No it's not, it weakens your lanes and sets you up for massive failure. It allows the offlane much more exp than he would normally get, and it gives the opposing supports (if they have 2) the opportunity to roam and camp your mid. Jungling almost never works out in pubs because pubs are won almost exclusively from the laning phase. If you have a good laning phase, you win your pubs a good portion of the time (I'd wager anywhere from 70-80%). This isn't like competitive play where people are smart enough to farm the jungle and dodge fights as a team; what will end up happening is that you're jungling and dodging fights, but your team gets caught, or tries to take bad fights 4v5, etc.


There needs to be serious changes to how denying/exp/neutrals work before jungling becomes viable again. Before, it used to be viable to just jungle because you'd outexp/outgold the opposing supports so badly that it would be worth it to sacrafice some laning power. Now with changes to smoke, exp, shared gold, etc. you can get way more gold as a support player, making a jungler that much less viable in pub play. You rarely see junglers even ganking junglers like Chen/Enchant/Enigma for this very reason now adays in competitive play. For whatever reason, people just haven't figured out that it's terrible for pubs.

wtf does all that have to do with being safe in the laning phase

Typical pub with jungler. AFK for 6 minutes while two other lanes get lost/enemy carry gets easy 1v1 lane. Enemy offlane is so overfed that they just walk into jungle and make you cry.

Doom jungle is quite strong in the hands of a good player--Centaur/Ursa + MS advantage (from Boots and Scorched Earth) or Troll net are both strong ganking skills. It's just that because of how mana intensive they are, you get fucked if you ever fail a gank, making it really unforgiving. So most pub players just AFK farm because they feel better about being useless with farm than being useless with no farm.

Can I just say that people who jungle on a non-ganking jungler make me want to kill myself? That shit is so infuriating it is unreal.

These people are the worst, since they don't die because they're fucking AFK in the jungle with their half an Armlet at 10 minutes and no boots while our lanes are getting roamed on because we're 4v5 then they have the gall to flame people for feeding and having no farm

Fortunately when I know I'm gonna be up against this shit I can just pick BH and make their jungler cry

Is Phase Boots really that much better than Treads for Furion?

My current pub build:

Basilius -> Midas -> Treads -> Necro3 -> Maelstrom -> Scythe -> Daedalus

I get called noob half the time they see treads on my Furion. 4200+ MMR.

well yeah I know, though in my current MMR, hardly an adjustment that is needed.

The most I'd do is get wards/smoke, etc. for the team while a significant item is needed on the other supports, like Mek or Blink.
