He taxes quite heavily with 31 minions so maybe his allies are underleveled and the enemy gets big bounties. The numbers are definitely slightly off but I think they're still fine. Just very hard. Also 3-0-2 is pretty fed. | ||

Rushing straight damage on a jungler is also generally a not very smart idea with the current meta. Even Triforce rushes have some measure of survivability to them with the extra hp and movespeed. Dcap offers nothing but damage. | ||

The only time i've ever seen a draven do poorly was in the first 2 days he was released. idk, mybe it's just me Draven passive gives him a free BF sword by like lvl 6 or something stupid every time he hits Q. You can outfarm and outplay him really hard and get a whole BF up on him, but if you try to fight he still hits like a truck. It's honestly ridiculous. Actually, adding on the bonus damage native to Q he gets his free BF by lvl 4 I think. Wtf. And once he gets crit he doesn't even need his Q to truck you. I'm so glad no one plays him. | ||

The issue is you're not going to go 3-0-2 every game or at least in a game where you don't completely outclass your opponents.

Dcap offers nothing but damage. LOL i said right above the screenshots on the last page i went 3-0-2 in one game and 2-0-3 in the other... you said it was impossible to get a dcap at 23 minutes. it would help if people actually read what i wrote instead of immediately going 'no fucking way'. its just common sense that if i dont get a few kills or assists im going to be fairly useless to my team and be behind in items by 20-25 minutes. i specifically said in these games what my k/d/a was at 23 minutes. a jungler who has made no impact by 20 minutes is a bad jungler, there are some games where things dont go my way and i either die or i dont get any kills or assists and you know what, i lose those games and i dont get a 23 minute dcap. my whole point was that a 23 min dcap is possible on a jungler. as for building damage items on a jungler. i usually tell my team what i am going to play and ask if either top or support can be tanky, and 9 times out of 10 someone will do that. if i am one of the last 2 picks and we have no tank thats when i play sejuani or skarner. i dont want to play diana as a tank. i like the idea of an ap burst being designed to be a jungler. that is a concept that appeals to me, and through the first few games of playing her it works just fine. | ||

If you go into a game with the plan of getting a dcap at 23 minutes, you're gonna have a bad time. It's probably a sign that dcap rush is a bad build when you always lose games where you don't get fed and get that 23 minute dcap. If you're getting fed then sure, a dcap could be very nice to help you snowball the game. But it shouldn't by any means by core. If you were merely stating that it's possible, then fine, yes it's possible. But practically anything's possible.It's possible to get an IE from the jungle in 23 minutes. Doesn't mean it's viable/good. also, making an impact on the game =/= fed. sometimes making an impact merely means making sure the enemy team has less farm than your team. that's it. Building damage on a jungler is not bad. Rushing damage on a jungler tends to be bad. There's a difference. | ||

A jungler who can't get 5 successful ganks in 20 minutes isn't necessarily a bad jungler. Good players are good at avoiding ganks man. Unless they going balls deep to gank, in which case there is no way they going to have anywhere near optimal jungle farms. Junglers can make huge impact and win lanes without killing enemy laners, being zoned because you know the enemy jangler camping your brush is an awful feeling. No one is telling you not to build damage on a jungler. If you playing leesin and you like 5-0-0, sure, build that BT and kill things. But, there is a reason no one just flat out rushes BT on junglers. | ||

Learn your lesson. A normal game (i.e. not a complete shit shoot) will only have ~2-3 kills TOTAL (for both sides, not each) early game unless someone fucks up hard or gets camped like a bitch. So no, you can not count on having a DC at 23 minutes in a normal game. When people stop playing like shit and actually watch out for Diana's semi-pathetic pre-6 ganks, you'll find you have less kills early on, and your lanes will not always let you have farm. | ||

I can't actually farm that normally because I'm too busy having to roam, duel the jungler, etc. I guess I should steal wraiths more often but does it help? I'm not a very good midplayer for what it's worth so maybe it's just my mechanics. Around 23 minutes you should have double dorans + sorcs + large rod + blasting rod. It's sorta 50/50 whether or not you have a dcap by then. | ||

Also I don't think kass farms well unless it's against another melee or he's zoning. | ||

Also true for many other big items like triforce, ie, etc. | ||
