My all too frequent experience with Krugs

You can put a tanky champion close to the two krugs on the side: it will keep them distracted while the rest of the team focuses and kills the other krug first.

I usually econ as much as I can to krugs

Level for 5 unites

Line three units in the top row on the right

The right-most krug will target one of the two on the right while the two Krugs on the left gather on the left-most guy

Then my backline are two Vaynes I keep just for proccing the passive faster.

Alternatively graves with red buff or Garen/Darius/etc. with Morellos

Afterwards I continue econning.

I know how to position against them. Just every now and again I roll a weak team that probably could have won if I had one item drop before, but as a consequence I lose and still have no items.

It's just a frustrating but at the same time funny occurance that happens every so often. :)

I actually wonder if there is a way to position against the krugs so the furthest Krug will be killed first..

lmao

Blitzcrank.

Haha that happens as well. I've gotten to raptors a few times with no drops. Feelsbadman.

In the current meta.

Level up to 4 after third creep round

Level up to 5 round before first Carousel, unless you already have a couple of two star units.

Level up to 6 after second Carousel

Econ to wolves.

If you got what you need, Econ to next Carousel then level to 7, if you don't roll to get what you need and level to 7 at Raptors.

The only time you wouldn't do this is when you're high rolling (already have several two star units that you can 3 star) in which case you don't level at all until you have your units.

With the meta being as incredibly aggressive as it is, losing at Krugs shouldn't happen as you'll have 5 units, or enough two stars to do it.

In case anyone is wondering why leveling is so aggressive at the moment

You level for several reasons:

1. Availability of stronger units sooner, with Morgana, Kennen, Volibear and Aatrox being hotly contested, you want to get them coming up as soon as you can.

2. Getting the core of your composition as soon as possible, synergies help a lot, you'll have core units you're wanting and you'll want them as soon as possible.

3. Player damage mitigation, more units on the field means less chance of losing by large margins and less chance of taking a lot of early damage that can be hard to recover from.

I'm seeing players even in Plat trying to use the econ strategy only to get eliminated before wolves, right now you shouldn't be trying to econ early unless you're doing high roll and that's entirely dependent on getting several 2 star units before the end of the initial creep waves. Econ only comes in now when you have your composition core and are at a place where you can mitigate/win fights more often than not.

do you go gunslingers/pirates early without items to lose to krugs?

Pirates&gunslingers actually demolish krugs if you have something like a silver Darius to hold aggro while Lucian and Trist does their work with pyke lurking about.

Not neccessarily true, some AoE units can kill the Krug group before they can heal. is actually really really good at Krugs as her Execute kicks in at 65%, so if you got wittling their hp down, Eve will execute and kill them all without the HP reset or need for Red Buff.
