There are many types of diversity when it comes to 3 solo lanes. You could have:

2 Junglers
1 Jungler, 1 Roamer
1 Jungler, 1 Counter-Jungler
2 Counter-Junglers

and so on. If you have high sustained solo lanes this shouldn't be a problem

I don't really think double-jungle would work unless your 2nd jungler has great CC and ganking, can transition to support, and moves fast. Also you need lanes who can push super hard so the laners can't assist their teammates.

You can do smthn like:
Jungler 1 : Mundo
Jungler 2: Alistar
Top: Corki
Mid: Cass
Bot: Cho'Gath

I think



Well a jungle is easily covered by 4 wards so yea ._.

I don't think it can work at a high level of play.....I've seen it on streams but overall it's too unreliable to be effective. You're essentially banking on the fact that your 2 junglers will be faster than the enemy....So you'd need something like Olaf+Lee Sin for it to actually be possible.

That's the ideal line up imo. Fast clears strong counter jungling, good early sustain. But that's it, overall you're gimping your bot lane. A good opposing team will simply perma zone/freeze the bot lane away from your ad carry. In the end game your main sources of damage will be your mid and your AD carry. An AD carry without items results in a lack of DPS which allows the enemy to have a greater endgame advantage.

If I'm not making sense, forgive me, I was up until like 3 am.

You could also switch up the meta to make it work. Put an AD Carry top that would be able to prevent the opposing top laner from getting too close and such while your AP Carry stays mid (or AP top and AD mid). Then you can have a much more tanky individual to go bottom. You will have more opportunities to gank, keeping constant pressure on the enemies.

the most common is 1 mid, 1 bot, 1 top, 2 afk

It's difficult to do, but with good warding, quite effective. The benefits of a double jungle:

1.
double jungle relies on ganks to be effective, BUT NOT NECESSARILY LANE GANKS. The glory of double jungle is that it means you automatically win the jungle. It's 2v1. You can reeeeeally screw over an enemy jungler. This, in turn, frees up your lanes to be more aggressive than normal (except 2v1 lane, obvi).

2.
You put a lot of pressure on lanes. It's hard to push out when you know that at any time, it could be 1v3.

For this reason, it is almost essential to get an oracles on one of the junglers. Denying enemy sight, and keeping track of their jungler can make double jungle quite effective. I find that double jungle is most effective when your junglers have good kill potential, and the enemy jungle would rather not engage. An Amumu would have a very hard time staying alive if ganked in the jungle by a Mundo and an Alistar.

I hope something changes the meta soon.

3. Moscow Five did something kind of similar. The support basically followed the jungler around in the enemies, and their own jungler whilst an AD carry went solo bot lane. It wouldn't be good to not have a support, so this is probably the most viable variant.


That is how you do it, but it's only viable for premade 5vs5.. And you don't want to have 2 smites in a team, it's just stupid..

Having a support with the jungler is kinda good, but it worked a lot better before they "nerfed" the jungle. But it's still viable. A strong CC support with a sustain spell like Taric, Janna or Alistar.. The beauty with this strategy is that you can counter jungle really good and there is a possibility to successfully use slow solo junglers like Talon, Evelynn and Fizz etc.

It works, but requires a good 5v5 team with a well made team setup.
