A lot of pro players are creatures of habit or just wait for people to figure something out, put it on a big shiny reddit post or whatnot, and just copy that. AS still does pretty much everything it used to do, it just isn't the best anymore. Unless you're really caring about the minutia of it all, you aren't looking to check unless there is a direct change. | ||

On a more relevant note, how is Jarvan in the new jungle? Is he still decent or am I playing all the wrong champions? | ||

Popular opinion by western pros seems to be that they consider Jarvan and Lee the strongest junglers atm. | ||

Level 3 ganks are far less frequent and also I have gotten so many first bloods by hunting the enemy's jungler super low trying to clear 6 camps before first back yeah, making the other jungler's life hell is my preferred style this season, smite his wraith to take the buff and then ward the fuck out of it and just keep killing him over and over | ||

On a more relevant note, how is Jarvan in the new jungle? Is he still decent or am I playing all the wrong champions? Give it a whirl in some normals and tell us how it goes. I might even be tempted to do so. Most of Darius's weakness is that his CC is very short ranged, how ever getting the blue jungle item allows him to CC at a distance which very well make him viable. The Smite slow lets you get close enough to drag with E and slow again with W. Everything is worth considering, nothing is entirely figured out. Darius has decently good stats, in particular AS, so his clear should be decent and would be a tankier jungle for sure. I would try 9.21.0 first with AD or AS jungle runes Regards, Basic | ||

It risks counterjungling but if you were going to be low health anyway it's both safer and more lucrative to do Golems/Red/Raptors -> base -> Gromp/Blue/Wolves. All depends on if you think your opponent is going to be aware of the timing and try to exploit it. | ||

Edit: Might work on red side though if their jungler starts frog and you start red with top & mid leashing. Edit2: Stealing buffs is also not that big of a deal for most junglers anymore, because the smaller creeps next to the buffcreep give a lot more xp than in season 4. So a buffsteal is not so bad in terms of xp. | ||

I fully expect this play to become common place in not too long and for us to see a switch back to blue or red first. Regards, Basic That's fairly unlikely to become standard as any lvl1 ward around those places in the river will make that ineffective | ||
