Season 3 Jungle Makes Me Frustrated And Sad, jungling to me is now just way too frustrating All i used to play was jungle and now all i do is fall behind in jungle by the 20 minute mark i am 4 levels behind top a lower level than the support, and the oppsing jungler usually is too, it ridiculous the only way to keep with the game is to go 16/4 or something crazy this needs to be changed jungling isn't fun anymore its just somehting people have to do because they want a solo lane. I would rather do ultimate bravery every game then jungle and jungle used to be my favorite thing to do.
I am usually level 5 as a jungle when bot lane is level 4 (sometimes I hit 5 RIGHT before they hit 4, putting them 2 levels behind for a short period). Maybe it's your positioning. Are you missing team fight exp? Are you skipping double golems (don't)?
Griftrix, you tend to be the Rioter to go to for jungling. I have had a question for a while that Xypherous has never answered. I'm wondering if you'll have the answer. And I'd like your opinion on it.
Do you know if the jungle items and gold ratios based around giving blue buff to the midlane champion? Giving up ancient golem is a large loss of experience, gold, and mana regen for the jungler, but its expected for you to do it. So if I'm a jungler, are all my items based around me never having a magic mp5 buff, and the extra gold of blue buff? Or am I losing out on what's expected of my role when I help the midlaner?
Also do you give blue buff to your midlaners?
I have no idea about the balance, and I sometimes do and sometimes don't. It depends how the game is going. If they are losing mid, then I don't want to give it to the enemy mid.
that is when a mid is most likely to rage you did not give them blue though...
How would you suggest telling them why you are denying them blue without getting reported and potentially flamed by the person or even a potential premade party.
my advice is to not 'deny' them blue. if your team feels it's better for the jungler (or whoever, really) to take blue buff then go with that, but i really think that's a decision you should reach as a team. open communication can be really great.
as an aside, if your mid is behind i'd be super hesitant to give blue buff to anyone but them—it's likely the case that they need the extra xp and gold, as well as the mp5 and cdr so they have a chance of farming against an opponent that's ahead and likely has blue buff. it all heavily depends on the scenario of course, but 'denying' your mid a blue buff could push them toward being under-farmed, under-leveled, and overall a serious liability later in the game. that's one of the reasons why it's important to discuss neutral creep/buff management as a team. you should be looking out for each other.
