Junglers in low elo
Asked by Rekt by Goku on March 21, 2017
I'm main jungle in silver. I'd like to play some new champs, my main was rengar b4 the rework but after the rework I dont have fun anymore. So can you give me some advices for junglers in low elo that can carry games or make ppl carry games?
Xin Zhao is also pretty good at the moment and is very simple except he has a way in but not out of fights so you really have to know what he is capable of doing or you will quickly bite off more than you can chew. Master Yi is kind of the same way. Easy on paper, but harder to play at a really high level especially since he lacks any crowd control in his kit.
Moral of the story. Play one champion for at least 20 games. Focus on farming as efficiently as possible while keeping an eye on the mini-map and using that "free" time to think about where the enemy jungler is likely to be and where you need to be (as an example: could be counterganking if you think you win the 2v2 or might be counterjungling if you lose the 2v2).
After 20 games look at your win rate and ask yourself if you enjoy playing that champion. If you have a decent win rate (51%+ because that will allow you to climb, albeit slowly) and you enjoy playing that champion, then you've found something that works for you.
Ekki's champion suggestions makes sense, though I feel like Warwick is much harder to play well after the rework. Missing with his ultimate is kind of a big deal. But he does have good sustain. I'd probably also add in Vi as she is pretty good at dealing with slippery champions like Zed and Katarina because of her ultimate. The main trick with her outside of hitting Qs is using her auto attack resets properly to clear quickly. There is a high level jungler called Super Metroid that has some vids on how to play her.
You should probably ask in this thread too.
