TBH I don't understand the obsession with jungle Jarvan. Sure, he's got decent ganks, an annoying gap-closer/escape and is fairly bulky. But vi, mao, amumu and even ramus just seem better even if he has a clear time advantage over some of them. Their ganks are as good if not better, their gap-closers aren't a nearly built-in flash maybe but they're solid and their ults can't fuck up teamfights like jarvan's more often than not does. He doesn't really seem to be worthy of being in the top tier junglers like people say he is.

Several reasons.
1: Stonewall placed him at #1 of his jungle list for quite a while. Sheeple gonna sheep.
2: He can be played both top/mid/jungle, so picking him it is not immediately obvious what you're going to do with him. This in turn means your team gets counterpick options if you grab an early jarvan.
3: He transitions really well from a ganking jungler into either a bursty assassin-type thing or a tanky initiator. This means your top lane is not locked into any subset of champions to fill whichever role jarvan didn't.
4: His hard engage/initiation allows him to be relevant in a fight even if he's underfarmed.

I'm going to write a short guide how to be pro at LoL. I'm gonna be adding new stuff every now and then, but here's a first bit:
* Always farm. Always. Even if it's 55 min. and you have full build. Don't let those monsters think they can loiter in your jungle like they own it. And when all your teammates die trying to defend the baron report for throwing the game.
* If your team is going into a teamfight and you think will go badly then back off quietly. Don't ping or anything. Just walk away towards your base. Even if all of your mates will die, 1v5 is still better chance than 0v5, right? Also, don't forget to report your teammates for going into 4v5 fights all the time.
* Don't look at the minimap. That 0.5 sec it takes to peek at it can be the difference between getting a kill and letting enemy escape. To be pro player you need to make big plays and that means you can't hesitate. If your team is doing what they are supposed to do then there's no chance you'll be ganked by 5 enemies at once, so when that happens and you die - report your teammates.
* If your jungling, don't gank. It's way better to get yourself farmed and doing ganks means not getting gold from monsters. Beside, if your teammates can't win their lanes on their own it means they're noobs. Report them after the game.

That should be enough for now, learn those lessons well and one day you'll have a chance to become pro player. Next time I'll give you a bunch of specialized advices for the pro players favorite lane - mid.

Got eligible for a series to get into Silver I but didn't play for a week. So I decided to try today.

First game, last pick calls mid. Whatever nobody banned malphite, enemy team picked him just before my turn. I picked singed. So what I gave him one kill in lane, it was only because I took two tower shots after poisoning the wave behind the tower (that damage change hurts), if I committed to the fight more (rather than try to run) or never took that damage I would kill him. Regardless I get catalyst, push and generally be a dick like singed is. Easily outfarm him, force him to base and get his tower. Ended the game with just that one death and another one where they blew everything on me because I dived them but my team mopped up and finished their nexus. GG waste malph ult on just singed.

The high point of the match was when enemy fed cait went to push my tower top. Bitch thought she can get away from singed with rilay's. I run around her traps and just refuse to take noticable damage. But cait has a plan, she'll flash over the wall! So she flashes, only a split second after my fling registered. She appears on the other side of the wall only to get thrown back right next to me into glorious poison. Cue her whining "OMG REPORT SINGED" the whole game. I love singed, he pisses people off so much.

:troll:

Second game was a clusterfuck. Rumble top was derpy and gave panth FB. I went free GRUNKERs moragana and ended up against fizz. Fizz was an idiot because he stood in my pools, got a kill on level 4 with no gank after I managed to snare him. He got fed off roaming because as always nobody fucking listens or pays attention if you ping them to b, type ss and ping missing every time he disappears. Do I have to become telepathic or something to warn these idiots better? Just because I'm comming to help doesn't mean you won't get raped before I get there. Especially if their jungler is also around.

