No, you still finish Vlad's first. Vlad's contributes more to pushes, and gives you more flexibility in jungling (in particular, allowing you to do the Ancient's easily, which is important) which makes up for the fact that you jungle slower. You still need both to Rosh anyway.

Having the RoR regen to keep you up in the jungle for a few minutes also saves you a bit of consumables money.

EDIT: Actually, I'm fairly certain that Vlad's doesn't even necessarily jungle slower than Medallion, because without Vlad's you can't sustainably farm separate camps from your wolves (Vlad's means you don't take damage doing camps without your wolves, and that your wolves will be able to do an extra camp because they can lifesteal when they're doing 1 camp within 900 range of you). At the point where you finish either, the limiting factor is no longer how fast it takes for you to kill camps, but the time you spend walking around between them.


Your first priority should be positioning for the shockwave, which means that you're often going to have to just surround the big Satyr and not worry about the small one. Making sure that his Shockwave only hits 1 person (doable if you position yourself and your wolves correctly) does more to decrease your damage taken than killing the small Satyr does.


While these camps are not ideal, practically speaking you will often have to do them because of warding/spawn blocking/whatever.

I have plenty of hours logged in, on both accounts, and don't have a key. Like I said the first account was an original Valve generated key prior to any invites being given out to 'randoms' and the other is a friend invite which came from one of those accounts. The first account has received and given 2 keys in the past, the second account has never had any keys

Both currently have no extra keys, even after restarting Steam and stuff. It isn't too big of a deal to me but obviously it would be nicer to have the extra invites as opposed to not.

It says you're supposed to give them to your friends, and since you never queue alone maybe Valve thinks all your friends already have keys
