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.

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.
