I’ve been a jungle main pretty much since the first week I played wr, every season though when I get to diamond I completely hit a wall, either I get bad teammates or an enemy or 2 that are competing in pro league next week. I really need some advice, the farthest I’ve reached was one win into diamond 2

I guess I’m just not sure how to recover a game with losing lanes

#

Like how do I go about carrying that

Don't gank them, ignore what they ask you. Keep farming, both your jungle and their jungle. Only go objectives if you know you can get it, if not don't go. Pick off enemy squishies. Basically play for yourself. Split push a lane and get the waves and turret gold.

#

Then join teamfights again, that's how you carry losing lanes

One pertinent piece of advice I'd offer is knowing what your own champion needs to be strong and be able to carry. It could be that your champ is weak until a certain item is bought or whatever.

So, you'd farm/pick up free kills until that point in the game where you're able to hard carry.

master op champs like heca viego k6 lee kayn maybe yi

#

the easiest prolly viego and heca

#

I ignore requests for ganks

#

I'm the jg, I know when I can gank and when I can't

#

I'm watching the map 24/7 and if my dimwit duo lane keeps shoving every wave and sitting near enemy turret, let them get ganked until they learn

#

I can't gank that far efficiently

#

unless I can do something like a cheesy vi ult on a low health champ but chances are that won't work that early into the match

#

I'm not good enough with micro to play lee sin, or at least I haven't invested enough hours yet. so I ban him every time and just play Nunu tank. at least I can secure a lot of jg objectives with the double-smite

#

u wont climb if ur team aint good

#

not worth to play him

#

im currently smurfing in dia and tbh theres defo more dumb ppl so u gotta go 20/3 almost every game if u want to win

#

and a lot of ppl have big ego so enemy junglers invade early game more often which u can use to ur advantage cuz usually they have no idea what are they doing

#

or maybe i just got that many invading jg in my games

#

also even if enemies get ahead dont lose ur mental and keep playing cuz ppl make a lot of mistakes like not grouping well, playing too confidently and giving free gold, stalling the game which helps u catch up but to actually capitilize off their mistakes u gotta play a champ that can actually carry, and imo its the easiest with viego if u know how to play him

#

maybe I just need to play more viego, kayn and heca

#

k6 seems too comp dependent / you have to hope people are going to alone often enough but by late game that gets harder

I mean when enemy comp is too tanky it doesn't feel as smooth

#

I haven't played him bruiser tbh

#

yeah, maybe that's why

#

assassin k6 was fun like 8 seasons ago

#

I think I started on season 2 so that sounds about right

#

he was one of my very first champs

#

also I think people just didn't know his passive

#

LOL I have to check my account age after this match

toxic lichen
#

1,159 days lol

#

I'm a vainglory reject... took me a while to cave so I didn't join in season 1 I think

round cargo
#

that's just a skill issue

#

i play k6 from time to time and im doing good with the top 3 build

#

bruiser build is meh

#

just learn how to play properly

round cargo
#

no?

#

u go assassin get ahead and one shot everyone

#

what's bruiser build gonna do

#

ur not supposed to 100-0 tanks or tanky bruisers

#

ur supposed to assassinate

#

ur an assassin

#

u just dont know how to play k6 buddy

#

buying a steraks/GA as second last/last item on khazix isn't bad

#

depends on their comp, that extra survivability is huge for khazix

post game with your pov if you want a review and real applicable tips

IMH(noob)O an assassin is someone who's super bursty but if the burst fails, they have no real choice but to disengage. any prolonged fight means they're probably dead

#

i.e. super high immediate damage with little sustain

#

get in, kill, get out... or get killed in the process and die an honorable death

Starting to climb out of the rut thanks for the help guys

#

Your build is a little off. I imagine you went red Kayn? Surprised you didn't get Death's Dance.

You could've dipped into one of the following Frozen Heart/Thormail/Randuin/Twinguards considering the amount of autoattack champions the enemy team had.
