Suddenly the guy stop bitching about going E first, and it makes sense level 1 you're not gonna be spamming volley anyway so why not and if volley spam is THAT important to you then you can get volley levels 2/3 -.- | ||

WW and fiddle i know for sure doesnt even need smite to jungle (but it makes it faster for sure, you trade the element of surprise if you take smite though, cos the opponent will know you're jungling, this isnt a problem for ww cos opponents will think you're jungling no matter what) | ||

Now you're ahead on HP, they are less likely to dive you, by taking volley first, you up the risk for your opponent if they want to try to get you. E early on is important as well, I usually do something lik WEWQWR against melee and WEWEWR against range. | ||

Is it simply not viable without a stacked runepage/masteries or is it merely unskilled players? There are a ton of ways to jungle, even at an lvl 1 account. But there are many important points at jungling, apart from being able to jungle itself: - How fast do you jungle? (most important) - How low does your HP get?(Pretty important too, champs like olaf are just at 2 hits from being killed at some points, the perfect target for a gank). - Do you need all of the HP pots? Or can you get a ward for map control? A full runed WW can: - Jungle faster than anyone else, and go to lanes to gank earlier. - He's always at full hp. - He can take a ward with his initial 475g. On the other hand, I would rather have amumu than WW jungling, just because he's better at mid-late game. WW needs to end the game fast by ganking/taking towers down before he starts to get weak. | ||

But it's not entirely impossible. Also depends on the enemy and his item choice (enemies with DBlade usually push the lane a bit because they need the heal and also lasthit minions with higher HP) I don't see why you would not use Volley. It's your only chance to deal damage without taking more damage yourself against most enemies. And "going for the kill" pretty much means "calling for a gank". (Almost?) everyone outDPSs Ashe 1v1 during the laning phase. Her range advantage is nullified by her bad attack animation and superior 1v1 abilites of the enemy, so you won't get the enemy to significantly lower HP than you have (wanna attack me? Arcane Shift > Essence Flux > Mystic Shot > Autoattack lololol). On September 20 2010 06:37 HazMat wrote: Depends on the champion and route.

Yi is very runebook/luck dependent if you try to jungle effectively. I thought that too. Then I had a game where our WW started at Small Golems and died shortly after. Not sure what he did, maybe Lizard? I mean what else could kill him? He then proceeded to blame his new runepage and decided that he was unable to farm the jungle so he went to my 1v2 lane until I finally got him to jungle after he hit level 3... He also said that he can't gank before level 6. Fun times. | ||

I wouldn't recommend it at all right now He feasted on the tank-heavy FotM because it was almost impossible to lose 1v1. I bemoaned every rare game that an opponent picked Tristana, because she was a hero that could beat me 1v1 as the game went on. No more. Too many people are picking up ranged DPS these days, be it MF, Kog, Kayle, Twitch, Trist, what have you, and they all wreck Kassadin. I think his reign of dominance is coming closer to an end, so be aware that you're walking into a hero that's being "hard-countered" more and more if you choose to go down that path. | ||

A full runed WW can: - Jungle faster than anyone else, and go to lanes to gank earlier. - He's always at full hp. - He can take a ward with his initial 475g. On the other hand, I would rather have amumu than WW jungling, just because he's better at mid-late game. WW needs to end the game fast by ganking/taking towers down before he starts to get weak WW's jungling is a hit or miss. Just like every other jungler, if you can come out of the ganking phase winning, then you get a huge adv. If you don't do well, you have a huge disadvantage. WW's late game isn't dented by the champions' potential at all though. He still has strong bases, and can get a lunge CC on a squishy. Granted, he is item dependant, but if you were successful early game, that's not a problem. By the way, people whom were looking into buying Kassadin: I wouldn't recommend it at all right now He feasted on the tank-heavy FotM because it was almost impossible to lose 1v1. I bemoaned every rare game that an opponent picked Tristana, because she was a hero that could beat me 1v1 as the game went on. No more.

I think his reign of dominance is coming closer to an end, so be aware that you're walking into a hero that's being "hard-countered" more and more if you choose to go down that path. 1v1? Kassadin's potential lies in the fact that he can ult in, nuke one person to death, or almost to death, flash out, rinse and repeat. His "hard" counter is getting his ass chain disabled. Kassadin can't die. | ||

His hard counter is getting beat down while his spells are on CD, which actual ranged heroes (not gimpy low-range crap like Ezreal) can and will do. | ||

Flash out. Have golem on you for cd reduction. Build yourself a bit tanky. Have exhaust lying around so if you're "1v1" against a ranged carry, you can exhaust, kite, and hit them with another around of spells. | ||
