agreed here. In most games, there will be a back and forth between helping in the lane and in the jungle. Always looking at the mini-map to see who needs help is definitely key.

Through most competitive battles I find myself pushing the lane as a jungler because the opposing team usually rushes lane to defeat the turrets. Other games I'd need help in the jungle because they have two junglers and rush right when the game starts.

There's many different play styles and not 1 will get you the win every time.

I'm "pretty good" and I prefer to lane alone, but the most recent trend is for there to be a lot of people in the lane and only some selfish noobs in the jungle that don't come up when I need to resupply. A good player is versatile and knows what is happening around them.

It's always the people that are selfish that want to surrender or who don't leave the base to avoid being killed and still not get penalized for abandoning.

As long as we are making assumptions here, I'll assume all of you jungle fanatics who are saying I must be low level are probably low level players with no versatility at all.

I watch the lifestream games and the single best thing about the pinnacle of awesome players is their understanding of the game and the versatility!!

I thought I would learn a bit of strategy, but I found more than a bit, as well as, keen tactics, humility & humor. Thx, Mates.

Happy hunting to all.

I agree -- the Jungle is a distraction, and it is important to play it that way.

1 -- Never choose Munion Mines over Turrets. Turrets stand between you and the Vain. Munion Mines do not.

2 -- Don't attack the Gold Mine unless you know where your opponents are and (1) they are far, far away (i.e. dead) or (2) distracted by the rest of your team.

3 -- If you have Krul on your team, leave Krul to range freely in the Jungle. Krull is GREAT at close-in fighting, but stand off attacks are what you need in the Lane. Krull is eaten up there in the beginning and middle of the game. Taka and Koshka should only sporadically venture in to the Jungle, but should support the Laner primarily

4 -- OTOH if you have Glaive and Krul on your team let them ravage the Jungle and pop up in to the lane (your Laner should stick close to a turret and draw the opponent in to attacking you so the turret will target them.)

Two good laners should at the very least be able to hold the lane. Either the opponent (1) puts one or no player in the lane and you kill munions and turrets; (2) puts two players in the land and you do as well as you play or (3) puts three players in the lane and you use the turret as your third man. Two people in the lane requires the pair to seek out the opponent under uncertain circumstances. Neither levels up or accrues gold terribly quickly and the laner will get overrun. #BadIdea

Just my two bits.

It's this awesome little thing clled roaming maybe try it some time?
