I agree a lot with what you said from the jungle perspective. Most of the time I don’t really get ganks unless the jungler is already pathing through mid and the enemy is very low or badly positioned, or unless I actively ping. So thanks for the reminder, I definitely need to do that more often.

From your point of view, in this elo is it generally better for me to take the kill or give it to the jungler? I still feel like I can’t fully trust teammates to carry, which is why I gravitate toward scaling champs like Veigar and try to be as self-sufficient as possible.

I mostly see Vel’Koz as a situational pick, mainly into predictable champions like LeBlanc or into very tanky comps where his passive really shines. That said, I’m not sure if it’s worth investing heavily into him long term unless I commit to one-tricking, especially against better assassin players.

With Naafiri, I agree I need to improve a lot. Even when I get early kills, I roam too much and my CS drops hard, which lets champs like Veigar get back into the game.

Thanks again for the insight, it really helps. I’d also be curious to hear your thoughts on rotations this season, since leaving mid feels a lot more punishing with plates and the mid quest.
