r/Jungle_Mains

Just wanted to share my recent experience. Not blaming my teammates just a observation from a jungle main returning to the game experiencing diamond 4 as a farming jungle

I don't know how to deal with farming. I've gotten a lot of flack for spending my time "whacking frogs" and not helping on VC. In games I get pinged (mostly by bot) for farming my camps.

Yet at the same time while my K/D is 3.5, I always get left behind in gold and xp by enemy junglers. In low elo not so often since they also tend to hover all over for kills and not farming, but today was different - Today I helped steamroll an early game by setting my team up with a 15 kill lead - and we still lost because the enemy Diana farmed her camps all game and ended up folding us all up in a single fight. She had a 5k gold lead by just farm alone, she only caught up to me on kills like so.

As an assassin I feel torn. All points to me having to farm more to do better. Yet killing and ganking is more fun, but doesn't actually seem to win games. It only delays the inevitable if the enemy takes the lead in resources. Should I just ignore if I get flack for farming from now on?

I know hitting Diamond isn't that big of a deal. I started playing League when I was 6 and played until I was around 11, then took a 3-year break and came back at 14. That gap between 6 and 11 was mostly just for fun, but I wanted to take the game a bit more seriously.

In about 165 days, I climbed from Iron 4 to Emerald 4. After the season reset, I hit Diamond in 20 days, so it took me around 185 days total to go from Iron to Diamond.

I know what some people might say or think: that the gap between Iron and Diamond is similar to the gap between Diamond and Master 200 LP, and I don't disagree. I feel like it's going to get a hell of a lot harder from this point on.

That account was on EUNE, and I heard a lot of people say that EUW is harder. Hearing that got me excited, and I wanted to experience harder teammates and competition, so I made a new account. I went from Iron to Diamond in 41 days, and now I'm still progressing toward Master.

So my question is: should I look into a professional career in the EBL (Esports Balkan League), or should I give up on the dream of going pro?

I guess the main reason I made this post is because it's been 200 days since I hit D4 on EUNE, and I feel a bit stuck. But I locked in again, and I feel a strong will that I must become better.

If anyone has any tips for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I one-trick Viego, and I have around a 60% win rate on jungle, of course.

Moral of the story: I need someone's opinion on whether I should look into going pro and really lock in, or whether I should just play casually and focus on something else. Also any tips for climbing

Thanks for reading.

! Going pro is just a goal i set i dont belive im close to being a pro just a goal i set !

so I'm pisslow emerald but I've noticed a large uptick for me personally where either I get secondary roled or I have a filled jungler on my team. Is anyone else getting filled more, im playing during regular hours as well so it's been weird.

Is to watch the enemy team spam ping their jungler as you dominate them.

I have to edit this in because theres one more reason.

Watching the enemy spam ping your character as you dominate them.

So I’m in a bit of a predicament I was hard stuck bronze for a while played on and off and came back to the game a few months ago and managed to climb to gold playing mainly nasus and then rammus of nasus was banned, went from bronze 4-gold-4 in about 50 games

But since the changes to jungle nasus and the little item changes I felt I should try something else so I’ve been trying a range of champs I simply can’t win a game I don’t know if it was just nasus was broken and my elo is above where it actually should be but I also find my games have gone from playing with chill team mates all of a sudden to the most toxic garbage ever, I try my hardest to not blame loses on anything other than I didn’t play good enough but if your team is 0-9 before scuttle spawn what can you do to recover when people just have loser mentality and call game lost before 3mins

I kinda agree with Baussi.

I'm curious what other people think honestly.

That's not me saying other roles can't one trick, but more that these roles are incentivized due to their optimal role selection in Champ Selection.

Can you guys recommend me any good AD junglers that don't fall off late game and aren't ult reliant? And no, I am not taking Graves cause I tried and I suck at keeping his E stack

Ive been playing LoL since season 8, mained every role except jungle because I assumed the learning curve would be too steep for me.

This season after hitting diamond, demoting, and getting stuck in emerald, Ive decided to try jungle because it seemed to me like this role has atleast 3 times more influence on the outcome than top or adc, and much more influential than mid or support. after like 13 games in jungle Ive won 11 of them, hit diamond again, and Im now convinced jungle is so much more important than every other role that its funny. I assume yall are seasoned jungle veterans so I just want to ask, do yall feel the same way or is it just me?

I don’t play jungle but thought I would share my story about my past few games and how obvious it is that riot doesn’t care about junglers. Played 2 games both had a trolling teammate, first game was my adc who came mid and tried his hardest to steal my cs, second was a yoke top laner who was taking every jungle camp. Guess who in those games actually got punished for trolling (hint it wasn’t the yone), so even though the tristana did considerably better on the first game even with stealing my cs and was killing enemy’s, the yone in the 2nd game who stole all the jungle camps and was trying to run it down, did not receive any punishment. Good luck to the jungle mains riot doesn’t not have your back.

Got sent this and had to point out all the mistakes in it, sorry.

Hey guys, I’ve been grinding league all day every day for the past three weeks and got from Iron IV to Silver II. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed that every game I lose, my botlane loses hard. I’ve been trying to only full clear towards bot lane in order to support them and I think that makes sense because of the inherent volatility of having four players in one part of the map. How do you guys think about the game? Does this make sense?

I’m fairly new like 5 months in. I’m not great I’m an iron player right now . I’ve decided to main jungle I’ve recently found success with nocturne and sometimes graves right now and jarvan 4 . In the past I’ve used voli and yi and wukong and all that but I’m wondering for the current if I need to be playing briar and lillia and bel. But I’ve noticed they are either really really good or really really bad so I’m guessing they are hard to learn . Or should I just keep grinding nocturne , graves, and j4?

Edit: I’m perfectly fine with sticking with graves,j4 and nocturne my question I suppose is “are the stated champions above worth putting time into learning or is my pool sufficient as is”
