Not another Jungling video on Youtube.

My favorite Jungling Hero. SPROINK.

Alright ! There is another jungle video on Youtube ! Time to try it on a pub and spoil the game for my team.

Ok that statement was a little childish but lets face the fact, most jungling / ancient jungle at level 1 with weird Heroes like Alchemist, Wisp Medusa etc etc Heroes that could be better off at the lane.

Yes I know many of you might say that you have won games with these Heroes just by jungling but here are a few points to note by using ''unique' junglers.

1) ITS OBVIOUS.

Chances are, if you watched the video, they did too. If I see a Medusa not in any lane Top Mid Bottom, Its either he is AFKing in base or he is jungling at the Ancients. 90% of the time its that he is Ancient Stacking. Simple. I will just smoke up with another support and walk down there and pick you off before you know it, plant a nice Obs there and my Solo middle can easily take you out as many times as he want.

Guess what follows up after you have failed your jungling plan, NOTHING.

This story clearly sums up why it is so bad.

2) If you fail, you have lost the game. YOU, not any of your teammates.

Most of these jungling methods are extremely precise, one miss stack or one miss timing could result in you being stuck at level 2 at 6 minutes and your teammates will have to pay for it. Take a look at Wisp Jungling by Navi. The timing to Stack and aggro the creeps is very precised.

3) You are better off at a lane.

Lets relook at the rationale for jungling.

a) You can farm much faster than any lanes
b) You want to let another Hero solo the lane.
c) Their safe trilane is too much for any Hero to handle and you will most likely be idling at top or dying 3 ~ times.

Odd Junglers do not fulfill criteria a) most of the time only c) can justify why you are using a weird Jungler.

Im not against all these ideas. Im actually supporting them providing creativity and hoping to change the meta-game. Let all these ideas come up but please don't just pick a Hero and jungle just cause you feel like it. Look at the lineups and possibility first.

So in conclusion, please check with your teammates first if they mind if you were to use a non-jungling Hero to jungle. Please don't screw up if you do. Practice in lobby matches before you get started in pubs so you won't get raged at too much  ( Communication is key) . HAVE FUN !
