I guess the question is when are you using the skirmisher? Usually you should be timing your gank when you have the numbers advantage, and if that's the case then it's more important to land the CC for the burst, than it is to do more damage. The # of scenarios that pop up where skirmisher is more useful in a game than stalker's is a much less than vice versa. With exception of stuff that synergies well with skirmishers, like WW. I think that's why we tend to see stalker's quite a bit more often than skirmisher.

+ Show Spoiler +
the real reason is cuz you can smite people to death for the ultimate BM.

I already kill people with Stalker's Blade Smite for my ultimate BM.


I just don't see Skirmishers being better than Stalkers on 98% of the current "viable" jungle pool. The ones that would benefit the most from it are ones who gain something from the DoT and damage reduction. In my eyes it's basically only Aatrox, Sejuani, and Warwick.

So then I'm guessing no one gets poachers either? I was playing a game with friends last night. We're low elo. The Shaco had poachers and just ran around my jungle. Every few minutes I had to be like "guys don't worry about it, I'm just telling you where he is, stay in lane and get your cs." I think it would work better in an uncoordinated yolo queue game where everyone's not on skype.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

idk I think if anyone buys it it's for the mini exaust, I actually would say that it specifically does not favor auto attack based heros because the dot is reset with subsequent hits, that and cutlass was always a rush item on Aatrox anyway, so yea I don't think it's good on him either.

however I think it would be useful for him in the situation that it is your job to prevent a kat from ulting, I actually think it's good on a lot of junglers if it comes down to you to be the one to get it done. sometimes the threat of kat is can you get to her without giving up a reset and this could help, and slows aren't super effective against kat anyway

idk just throwing out an idea, Diamond seems to like it, not sure why though

Poachers is worst thing in game ever existed since double malady.
There was cool idea on reddit to give poachers either movement speed in enemy jungle or at least, ward, but nay.

Stalkers/trailblazer are just way superior and don't require half of team to cover your ass all the time.

To be fair, as long as your team has some decent vision management, Poachers can be nice to take a couple camps since you can swap it out. Nothing I'd sit on unless your team gets so far ahead that they can't stop you from poaching anyway. Even then it's probably a win-more though.

Poacher's would be pretty good if the jungle had way lower health like in s4, so you could pop it, and steal camps in like 2 seconds, but now since it takes a while to do camps in the first few clears, it's not very good, especially since if you invade unsuccessfully you have to deal with another Jungler's smite who gives combat stats.

Depends on your warding. Deep wards fuck over soloq junglers so hard.

why leona?

edit: oh, sona skin, got it


i'm still convinced that jungle ad malzahar is actually a thing. you can clear your blue, wolves, red before their jungle even makes it to your red from their first two camps, and if they go straight to red from their first camp you either see it coming with ward and steal their other buff or you just take your third camp and solo dragon anyways

Sure, but then you're still playing AD Malzahar.

So I tried Skirmishirs on Sejuani in a game.

Shits completely useless, never getting it again. Stalkers 1000x better.

So, it seems like the ladder system just took a dump on literally everybody's mmr for no reason. Rank at your own risk.

Nah, I went 5/2/5, but I missed at least 4 kills because I didn't have a smite that slowed people.

I remember just a couple days ago "game bashing without proof" was something people were getting warned for in off topic.

What's this about?
