Questions about High Elo Jungle
I spend some of my free time watching Competitive League of Legends and also quite a bit watching High Ranking Professional Player Streams and something I've noticed a lot is that Lee Sin isn't really a normal jungle pick and mostly goes Top Lane, why is that? And while on the Subject I don't see a lot of Udyr at higher Ranks, why is this? In my opinion and many players will agree Udyr brings a devastating power to a team with his Resistances and Nice damage output... So can anyone explain this to me?
Udyr wasn't played much because his kit was pretty weak compared to other junglers. He could clear fairly fast, but his ganks were lackluster and he would just be kited in team fights. The reworked Udyr apparently has very fast jungle clear as well as a more reliable gap closer. I don't know if this will bring him back into the meta as a jungler, but you might see more of him soon.
This left everything to be extremely predictable and respondable. you knew when an udyr was coming at you with his bear stance and could easily react to that with a counter-initiate
tis why he's not played anymore
you'll realize that most competitive players never want delayed abilities that can be responded to.
