looking out for another Jungler.
Asked by dudm on May 12, 2014
I am having trouble trying to master 2 junglers right now shaco, and olaf any tips to these guys at all cause I am havin really bad luck or to just master one and leave the other champ alone.
If you are already used to your junle then play what reprobate said above :p
1. As aDatpor said before, Shaco is high-risk, high reward and requires a very early-game centric team composition. If your team does not win before 35 minutes, you get out-scaled.
2. The reason why you're having trouble with Olaf is because once your Ragnarok is down, you can get kited to the fountain and back. To play Olaf you need a team that can lock the enemy down.
3. Junglers that are popular and work well are junglers that are relatively independent of team compositions or fit well into most team compositions. Another common trend is that optimal junglers must have high mobility.
Elise, Kha'Zix, Lee Sin. You don't have to follow the meta like a bible. It's more like guidelines. The other junglers you listed are okay, but are not that effective because the carry junglers can do much more than a tank with the sheer amount of gold you junglers get.
You have to keep two things in mind when you play this game and pick your champion:
1. Am I playing to win? Yes? Then I'll pick a jungler that fits my team composition.
2. Am I playing to have fun? Yes? Then I don't care what anyone says, I'm picking someone who I enjoy playing! :D
3. Does winning = fun? Yes? Then I'm picking what fits my team composition.
It all really boils down to what YOU want. If you're good enough, you can make almost anything work.
EDIT: For example, my friend can make Nautilus jungle work with a Feral Flare and Wit's End. I don't recommend it, but it's hilarious.
