League of Legends (LoL) Question: Starting ADC Jungle Camps

Posted in General 3,022

  • My Penta Dreams

    Starting ADC Jungle Camps

    When in a game, while I play ADC and start on blue side I have my jungler smite the Large Krug to gain the Heavy Hands bonus and the go to red buff. While me and my support take that camp to get me to rank up faster then return to lane. On blue side it happens the same way ,but I take the gromp. Is this viable or should it be done a different way?

    It's certainly viable, in fact, that's the way most games start out for bottom lane, however, in order for your jungler not to fall too far behind he must double jungle with his top laner, if he smites the Krugs/Gromp for you. Alternatively, he could save his smite and just start on his buff, while you and your support duo the camp, do note that not every support/adc combination is good for starting a camp and your jungler will have a worse clear, if you decide to do it this way.


    TL;DR- You should ask your jungler and top laner to double jungle, while smiting a camp for you and your support, since getting that exp lead in bottom lane is pretty crucial. (Just don't get pushy, if your jungler/top laner doesn't want to do it)

    I feel that this is generally not a good option. For some junglers this is viable because they can take a buff at level 1 without smite and dont really need the gold. Every time my friend plays Nunu he'll give the camp to the bot lane. Usually the better option is to have the jungler double jungle with the top laner and take the camp yourself. This lets the jungler have a good start and gives you an xp advantage. This isnt the best option for every bot lane duo and in some cases just isnt viable, but it is usually better to not take the camp and let your jungler have a better clear than to have that slight xp advantage while crippling the junglers clear speed.
