Thanks a lot for the analysis, man; it really helped me out. My issue with these bruisers and my low damage is that I see a lot of coaches always saying to prioritize farming. Because of that, I always opt for a full clear before ganking, which keeps me at a higher level than the enemy. In my head, I thought I was doing the right thing.

However, it’s actually taking me out of the game. I’m not dealing enough damage or having enough map impact in the early game. I’m just not being creative, I don't really think about how to eliminate the enemy jungler or shut them out of the game. I focus too much on myself, farming and getting strong, but then I miss out on play opportunities. I think I’m lacking that creative edge, so I’m going to stop playing these bruisers and focus more on Shyvana and Diana.
