This wikiHow teaches you how to role-play the Jungler in League of Legends. The jungler role is carried out by wandering in the "forest" area of the game (areas other than the main attack paths) to strengthen the team by defeating neutral monsters, obtaining gold (gold), and XP for themselves and teammates, and ambushing opponents on the path. closest.
Step
Step 1. Define the main role
There are three main roles a jungler has, each with a different play style:
- ganking (ambush) - Performed by ambushing the opponent's laner (player on duty) and jungler to weaken them and prevent them from gaining gold and experience (experience to level up), as well as slowing down their game progress. This method is the most effective if the opponent's jungler is farming type.
- Farming - Done by defeating as many monsters in the forest as possible to become a high level character at the end of the game. This method is most effective if the opponent uses a controlling type jungler.
- Controlling (controller) - Performed by hunting and killing the opposing team's jungler to prevent the opponent's progress and “control” the jungle for your team. This method is most effective if the opponent uses a ganking type jungler.
Step 2. Choose the right champion (hero character)
While you can use a variety of champions to play as a jungler, the role you choose determines the most efficient allocation of stats to the champion:
- ganking - Jarvan IV, Nautilus, or a champion with similar stats.
- Farming - Udyr, Master Yi, or another champion with similar stats.
- Controlling - Amumu, Trundle or other champions with similar stats.
Step 3. Choose the runes that match the jungler
The runes " Fleet Footwork ", " Predator ", " Nullifying Orb ", and " Guardian " will help the character attack and defend against the monsters in the forest, as well as allow him to stay wandering in the forest.
Step 4. Purchase items that support roles and champions
You can buy items from the shop that increase attack power, mana regeneration, and so on. Here are some items designed to support junglers:
- Hunter's Machete - Increases damage to monsters.
- Hunter's Talisman - Increases mana regeneration when in the forest.
- Skirmisher's Saber - Increases damage to monsters; drastically increases mana regeneration while in the forest.
- Stalker's Blade - Increases damage to monsters; drastically increases mana regeneration while in the forest.
- Tracker's Knife - Increases damage to monsters; drastically increases mana regeneration while in the forest.
Step 5. Buy and use wards
Wards allow you to clear the fog of war in the area where the wards are placed so you can see incoming enemies and ambush them before they can see you. Using a ward will help the jungler and his teammates to find opponents, prevent ambushes, and plan counter attacks.
- Wards can be purchased at the store.
- Wards are only available on the Summoner's Rift map.
Step 6. Know the monsters that need to be killed
Start by defeating one of the blue or red monsters early on as it will strengthen you and give you enough experience to level up. As you gradually fight more powerful monsters (and eventually boss level monsters, e.g. dragons), ask the laner for help every now and then.
Defeating all the monsters in the "camp" (the part of the forest that has several monsters) will start a countdown before the monsters reappear (respawn)
Step 7. Gap (gank) the opposing team
Gank means to ambush and weaken (or even kill) an opposing champion by swarming him from the side or rear. Raids are often carried out by teaming up with laners above or below your forest site.
Killing your opponent will give you experience and gold for the player who lands the finishing blow
Step 8. Communicate with the team
As with any competitive game, make sure you communicate with the team and assess what they need from you. You can start from a supporting role (eg controlling jungler) but when the opposing team plays more aggressively, switch roles to gank jungler.
Step 9. Kill the boss monster
Boss monsters, such as dragons and Baron Nashor, give the team a power boost when killed by anyone on the team. Since these monsters appear quite late in the game, your level will need to be high enough to be able to defeat them without much help from your friends.
Step 10. Manage time
As a jungler, you have to make sure you're always attacking something, whether it's a monster, minion, or opposing champion. Since your overall XP gain depends on your reliability in defeating as many monsters as possible, this momentum needs to be maintained.
- View map. Make sure you ambush when the situation is favorable, attack monsters whenever possible, and assist the team with wards during “quiet” periods.
- If you're waiting for something to happen, it's best to move to a new location.
Tips
- A player who dies a few times may not mean much compared to a player who has killed a lot. Sometimes it's better to focus on the winning path instead of helping the already lost. This decision is often made by junglers.
- You can play against your opponent's AI (computer) to practice your jungling skills and find the best map route for you without fighting real people.
- Don't pay too much attention to your opponent's criticism during the early stages of jungling. As you practice, your skills will improve.