Didn't matter because our MF got fed bot, cait+support fiddle with ignite OP. In teamfights the only people dying were me and leona, sometime rumble. Probably because I insisted on trying to save people with shield/snare/ult which made me vulnerable to getting gangraped by mao+panth. But fed as fuck MF just kept getting more fed, because why should fizz or panth focus fed MF? Ended up 1/4/17 as you can see above, had only 100 more gold than leona, nobody let me farm, not even leona. Oh well, at least MF carried.

I need to buy anivia one of these days, the pokemon is a very solid pick.

Climbing up is surprisingly easy so far. I mean sure, this was the third qualification series I got for Silver I. But apart from getting matched with absolute morons I manage to consistently do good and get lucky in the once in a blue moon game where I fuck up so reaching 100 LP again for another series isn't hard. It helps that I go for picks with utility or teamfighting ability so even if I'm underfarmed I do something. The thing is I'm usually the only one other than the support picking someone who can initiate or peel.

Well that and unlike half of the people in tin foil elo I actually pick based on what they pick or I pick safe champs (morgana, malphite, a jungler or support) if I don't know who are they going to pick. Either make the lane play out on your terms or not play at all if you want to let the enemy do that with a counterpick. Calling mid for first pick and picking kassadin like a retard is like asking for a loss, even if he is a pubstomper.

I gave in after watching a bro play and created an account. It's now asking me if a friend told me about the game, and if I put in something we'll both get prizes and shit. Any takers? Nvm, done.

Username is ClockworkKnight, btw

What I'd REALLY like to know is how the score could be 43-28 when the enemy team only has 23 killing blows. Did you guys get aced by Nashor?

43/28? Holy shit, that's like the games when I play with root's sub-20 account on EUNE.

Like I said only panth really won his lane out of their team. Bot was mf+leona against cait+fiddle with ignite, they just snowballed. I won my lane easily by getting a kill and outfarming fizz, he got fed because my teammates didn't respond properly to warnings while I did everything right (warned them, warded and followed him). Only died during jungle/teamfight shenanigans, but better me than our fed MF. Also she ks'd everyone, even when I chased and snared that fucking fiddle alone from full health she walked in and ks'd with one auto when he got hit with Q+pool and would definitely die from my next AA or pool tick.

The lesson you learn from this is that if you see a useless POS support who takes ignite, against a lane bully like MF who gets Leona out of all people as a support, you dodge.

Nautilus needed a buff? Well it was kinda ridiculous how a big guy in an iron suit has no armor.

I just had Zac early on 0/0/7 which almost never happens with my junglers, usually I die and kill a bunch. He's a crafty ganker. Anyway our Xin and Cait derped a little and it went a bit downhill, also I missmited our second drake by just rolling my finger on D by accident, also Malz was so greedy he'd take any of my jungle he would find, usually every wraiths after the first even while he was fucking up his own lane CS, that just pisses me off, learn to last shot first before you start stealing from your jungler. Well I'd go 3/9/40 with equal damage dealt to our Malz and almost equal to our Cait and some of their guys, our Xin did the most by far which is pretty surprising to me. Maybe it's because Galio got to be such a huge problem with his massive MR so some physical damage guy had to always kill him. Our ali DC'd in the end ofc, still we could kill them 4v5 in the end, I built sorcs locket warmogs instead of what I built before which was guise and something, felt a lot better, well of course Laundry's at the end and Randuins. Where was I, oh yeah, isn't it funny how you're charging up your slingshot and instantly the enemy ADC retreats from the fight, then you're just ok, I'll just charge the front line guys then and mess them up, surely Xin or something can catch Draven when he comes back and even if he can't my slingshot CD isn't overly long.

I think Zac won't be as good when more people realize the absurd range on his E, but I guess he's going to be good anyways. That free GA passive seems to be something that baits people into silly things too. I heard he's a pretty annoying laner with his sustain too, but I don't see the point, I don't think he needs lane farm for anything.

Not sure what to think about Zac. His initiation range is nuts, but that's all he really has going for him. Unless his lanes can supply additional CC and tons of damage, most people just walk away after you land on them and blow your combo. He also feels like he takes too long to get tanky for a main initiator. Slower than Vi even.
