so you think you won't win but you can possibly not lose a lane vs jiji?

Jungling is extremely difficult (compared to laning). And laners don't understand this in the slightest. I make it a point to tell everyone in no uncertain terms that if they push past the river without the river (and preferably the tri-brush as well) warded I will never gank their lane so they better know how to fucking last hit properly.

So far it works pretty well.

What's worse is generally speaking you want to pass the kill gold to the laner so he can keep an advantage in lane and win that lane all the harder. This puts the ganking jungler even farther behind since not only is he wasting time by attempting the gank he loses out on a relatively significant amount of farm as well. We don't have minions which pile up if we don't kill them. If we don't kill them they stop spawning.

No he didn't say that. He said he wouldn't die. He admitted to not having near the same cs as him and losing in terms of farm is losing a lane.

I KNOW I wouldnt beat jiji in lane. I am just as sure that I could minimize the amount of damage I would take in lane. I mean, it isnt like jiji ends every solo q game having gone 6-0 in lane, even with the recent reset in elo making him play vs 1500 elo players occasionally. I mean, at the very least opening boots +5 with movespeed quints on annie lets you stay in range of exp and last hit a little bit without exposing yourself to too much damage.

Oh and ya, I would lose the lane sure. But I wouldnt get dominated (ie be down 30 cs AND give up 4 kills). Realistically I would just be down probably 30 cs and a half a level to a level behind.

if they push past river, hide in bush and gank when it pushes back. There's nothing in the game whatsoever that encourages conceding kills to solos as the jungler. You should much rather wanna see all three lanes pushed to the enemy side rather than all three lanes pushed to your side at any time. Telling your solos not to extend past river as a general rule of thumb is pretty dumb.

i don't know what would possibly make you think you wouldn't get dominated in lane in nearly all mid matchups.

I think you would very quickly find yourself behind by about 50+ CS and within 15 minutes you would be behind by 100 while allowing Jiji to get basically every single creep. You may or may not be able to stave off death but if you do you would also be behind 2-3 levels and find yourself at or below your duo lane's levels.

Because the only way to die in lane in this game is to fuck up. If you actively focus on never fucking up, you wont die.

In an ap vs ap mid, you realistically arent looking at the ability to kill someone else until about level 4 for the more aggressive champs, 6 for ones like annie, ori, and malz. So thats 4 levels I would be safe for, and grabbing last hits. After that it just becomes a matter of staying in exp range and last hitting what I can, keeping the lane as close to tower as possible. No way at any point would I end up more than a level behind simply because I would have to be zoned from too many waves.

I mean, if it was against ez or urgot, ya sure I would be done for. Otherwise I dont think it would be all that hard to limit the damage.

You can deffo win lane against Smash though. Just let him get you low, then hang around at tower with a stun and ignite. The cycle of life and death continues. He will dive. And you will nail him.

:>

Edit:
And if you're lucky he'll take it so personally that he'll start crushing you in lane and then die to a jungle gank at ~4:20 :D

Pretty sure Jiji would just get tons of levels and exp ahead and then just burst you at turret and flash away. Taking other lanes and junglers out of the equation, it's just like the first blood tournament on Solomid. Do you honestly think you can hold your own and not get dominated against one of the best AP mid players in the world? That's just insulting to the people who do this as a profession.

Jungle is the hardest role in the game. Hell, I could lane against Jiji solo mid and not die. I may not get anywhere near the same cs as him, but I know enough to not die.

Jungling? If I had to go against OddOne I would be underleveled, have no where near the same gank presence, and probably lose jungle control after doing blue.

The thing people forget about jungling is that you have to juggle the need of 3 lanes AND yourself. Constant ganking doesnt accomplish anything and only sets you back. Not ganking the right opportunities just ends in the jungle and the lanes failing miserably. And as much as the lane feels like they know the best times to gank, they really dont. A lane only sees the opponent cuz thats all they have to look at. They rarely look at the minimap to see jungle position, health, and mana, yet expect the jungle to be able to know those stats for every champ in the game. Great jungles have a decent idea of those stats. The rest of us dont. Dont expect your 1200 jungle to play like Kobe.



I agree, except i find support to have some more in-direct way of finding a difference. As a jungler, you can feel it by being underleveled, loss of buffs and perhaps losing advantage of dragon (maybe even be behind in terms of ganks, but that's another story). As support, you can fucking feel it, when your team depends on you to ward stuff, but they just get erased like super quickly because of the enemy support winning so hard on map control. Meh i might just be shitting words out dunno.

twodown what will happen is at lv1 when you go up to last hit your creep jiji will land skill shot on you and hit his creep while you miss your creep and misclick him while taking damage from his creeps attack you. At lv2 jiji will land another skillshot+ ignite, you flash away too late letting jiji auto you twice leading to first blood. Afterward you will get zoned out of exp range and at lv3 when you've finally had enough and decide to lasthit a ranged creep with barely any health jiji lands another skillshot, autos you while orb walking and kill you again. None of what you just said makes any sense. It's amusing people think they can not get shit from lv1 vs people 1k elo higher. The difference in skill will show up the moment you get to lane.

The thread is making me angry, don't understand how people can be so deluded.

I think you forgot about the point where I forget how to left click and cant even leave spawn. And how I cant actually select any champion abilities. And dont know how to buy anything from the store. So really its a miracle that I can even load up the game given how inept I am at it.

I mean, just look at your post. You assume, at level 1, that I already fuck up. And that I am to stupid to realize that by clicking him I take creep agro.

Look. Its simple. Is jiji better than me? Yes. If I try to play normally, will he kill me and crush me in lane? Yes.

If I play defensively, only grab what last hits I can get, and keep the lane just off the tower will I die? No. Will I end up behind in CS? Yes. Will I end up behind in level? Yes, but not by that much simply because it is nearly impossible to be more than a level behind post 6.

Jiji is one of the best ap carry players not because he GETS kills, but because he avoids deaths while getting his farm. Ill say it again: YOU CANNOT KILL ANYONE IN LANE IN THIS GAME UNLESS THEY MAKE A MISTAKE. THERE IS NO BEING OUTPLAYED IN TERMS OF KILLS AND DEATHS. There are only the mistakes you make by being too greedy and allowing yourself to be punished. I can limit my mistakes to the point where I will not die, but I will have to give up farm to do ti. Jiji, regi, salce can all limit mistakes to the point where they will not die and do NOT have to give up farm to do it. THAT is what makes them good at what they do. Nothing else.

your playing "defensive" means you'll pass on opportunities to harass which means you will get harassed and eventually get zoned and as soon as you're at a slight disadvantage, which should be around lv1, a good player will start trading with you, during which you won't be able to trade back and will either be forced back or to tower hug which leads you to miss more cs and experience which makes you more likely to make a mistake while trying to stay even. By the time you make your first trip back you will most likely never be able to autoattack a creep in lane again unless you ult it. Laning works by snowballing, and an aggressive player will press every advantage to the point he can shit on you completely.

lol@lasthitting safely for 4 levels.

I really don't know what to say if you think differently. I guess in your world a 1400 ap carry can "play safe" and "stay even" vs a 2400 ap carry.
