Jungle/SoloQ - How to handle teams with no frontline
Hello everyone,
I'm a jungle main, currently in G4.
I usually play bruiser jungle that tend to farm and scale (mainly Jax, but Wukong too and stuff like that)
I tried Zyra back in the days, and I loved her gameplay and Brand's one in jungle (you know, spaming emote while DoTs and plants do the work)
The problem is that I find it difficult to fit as Zyra in a team comp. I know in soloQ you can play whatever you want, but I often finished in teams without frontline (that's why I usually pick bruisers, because they are frontline at least) and I struggled agaisnt engage and assassins comps when you lack frontlane/CC. In this domain, Zyra is much more stable than Brand ofc, thanks to her amazing engage reception and CC's. But that's the main reason I dropped her, I felt like I had to tryhard much mroe to win with those picks than the usual no-brainer bruiser
Now, I played her again the other day and I remembered why I loved her, she seems so much more fun to play than bruisers, having to handle space and stuff. And it forces me to play less agressive, which is fine.
So I have some questions to you guys :
- How do you handle team comps with no frontline ?
- How do you handle assassins matchup (midlane or jungle, the ones that start invading you. I usually clear super fast but sometimes it's not enough)
- How do you handle Zyra jungle in flexQ/5-man stacks ? Generally my friends tend to prefer having engage/frontline junglers and they never like when I pick Zyra, should I step back in those cases ?
- Any sstreamer/youtuber recommandations for Zyra ?
