Please use the gameplay patch discussion thread for discussing item builds, champion kits, and other things related to gameplay. Please use this thread for discussion other things related to the game, such as the number of bans in ranked soloq, ranked teams, and competitive; speculation on game design and champion builds; toxicity in soloq; competitive integrity and sandbox mode; or how 739 is a robot designed to do nothing but Liquibet. We have a few other setups we might consider experimenting with and nothing is set in stone. Feel free to discuss in Website Feedback. |

Oh I thought you died doing your first buff. But yea krugs->red->blue ? Why not gromp then blue (or are you ganking immediately after blue? Why not gank after red if you're doing that?

I prob should have tried in retrospect, they had Nasus and Orianna so our Irelia and Kennen swapped, prob could have burnt a bunch of Orianna's health and her flash. I don't recall jungling Wukong more than 2-3 times before that and it was a casual game with friends so I picked what was available on my smurf and winged it. I went Krugs because we were the blue team, so I started the jungle on the red side with the duo lane.

"Physically can't do stuff like" doesn't sound like "you can do it but it's harder in actual game" to me at all. Plus even that's bullshit, 100 ping is less than dota's built in delay (unless it got changed, last info I can find on that is from 2013). You physically cannot insec, because a proper insec results in you W in less than 100 ms after your Q gets you into range of the target and you can't W until the server registers your ward. So I actually tried to and couldn't do it, guess ping won this round.

Doesn't smiting gromp vs blue depend largely on what kind of leash you get on gromp?

No, you just always smite gromp. The damage gain from smiting gromp means you finish your buffs faster which makes you healthier. Someone did the math on this about 6 threads ago.

I think Smiting Gromp gives you 13 damage over 3 seconds. It's not overwhelmingly powerful, but still better than Smiting Blue which gives you very little
|
an alternate route ive been testing if your playing a good scuttler killing champion from that path
no smite gromp/blue then go down and smite the dragon scuttler, then return back to wolves like normal and finish the jungle. Pretty good I like it since its flexible.
You can also gank mid after scuttler if possible.

But you're getting blue so you're going to get mana anyway. The only practical excuse for smiting blue without being pressured is if you're effectively oom and have spells off cd while taking it so you can clear it faster.

2 camps+scuttler gives level 3? I know that 3 camps+scuttler doesn't give 4 (4 camps+scuttler does though).

yea its definitely a devourer path where you are favoring gold and information for your laners over ganking/levels.
scuttler is the last neutral that has no timers so having control of them is very important for devourer junglers

How is Kennen currently? His winrate seems pretty high, but he's always seemed kinda hit or miss in metas.

The AP itemization changes few patches back worked really in his favor, but no pro play and no direct changes to him mean his popularity is unchanged, while Kennen specialists can use his current strength very well.

The champion.gg shows his items basically haven't changed (Zhonya's/Rylai/Hat as big cores), did those items go through some updates lately?
Forgive me for being behind -.-

Rylai's is now amazing because it's at the same 100AP tier as Zhonya's/Luden's. And NLR is now 1250 and 60AP instead of being so expensive. So, the buildup to Zhonya's is a lot easier, and you're not losing any AP by going Rylai's anymore.
Liandry's is also a legit choice on him now as well, since it's 80AP instead of 50.
|
Yes, I don't remember how many patches ago it was but literally every AP item got changed in some way.
Also Luden's and Liandry's are super good on him, better than than Hat imo but I guess it doesn't matter that much.
