In low-middling skill level games, having a farming jungler is really not a detriment in the slightest. Let's be frank. At those levels, you're not going to get much out of a trilane at all. Players simply lack the coordination. Offlane solo can still work with a more dedicated offlaner, though, and so adding another farming core (however weak!) just tends to improve the team. Hell, based on how well some people last hit, a jungler like that can even farm harder than a laned core with a bit of practice. Some of you are above the line where your team can be expected to shut down any dumb jungler, and some of you are below. I've played in both kinds of games, thanks to the wonders of party matchmaking. It's not automatically a good or a bad thing. It all depends on the context in which it's played.

I feel like it's still a risk even in low bracket games. They're more often 2-1-2 rather than 1-1-3, and that means there's immediately more pressure on the jungler's carry than the enemy one.

In fact, if they have a strong offlane duo that crushes your carry while their safelane freefarms 2v1, the game can go really badly really quickly without them ever setting foot in your jungle. It just feels too much like a "well I hope none of these things happen or we're boned" option, no matter the skill level.

Except jungle lycan. He's always appropriate because screw that hero.

And a trilane won't particularly help with that, because players lack the coordination to be able to kill the 2 from level 1 onwards and the experience deficit will get really painful really quickly. The formula of "strong pair of heroes" is simply strong in that format regardless of whether or not there's a jungler.

It's honestly just as easy for the offlaner to be playing a hero that can go kind of crazy with just a bit of space afforded, like Timbersaw and Weaver, and end up winning the lane 1v2 thanks to the bonus experience. Lord knows I've managed it.

Every game that I've played recently where there was a jungler on my team ended in a one sided stomp against us because the enemy carry AND offlane got insanely fat.

Mostly people don't realise they have to zone out/punish the solo-offlaner until it's too late.

In my experience, having one trilane support who knows what they're doing is good enough to win the lane against a dual the vast majority of the time at 2k MMR. And by 'win', I mean all three trilane heroes end up with more experience than either dual lane hero.

Upgrade boots before getting midas so you can teleport to help your team more effectively.

Slahser is doing pretty cool guides on youtube. This is his safelane critshaker. He goes boots, basi, blink, treads, armlet, crits. Also his voice is just so calming it's kind of weirding me out. :D
