Top/Jungle Duo

So I was thinking, most people in duo queue are playing ADC/Support because they have more chemistry and they have communication with each other. That is true, but something that is underrated in duo queue, is Top/Jungle. Early game is a really important time for the top lane and jungle to have good communication. Having good strategy and communication may just get you first blood in almost every game you play. This technique takes advantage of people who are: Low elo Junglers People who are new at jungle Any weak early game jungler

What me and my friend do, is he either gets doran's blade, dorans ring or doran's shield (depending on the champion) and a green ward item 2044 , And I start hunters machete and health potions.

At the start I check if they are starting red buff side (because I always start blue buff side). After that I get my friend (the top lane) to ward their red buff and get a hard leash. once I see that their jungler is taking their red, the top lane leaves the lane (from the space next to his turret, NOT THE RIVER) and goes around to behind the enemy laner. After that, the jungler joins the top lane in a level 2 (maybe 3) gank on the enemy laner.

Now you may be asking, well then what is the point of warding red? Well if you are playing on the blue side, you know that the enemy jungle is taking red and is close to top lane, but will be too low on health (or just be to bad of an early game ganker) to counter gank, thus getting you a free kill on top lane. If you are playing on the red team however, you will know that there jungler is all the way near bottom lane, thus unable to conter gank, leaving you two to gank the enemy top lane.

Thank you for reading my first ever article and I am very open to constructive criticism!Teemo

as a jungler id rather duo with my mid laner i think he seems more usefull to thinking of the fact that mid tower is most defnetly the most importand tower and he wil easier be able to roam so if i camp mid lane and take his tower fast we will sort of have 2 junglers ?

Jungler + Any other role duo is just pretty good overall because you can help your duo out no matter what lane they are. Second place in my opinion is ADC + Support for obvious reasons Mid + Jungle is probably the best combo. You can coordinate with each other for a double gank bot or top and end up snowballing your entire team.
