Jungle Nation - Jungling Strategy Talk

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I have a question for the jungler gods, I don't know if it's been covered and I don't feel like sifting through the entire thread but; On junglers like [[Vi]], [[Jarvan IV]], and [[Aatrox]], I tend to build 1-2 [[doran's blade]]s early on in the game (providing I got some kills). Is this still a thing or am I doing something that's been gone for a while?[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]Don't worry, it's still a thing.[/quote]

[/quote] Would not build any dorans unless it is your starting item, which only works on a couple of select junglers with good innate sustain. (xin, aatrox and possibly lee) Would not go for any dorans blades on j4 and vi for sure[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]I like Doran's Blade start on [[Master Yi]] and [[Rengar]] as well.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje][quote=drakon136] I like Doran's Blade start on [[Master Yi]] and [[Rengar]] as well. [/quote] Those two champs shouldn't be played jungle anyway[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]Does that mean they can't be jungled?[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Vyn, I usually buy them if I have leftover cash after my spirit items and boots. It's usually when I've gotten 1-2 kills before backing.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje][quote=drakon136] Does that mean they can't be jungled? [/quote] They can, but that should be limited to normal games. I would not like to see any of those two in my ranked games. [quote=OTGBionicArm] Vyn, I usually buy them if I have leftover cash after my spirit items and boots. It's usually when I've gotten 1-2 kills before backing. [/quote] You're better off getting [[the brutalizer]] if you want to snowball an early lead. That, or mobi boots. [[doran's blade]]s overall are only worth it on a jungler to make a big impact level 3.[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]Do you like [i]any[/i] carry junglers?[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje][quote=drakon136] Do you like [i]any[/i] carry junglers? [/quote] Yes. I play [[shyvana]] as a carry jungler and I like to play [[xin zhao]] super aggressively (also building him quite aggressively when I get a lead). Most full dps junglers just aren't viable atm.[/quote]
