But like I said, just because you don't NEED it, you should have it. More commonly I use it when counter jungling earlier on, and I want to steal their buff as quick as possible. I've stolen buffs from people while they're there though and then killed, usually when I have their jungle warded.
But for the most part, I suppose you are right. Overall it's more useful and important for baron/drag. Basically it's just necessary overall for good jungling.
My name is Havok.
And yes, your mother loves me.

Check out my Katarina guide!

You jungle for 2 main reasons.

To gain gold advantage and EXP advantage, and to gain map control.

If your solo top laner can't handle a 2v1, then jungling backfires and you've lost map control. This is realistic, so try this out.

Tell him YOU WILL COME TOP, but you will clear jungle first.

Clear the jungle, go top, help him a little bit, and in a minute or two, base go clear the jungle again and go top. ALWAYS TELL HIM you're gonna clear the jungle when you go. Even if he *****es just tell him to hug the tower and not worry about getting farm for a minute.

While you won't be GAINING any map control for this, like you would with a traditional jungler, the goal is to gain the advantage of gold and exp in having your jungle cleared occasionally.

Maybe this way your solo lane won't get bodied as hard because it's sorta half of a solo lane.

Pretty sure he takes smite and is ganking lanes.. Otherwise he is just derping around in the jungle by himself. lol

However, some people think just because a certain champ CAN jungle with out smite they SHOULD jungle without smite-- and that, my good sir, is stupid. I yell at these people and call them bad. It's pretty much saying: "I'M GONNA GIVE THE OTHER JUNGLER MORE JUNGLE CONTROL, EASY BUFF STEALS, A FASTER JUNGLE WHICH EQUATES TO MORE GANKS AND ALL FOR AN EXTRA SUMMONER BECAUSE I NEED MORE OF A CRUTCH FOR 1V1."
That's all that means.


IKR? I blame Riot for recently making jungling so easier. Before that, EVERY jungler would pick smite.
Just because I'm new in Mobafire. Does NOT mean I'm new in League Of Legends.

Nah, there were always occasional idiots trying to jungle without smite on champs like Warwick.

Olaf performs the function well, but he's too gear dependent.
