I have no problem forcing the flash, waiting and then re ganking for the kill. However, if you cut your jungle in order to do it, then I dont even think you can break even if you get the kill, let alone if they manage to escape again. After 4, and then especially after 6 it doesnt matter that much, but that first jungle clear is REALLY important imo.

want to prevent your solos from feeding as a jungle? gank earlier
giving your solo first blood is a great way to make sure they win their lane
try a different jungle route that allows you to gank at level 2 or 3 instead of clearing the whole jungle first. i do this CONSTANTLY at 1550+ and people still have no idea what to do when i come charging out of the jungle at level 2 instead of waiting til level 4 like 95% of people do. fail your gank? they expect you to head back into the jungle. instead, wait 8 seconds then gank again. you'll get the "WOW get a life" or "WOW takes 9 tries to kill me" in all-chat but hey a kill is a kill

*wait 8 seconds then fail the gank again and lose out lots of xp while the enemy jungler cleared your jungle and his, enjoy your lane.

depending on which jungler you are, the first gank likely "failed" due to them flashing, in which case the second one is easy
that just gets into the difference of ganking for a kill or ganking to make them blow summoners though

The first gank failed because he's bad, no flash needed. It's only natural the second gank will fail aswell.


y r u so mad tho

many of these weren't considered particularly good until those one step higher in the broken hierarchy were felled

what is the next evolution? I ask you gentlemen

my bet: philo stone + double doran's ring or shield

I think philo stone is secretly way overefficient

Philo's don't stop burst or high damage of any kind. They're good for laning, and then once teamfights start they are pretty worthless (unless you have an inventory full of them and can run in and out to take and deal damage). They aren't nearly as retarded and hog stacking in lane was on bulky champions.

Philo may be over efficient, but that's because hp and mana regen suck as stats. I would be very surprised if they did a large nerf to philo stone that would make people stop wanting it (more than say a total of 5 regen nerf total).


I would be surprised too. I think you're going to see this item a lot though, the reason regen stats have historically sucked so bad in lol is because the static stat items were extremely op.

It's not anywhere near as good as heart was of course but this item really does give a bit much for it's cost. The things holding it back are that it doesn't multiply with itself in any sense, and the range of heroes it can go on is relatively limited

Actually hotshot is #1 and he was lagging when the servers were lagging. But please share the method of removing lag when you roll the US server.

Jungle is definitely the easiest way to 'carry' 4 people in that you can go from all lanes losing to all lanes winning. If the lanes continue to win and push it doesn't matter because you get 8 kills or something, just get tanky because fed melee only works if you spend extra money on tank stuff since you will be focused more and can't rely on other teammates to soak as much damage.

Ganking at level 2/3 is definitely fine if you see someone getting greedy early and feeling safe, but its a very vicious line between sacrificing jungle speed for a gank when you wouldn't get the gank after 4 anyway and wasting too much time trying to gank. If you get a gank by burning summoner and coming back straight away, great, but make sure you farm hard after that. If you keep doing that you'll just be 2 levels behind and be useless.

#1 rule of the jungle is not to waste time. You see all the scrub junglers coming to gank because "this is when I gank" and just wait in a bush for 10 seconds then complain about everyone pushing and then is farming wolves when top lane is pushing to tower.

#1 problem of most solo lanes at suck elo is that they are unaware of how jungling actually works. I had an akali who kept whining for ganks against a vlad, yet refused to burn his pool or ghost. So ganking was basically a massive waste of time. Yet bottom was getting dived constantly, so picking up double kills was easily.

I made the judgement call to let top fail and concentrate on mid and bot. Mid went godlike and bot was farmed as well (something lie up 5-2), but then 1 bot dcd and we lost the game.

Jungles cant be everywhere. If you arent getting ganks, its cuz your opponent is ungankable or you suck too much to the point where I can tell that even if I waste my time trying to help, it isnt result in any meaningful positive impact.

How to win at 1400 ranked:

1)Pick poppy
2) Get inhib. (ezpz...you kill them so much that creeps autopush to inhib).
3) Let them get baron b/c your team are 1400 scrubs and don't realize you should not be bottom with half hp when baron is up.
4) Let them chase you for a full minute in a circle in their jungle to make up for the scrubs
5) flash away to safety after you burned 5 summoners
6) laugh as they just lost one of their nexus towers to super creeps
7) Finish the game.

Best. Guide. Ever.

Lol who the fuck are you jungling against?

If you spend that much time trying to gank, I'm going to have wriggles and pink waaaaay before you and I'm going to have half the map warded + a free drag if you aren't successful.

If it makes you feel better, I was at your elo and I dropped around the same distance too.

A lot of people in our bracket had no idea how the fuck to play ranged deeps with the new changes, and all the tanks forgot that keeping people off your carry's kinda important because your carry used to be renekton or some tanky shit anyways.

Give it a week and people might de-retard.
