Jungle Blitz; Let's discuss

[quote=SinDelta]So an idea popped in my head try blitz as a jungler. He has a good level 1/level 2 gank if you can get your hook off, He can counter jungle pretty well I think. Now I know this isn't viable in ranked or tournament play but for pubs I think it could work. So far after trying out a few rune setups/masteries ect.. I was able to solo Ancient Golem with out a leash and hit level 2 right after and being able to pull off a decent level 2 gank. I start off with his E for extra damage and a knock up then when I get level 2 I pick Rocket Grab then try and pull off a gank. As far as runes and masteries go I did 1/19/10 and for runes I'm still playing around with some but I used 9xArP Marks, 5xAtkSpd Seals/4xAD Seals, 1xAD Glyph and 8xAtkSpd Glyphs, 3x Movement Spd Quints. Now you're thinking why did this guy use such odd runes and my answer is IDFK lol. So what do you guys think?[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]He can do it. But you're right, it's not a competitive strategy. At least, nobody has developed a Blitz route or method that is competitive yet o_O All I can remember in terms of jungle Blitz is hearing HotshotGG raaaaage at his team for picking it once, l0l.[/quote]

[quote=Confehdehrehtheh]I played against a jungle Blitz before. It was a pretty easy win. Granted he wasn't very good as he never tried to pull from the jungle/just ran up to power fist, but it just doesn't seem like it would be all that great in general. His ganks rely heavily on a difficult skillshot that is negated by a ward.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Blitz no longer pulls a ward. GG.[/quote]

[quote=Confehdehrehtheh]Not what I meant. You just need to have the knowledge he's there in order to stop it. If you put down a ward(which you should be doing) then he can't do anything. Thus he's stopped by a ward.[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]lol every jungler can be stopped by a ward o0 no different with blitz and you should run up to yr target first and then grab if somehow possible greez sam[/quote]

[quote=Urscythe][quote=samgoeslol] lol every jungler can be stopped by a ward o0 no different with blitz and you should run up to yr target first and then grab if somehow possible greez sam [/quote] Not gonna happen. Blitz has no sustain in jungle besides potions, which means he will be slow, he will be vulnerable, and before he can gank, he's gonna have to refill at the fountain. Why would you take Blitzcrank over Maokai or Nunu if your primary goal is amazing ganks? Both Maokai and Nunu have incredibly strong ganks and strong sustain while jungling, and Nunu is also a very strong counter-jungler (he's just kinda weak late game is all.)[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I can see the draw and the idea of jungle Blitz being fun. I can also understand a player wanting to use Blitz's specific skill-set. Or maybe a player is just really good at Blitz, and bad at all other junglers, and finds themselves needing to jungle. I don't know. It could be a fun idea. :P[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]y you shouldnt play blitz since his clearing time and flexibility are really low compared to like gp or lee sin[/quote]
