I'd say he'd be worse off then most junglers having first blue stolen but not by the huge margin he used to be where it was basically GG because amumu was now useless for 15 minutes. You can back and buy SS+pots after first clear and be relatively OK. *may or may not be coming from a silv...gold 5 scrub! | ||

With the exp changes and spirit stones changes i think he's still pretty legit.

either a play is good or bad, if its good more people should do it but they dont, in reality people dont invade because its nearly always a waste of time and energy unless you have blitz and shit | ||

But seriously, I was using W as I initiated a fight, and not really healing much from it. Difference between using it at start of fight and using it when your team starts hitting things is huuuge. Like holy shit. Also, I got a rather unlucky spree of AD passenger's(sure as he'll weren't carries) before that hard fed other AD. | ||

Say you make a bet for 10 dollars. After making it, you realize there is (almost) no chance of winning, but backing off means you lose all 10 dollars, then you night as well stick with it on the outside chance that you win. | ||

Costs 3 to dodge, costs me around 10-13 to lose. Even if I'm only right on ~25% of my dodges, I come out even + less aggravation. | ||
