How to double jungle, and what does it accomplish?

It seems like its just a waste of time really, besides in the LCS where they converge onto a single tower with bot lane and then take it and maybe drag if they're bot side.

In solo Q I've only seen it work where one of your two junglers basically lives in the other jungle. Probably a situational strategy though.

No, I mean like in the LCS where the top laner helps the jungler clear then takes tower, what else is there to accomplish?

Oh that! Sorry I misinterpreted.

Yeah it doesn't happen in my league (low gold) but I've seen a few diamond+ streams where they do it quite a bit. It's supposed to keep the jungler healthy and is mostly only done in solo q by a toplane with TP

In solo queue it takes a different function, the top laner having tp (always) and assisting with first two camps, tanking a large portion. If done properly, top laner avoids half of a unfriendly early lane matchup (Jax vs Gnar for example) gets level 2, and the jungler is also level 2 with near full health if done properly.

i thought double jungle was so the top laner could get a few extra pots to handle a losing matchup then again i'm only silver V so it's not like i can reliably assume things that require strategy

the point of double jungling is to keep your jungler healthy on their first clear, for you and the top laner to hit level 2 and the laner gets to base with enough gold that they can buy a ton of sustain. that's about it.

the whole double jungling then 3-4 man gangbang on top or bot tower is just an LCS thing.
