle, talk it out in pre-game because if the solo laner doesn't have a champ that can wave clear and escape, then you're gonna have 1 really upset teammate.

Taking smite and jungling with Kindred in URF is fun as hell. I generally stick around lane for a bit and then take off for marks as they appear. She gets strong af, and being able to buy Bloodrazer and red smite is a huge bonus. Kindred doesn't need flash because Q has a .5s CD in her W.
