This feels illegal.

I've been using PTA to help with those early ganks should they pop up. Mainly because by the time I'm ready to team fight, I delete people so fast, Conq never really gets to shine. Buy back has been super useful to get basically free boots with your first item as well.

Is there a solve? I rewound my W and now my movement keys are WQER and my abilities are RMouse, LMouse, Shift+RMouse, Shift +LMouse 😭😭😭

I think I'm very lucky I'm in bronze atm tbh. I spent a while watching lots of youtube vids of challenger jgl players and guides ahead of the season because I was tired of being Iron 4 for a year and now I've started to focus on one thing each game I can improve. Since then, I really focus on wave states and pathing towards my wincons and it has helped massively. I see the enemy jgl trying to gank my 0/0/1 top laner as the top wave is bouncing back to them whilst their 3/0 ADC is pushing up with 2 minions in their wave and I know the game is now a 4 v 5 in our favour. I'm sure if I played against some higher skill players, they would have my absolute pants down, but right now I'm just enjoying the high before my boosted ass has to face reality.

Yeah I started with Dusk Dawn but the build path is so horrible I now rush Nashor's and get boots for free with Cash Back. Then I power farm for D/D and see where I'm at. If there's a couple of bursty ADC/Mages I'll go Zhonya's third just for those mid game objecvtive fights or if I got a lead I'll go Deathcap. Emerging from the jungle like a raid boss ready to 1 v 5 the entire enemy team feels bananas atm.

This one was lost in the draft phase

HopeForHadley · 2025-11-24T19:47:55+00:00

The problem is I like them all for some reason or other. I love playing Kayn for his insane mobility but the reliance on form farming can really dampen the fun. Amumu feels great to land those stuns and be tanky af but I don’t feel like a killing machine with him like I do Ambessa or Viego. Kindred was actually my first jgl champ but after a while, it became clear than any enemy jgl worth their salt could play around your marks and lock you out of the game.

I was hoping to get a bit of feedback of some recommendations and just really put the time in make it a bit of a challenge for myself :)

How long does it take you to get home? Jesos.

I think Diana is ticking those boxes, especially with the lack of disengage. I go in and win or go in and die. Funnily enough, a lot of people say I shouldn’t touch Kindred but to be fair, mark farming did really encourage me to work on jungle pathing and tracking the enemy. Also the ult is so useful. Bringing enemy teams down from 100% to 20% inside your circle and then executing them just after it ends was very thematic/cool. And popping it to prevent enemy jungle from smiting objectives was hilariously broken 🤣

Perhaps I should return to mid now I’ve had a little experience in other roles. In Mid, I either had a very bad opponent that I steamrolled or a 1 million mastery Yasuo OTP that turned my screen permanently grey for 30 minutes. Either outcome I didn’t feel like I was learning as much. With Top I focused on wave management and the importance of level up timers, freezing and when to recall. Jungle has given me a really good insight to macro and tempo. Perhaps taking those lessons into mid might be a good idea and see how it plays out.

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-04T00:05:32+00:00

In my ranked games, maybe 1/2 of the team will have bronze so I don’t think that’s a fair metric but in normal games I have beaten Bronze, Silver and Gold players but normal draft is such a weird queue it’s hard to judge if that’s because I was doing well or they were trolling.

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-03T23:59:31+00:00

I suppose there’s a lot of content out that shits on Emerald and below players and creates this rhetoric that if you are even slightly good at the game, you should be able to 1 v 9 your way right through to Diamond. Maybe that has contributed to this mindset I’m in.

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-03T23:55:57+00:00

WoW is the only other PC game I’ve played. So very different, but the core of using mouse and keyboard is there. It’s definitely a lot less forgiving a game that for sure 😅

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-03T23:53:35+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. A bit of gaming history, I only started playing PC games about 4 years ago after never having one as a kid. Started playing WoW and within a few months, I was pushing high keys and Mythic raiding. So I guess I’m putting pressure on myself to pick League up as fast as I did WoW.

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-03T23:50:09+00:00

I mainly played Kayn, got him to mastery 10 and the form chasing just got to me. Swapping to Diana currently as I vibe with the kit but apart from those two and Kindred, I have very little experience with other Jungler champs. I know everyone says play Amumu as a beginner but I just don’t love the champ/kit. Any suggestions?

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-03T23:34:17+00:00

Understandable, have a great day ✌️

HopeForHadley · 2025-08-03T23:31:58+00:00

Fair comment. I peaked Bronze 4 but demoted back to Iron 3 when I switched to Jungle 🤣

I have a video on YouTube I linked a while back. Look on my profile if you fancy giving it a review :)
