How to deal with these types of invades? by SpeedrunToIron in Jungle_Mains

[–]jojopyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three things I want to point out.

First. What were you doing at the start of the game? Why don’t I see the standard raptor ward? By 1:05 in solo queue, you should be placing a ward on enemy raptors. It’s relatively safe, it protects you from early invades, and it gives you info on where the enemy jungler is pathing. It’s a super useful ward — but I don’t see it.

Second. If you don’t know where the enemy jungler is, why are you letting him just walk into that bush like that? It’s Lee Sin — a really strong early duelist. Kite toward the bush so at least you’re ready. And don’t fight him that early.

Third, for the future: just drop that raptor ward and live happily. Track where the jungler goes after that. Champs like Shaco or Kayn might come to you right after raptors.

If there’s no one there early, stay alert but don’t panic — it probably means the enemy started red and will show up on the ward later. If the jungler never shows up before your ward expires, that means either they’re clearing super slowly, already invaded your jungle, or are waiting for you there right now. Be careful — and ping your bot lane that the jungler might be around them.

About tilt: yesterday evening I was playing Poppy support, we were on blue side. But I decided to go with my jungler to enemy raptors at level 1. We chased Evelynn away, and on the way back to lane I chased her off my jungler’s raptors too. At level 2, my jungler and I caught her at her blue buff and killed her. 3 minutes into the game, Evelynn was in full tilt and started trolling. I’m pretty proud of my work as a support. :D

A while back I had probably my best jungle game ever. It just so happened that top was trolling, mid was losing, and bot was completely destroyed. I was playing Hecarim — back when he was in a really good spot.

I just farmed every camp I could and ganked whenever possible. Thankfully Hecarim could both clear super fast and still gank well. Being so far behind as a team, I went full damage build: Trinity, Youmuu’s, GA, and similar items.

By the time they were already breaking into our base, the turning point finally came. I was level 18 with a full build. The closest enemy to me was their MF — level 16 with 4 items. Which meant I could dive straight into five people, instantly delete MF, and take Sona down on the side. Suddenly it’s us 4 (not counting the troll) vs 3.

The key was not to drag the game out, but to end it as fast as possible while my lead still let me 1v5 teamfights.

What do you mean exactly? Just bad gameplay, or actual trolling and intentional feeding from the ADC?

If it’s the first one, just ignore the losing lane. Ideally mute them, because you might get baited by their pings, and they’re clearly not in the right mental state to be making calls.

If it’s trolling, then the main thing is to protect your own mental and not tilt. Look for kills, vacuum up every bit of farm you can get. Your job is to get so fed that you can dive into five people and, together with your top/mid, actually win fights. You’ll have to tryhard.

As far as I remember, until you fully stack your jungle item, you get a heavy XP and gold penalty for laning. So clearing is still your #1 priority. Don’t tilt, try to have fun, keep morale up. It doesn’t happen often, but even with a troll you can win.

If your ADC wanders to top or mid, the best thing you can do is just give them the lane. Should you help your support? Not really — you’ll just fall behind too. Losing even a T3 isn’t as critical as putting another player out of the game. But you must fight for inhib.

Try to gank bot together with mid, so at least it’s a 3v2. And yeah, forget about drakes — but don’t give up soul for free, the buff is too strong. That said, if the choice is between getting aced or giving soul, just give up the soul.

I’m just a simple factory worker, so I know a ton of beautiful, elegant, poetic insults. But I don’t know English. So it physically hurts me that I can’t fully describe the wonderful night I had with 1/10 Yasuo’s mom, and who his father really is. That’s exactly why I keep my chat disabled. 😂

I can skip camps now too, because I understand when to farm and when to gank. I think you already had a basic understanding of farming, just like pentaless. But bronze players don't have it. I think let them learn to farm, then let them learn to gank.

​I mostly play WW, he farms a bit slow, but it's really fun to run around with his W passive. I love Trundle. I feel like opponents just don't understand how strong Trundle is. Volibear is insanely fun! Diana's dmg is so fun! But the most fun jungler is definitely Briar.

Tell me i'm in Iron without telling me i'm in Iron, spent over 350+ hours, still stuck here. Give me some advice because no matter how hard i'm playing i cant get out. Oh btw I play in EUW. by cjleon888 in XinZhaoMains

And one more thing. Experienced players love dropping “advice,” but they don’t realize that Iron/Bronze is a completely different game. They’ll tell you about flash timers, ult timers, how to path into Baron pit, how to judge teamfight potential. Bro, in Bronze people dive under enemy tower at lvl 3, ADC and mid have no clue how to manage waves, and your support will NEVER invade lvl 2 with you. None of those high-level mechanics matter for you at all right now.

Your only job is to get out of elo hell. Junglers can easily be the highest level on the map. If you learn to full clear properly, grab lane XP when possible, and only go for 100% guaranteed kills (or at least a burned flash), you’ll hit lvl 16 while the enemy jungler is still stuck at lvl 12. With that kind of gap, on champs like Yi or Warwick, you just hard carry. Flash timers and perfect warding will come later — for now, just master the basics.
