What is up with lux. People throw the shield like it does damage. I have had people run up to me toss their baton in my face and run away.

Lux shield should totally apply her passive if it hits an enemy

The utility of a second pull/knockback is appealing, but you get all of that with one rank in E. Further ranks do not reduce the cooldown or improve the pull/knockback, they only increase the damage and the slow (by 5% per rank, which is extremely negligible). A Locket level shield every 10-16 seconds is much, much more useful.

I've been doing a lot of arranged play and one thing that's gotten way better is my ability to process information. I'm no longer panic spamming abilities in teamfights or when getting ganked etc. I have a much better sense of where players are on the map and what abilities they've used/have left/what potential they have.

However while I can win with my ranked team now, my SoloQ feels like its consistently getting worse. Is this because I'm too used to relying on my teammates? What assumptions should I constantly be checking for so I don't make good decisions that are in fact the incorrect choice. Its really frustrating seeing the teamfight play out and just watching my teammates misposition or screw up.

Except that people have to be on top of the lantern to get the shield and most people have a tendency to run away from the lantern unless you throw it right on top of them. The problem I with lantern is no one seems to know what it does or try to get the shield if it didnt land on them. Part of this may be because its not openly apparent where its sitting in a teamfight since the particles for it are rather minimal even in colorblind mode

1400 ranked team, 1200 elo soloq. Main jungle.

Most of the problems I have are in early game and then the transition into midgame teamfights. People die randomly for no reason and I'm not sure where I should be putting my time in either in camping their lane or snowballing another lane or just farming up and waiting for midgame. In the transition period when teams are just starting to haphazardly group I feel like I can never leave my team because waves of farm build up on the sidelanes and no one farms it but if I go over to farm it they just die :S

If we do manage to group up then I feel like I have a really strong impact since I can usually confidently initiate when we're in good positions, but up to that point I'm not sure I'm having the right impact on the game.

I also play mostly initiating/supportish junglers like Hecarim rather than dueling beasts like Lee.

I've been seeing some do red elixir start + ward + pot. What are your thoughts on this?

Trading: When against other melee champions, you just walk up to them and start the beatings. When W fades or their cooldowns are close to coming back up you E away. Because of W, your innately high auto-damage, the damage from E, and your healing from Q you should have won the trade. Keep spamming Q to heal up as you last-hit, and repeat the trade until you beat your opponent.

When against ranged champions you have to be a little more clever. You either have to run straight at them with W ready to slow them if they start trying to kite, or E to close the gap. Both options are substantially better if you can use the bushes as either an attack or escape vector.

With the setup I documented in T.R.O.L.L.S. I ran a Cloth Armor + 5 Pot Darius out of potions without much issue. (SEE: http://www.twitch.tv/montegomerylol/b/362115117 @2:10:00)

Teamfighting: You're not really a bruiser or tank, so leave the tanking to the professionals whenever possible. You're just as happy beating on whoever is chasing your ranged AD as you are going after theirs, so who you target is going to depend on who you can reach safely. You may have a get out of death free ticket in the form of your ultimate, but those 5 seconds can pass in a hurry.

A lot of your teamfighting depends on game circumstances. If you team is really behind, as mine was, you can't really play as boldly as I tried to.

Farming: This is similar to most top lanes. If you have a big advantage over your opponent and a key item which makes you a lethal threat to others, start shoving waves and roaming/stealing jungle. If you've taken top turret, shove waves and roam. Just don't miss creep build-ups.


I'm not really an expert on this yet as top is my worst lane, but that's how I've made it work so far.

Not words to live by but mokuza made a list of certain things to ponder as a Jungler, especially in solo q.

Because you play supporting Junglers, you really have to make your ganks count. Don't waste too much time camping a lane if it doesn't net you a guarantee kill. Pressuring a lane is nice but not at the cost of your own development.



You have to be very mechanically sound to make use of Red Elixir start. I've seen it a few times on Zed solo lanes for example. It's a major investment since the Elixir is on a timer. You are expected to bully the lane, hard, and end up somewhere like 10-20 ahead in CS. If you get a kill, it's pretty much worth the Elixir opening. If you don't get a kill and only get 0-10 CS advantage, this is not the opening for you.
