the position is easy to scout / predict -> if you know the position of the ward you don't gank over the ward

Isn't it self-explanatory?


Oh and Iceborn Gauntlet is such a bullshit item on ranged champions.

I don't think it's self explanatory because I still don't fully understand what you mean.

Ok sure. But how does that in any way derive from this?

Position of what, the ward? Or the jungler/ganking path? What does that have to do with what follows after the -> arrow? How does this sqaure with your original statement of ganking/camping even when it's warded being beneficial? I ES CONFUSED

It still seems to contradict your original post, doesn't it? If it doesn't then I give up on thinking

Jungling has always been a sub conscience thing for me. I just follow 'the feels'. Never really been a big fan of over analyzing jungling theory.

I think the analytics is the interesting part of it. Their jungler was top 2 minutes ago, where is he now? Countergank or steal his red? That's the fun part. The ganking is just the icing.

nk inc told me he does the same thing with all aspects of jungling, including smiting (and including ezreal phase shifting, smite-stealing dragons). going too in-depth on the numbers will fuck your game up, just play 4000 jungle games and get a feel for what to do at what time. be fluid and adaptable and know what every champ does and you'll be a good jungler

As a side note, the leashing dynamics on the chinese server are completely different.

The bot lane is always the bitch, and always gives a smiteless no matter the side you're on. You either help with wolves and then blue, or on blue side, you help do wraiths (I've started asking them for help for golems instead of wraiths though), and do a smiteless red leash. I haven't had a lane for a long time where I haven't missed the first one (or in a lot of cases two) creeps in bot lane because I'm helping to do smiteless.

Top and mid do wraiths or wolves, and top usually gets the gold/exp, so that they hit lvl 2 faster.

This is even to the extent that I've started red on junglers like amumu who I would start blue buff on NA if I'm blue side, because top lane rages if I don't give them their wolves camp lvl 1. I was pretty miffed at losing my blue side advantage bot lane for a while, but it's just the way the meta is here.

Is lane swapping becoming common in soloQ at higher ranks?

That sounds fair enough. It's not really a net loss since you're only moving xp rather than losing it but I can accept an argument on jungle xp being more important than lane xp.

Purple side can:
Have less xp on bot lane
Have less xp on jungler
Have jungler start red and bot start wolves (this is under my belief that bot lanes can fight wolves easily which was contested earlier)

I just want to show that purple side is making one of these decisions. It isn't automatically a losing bot lane.


1. Purple Disadvantage
2. Purple Disadvantage
3. Purple Disadvantage because of: 1. Wolves Randomness. 2. Toplane 1v1 is better to gank at lvl 3 than the botlane 2v2

Actually just try farming and not ganking AT ALL until you hit lvl6 and you'll be surprised just how effective it is. It's not likely to be ideal, but it's probably closer to ideal than ganking over wards is.


im so fucking ahead of the curve

I wish there was a way to play at diamond level to see if I can keep up with the high level players. Also it would be really good practice right? Like foreigners in SC2 going to korea for the Dragon Ball Z training style lol.

It takes so long though, that's the problem I win more than I lose, but I don't completely dominate every game enough to get an insane win ratio in order to rank up quickly.

It's very hard to keep up with the upper level diamonds if you're below them. I'm plat I atm, probably can make it to diamond V/IV in time given that I'm going +25/-18 but if I duoQ with diamonds and get Q'd against diamond I's, I'll generally lose lane, slowly and steadily regardless of whether or not the lane is in my favour or not. There is actually a huge difference between lower diamond and high diamond that's very difficult to see in streams.

If you're close in skill to them, it's pretty good for learning but if you're massively outskilled, getting stomped into the ground teaches nothing other than they're straight up better than you.
