When your jungler gets invaded...

Ok here is a post for all laners. Do you know when you get camped in lane? Pretty frustrating right? It is very annoying. Well I'll tell you what. Junglers can have this happen to them too. When they ping that the enemy jungler is in your jungle, you should collapse and halp them. Because if you do so you have high chances to either get the kill, or at least prevent your jungler from dying and/or getting invaded repeatedly in the future, which prevents them from being able to help you.

Just like you would like the jungler to help you, help him when he is in need, it is better for everyone. Teamplay is key, don't ignore a jungler in need for 2 cs.

I was invited to a Blind Pick game (thought it was going to be Draft) and I got stuck with Jungle. I figure it'll be fine, I'm not the best there but I can do it. I'll even just do Fiddlesticks for fun. The enemy ended up having 3 junglers and they just took over my jungle by level 5. Kept asking my team to help me ward out jungle so they couldn't walk around freely but they refused to because they were having fun farming CS in their lane easily.

Obviously their 3 junglers got to gank whoever they wanted, whenever. Never doing Blind Pick again. Also served as a lesson to help prevent counter-jungling more, if at all possible. I don't ignore it normally but knowing the worst case scenario makes it more apparent later :3

Funnily enough, the most common response I get from junglers is that if my lane is getting camped I should buy wards and that its not their job to win my lane for me.

Which is true to an extent, but the same thing is true for jungle to an extent. If you're getting camped top lane and have no wards you're free gold, if you have a ward and back off, it's a free dragon. If you're getting camped and live instead of getting crushed the jungle will probably come top and counter at some point. If your jungle gets invaded, they can counter jungle the enemy jungle by avoiding them if there are wards (which if jungle wards and each lane wards you have all the entries covered, but they can't ward the whole jungle by themselves), but at some point they need lanes to collapse so it's not a constant problem and them getting zoned from their own jungle. The only problem is that for jungle the point this matters most at is the first invade. The first gank in lane isn't the issue, it's when they come 3 or 4 or 5 times and zone you from cs and drop you behind lane. For jungle it doesn't matter the 3rd or 4th time as much because they can just gank if they didn't die the first or second time, or beat the invade if the enemy was killed on first or second invade. However, if they die the first time it sets them behind and they don't have smite upgrade and clear/gank weaker so then enemy ganks on lane are stronger and all.

It's usually very rare that lanes respond to counterjungling, because it's so rare that many people don't have experience with it. They notice it late, and either think it will be over by the time they get there, or think that it's just not worth giving up cs and exp for a possible kill. They don't even think about the possibility of their jungler being flat out closed out of the game.
