I guess with the current style of junglers barely farming anything and always ganking stuff, it can work. But the question you should ask yourself in that situation is "Why am i not playing J4 instead?"

Cause I don't have J4! Yeah he's probably better though lol. Leona is way cooler, however...

Leona jungle works, but it has a few issues. Her clear speed drops off very quickly because all her abilities are balanced around her passive, and she's a fairly bad duelist for similar reasons. However, her ganks are scary as hell.
You basically have to play her like Shaco. Gank constantly and only take camps on your way to ganking somewhere else.

Are farming junglers still effective in the "always gank, never farm" jungle meta?

Ask Meteos.
The trick seems to be to play a ganking jungler then don't gank, but have your lanes always pretend you are ganking.

Actually it seems like the "always gank, never farm" thing is a bit out the window. Pretty common to see junglers racking up A LOT more cs than before. I know when I play Shyv I normally get gold near on par with lanes with minimal ganking.
I think the best thing now is someone that can powerfarm AND gank heavily, and modify what % of each for each game.
I play weird shit in the jungle however.

I wouldn't say that's the meta at all. It seems it's more the farm then if you see a 100% kill go for that otherwise farm some more. Instead of trying to force the gank it's about looking for the opening while maximising farm.

Having a farmed jungler can mean another threat in teamfight. I love Xin Zhao for his ganks, but his dmg does fall off a bit. Someone like udyr has insane clear speed pretty much all game long. His gank is kind of weaker though.
Having a jungler with terrible clear time but insane ganks can work, but if you fail to snowball, you usually will be far behind your opponents when come the time of teamfights.
|
The jungle meta isn't so much "always gank, never not gank" as it is "always be useful". Popular junglers can gank early, counter-gank, farm, and fulfill a useful role late game even if they don't do well. Ward bypass and dive potential are big pluses.

Alright so I know there's already a thread for this, but to be completely honest I'd rather give to people I know to some degree than one of 200 5-count posters in the giveaway thread. SOOOOO
Thanks to GhandiEagle I have a Riot Blitz and Arcade Hec skin to give away for any region except EUNE/NA/OCE as I gave those away to TLer friends of mine (and KR apparently doesn't work). I'm just going to post them here so first come first serve. At least let the thread know if you got them, ok?  Entirely up to you guys if you want to take both for a region or not; I got them in a package and gave them away as a package so the choice is yours. + Show Spoiler + Blitz - WWGUT2PYXFGET7 Hec - WWU74QEEDY43XM

I used them both on EUW, thanks Wave. Going to remove myself from Ghandi's giveaway since it wouldn't be fair.

Are there any kind of cs benchmarks to go by for say, solo mid? Like 90 cs by 10 minutes or something? I know it will probably vary by champion and by game, but just curious to see how much I need to improve in general. Or maybe how many creeps spawn by 10 minutes?
