Diamond Junglers

Ninja · Apr 11, 2014

Ok so I played to games with diamond junglers but each time the game went for around 40 minutes and within that time top and mid got 0 ganks and bit got 3-4 within 40 minutes???

Isn't jungle supposed to create lane pressure and gank lanes!!!!

Cause so far the only way I see me winning a diamond game is if I jungle and go to an internet cafe to play(I have to use a wireless pocketwifi, lag galore).

Are am I wrong, in diamond are players expected to have 0 ganks for all game?

First of all, if your lane phase lasted 40 minutes, it's not diamond.

Every jungler has a different strategy, and every game is different. Jungling is the hardest position.

You must know what everyone is building, everyone's move speed, where the enemy jungler will be based on their previous locations and buff timers, who has the advantage at that exact moment in each lane, when your own buff and objective timers come, how far the lanes are pushed, when your teammate's ward expires in lane for counterganks, when the enemy lane wards expire for ganks, how much damage each tower currently does- each hit, how fast the enemy jungler's clear time is and obviously what to build based on the enemy jungler and who has been farming/killing well in the game.

That's just lane phase.

If it's diamond, I expect that the junglers are doing their job. The difference of players in diamond is purely mechanics and micro-decisions.

If you're winning your lane and keeping away from enemy ganks, you may not always get ganks. It depends on the game. If you are a good jungler yourself then just stick to that. A good jungler wins games. Play like Meteos, carry lanes, win games.
