@Phillip Cho Yeah probably. Riot are talking a lot and taking feedback so we'll have to see where the changes land. For now, what was strong before is still kinda strong now accept for a few cases having a rough time like Kindred.

I have been binge watching a bunch of these jungle-videos now and I have to say, they are super well made. They always give a good mix between opinion and facts and actually makes me want to try jungle, even though it also looks super intimidating to need to be able to do all that stuff outside of °just playing the game°.

Excellent video as always! This is the EXACT thing that I've been needing to work on to up my gameplay next. I've felt 100% lost in champ select and early game recently due to not researching and knowing my opponents capabilities! Thanks Virkayu!

I quite like the format of this video (as usual), but this video really touched up on something that should be obvious, but isn't. Talking about how important match ups are is something that I never really thought of. I would love to see your new series of talking about match ups between jungler most specifically Evelynn considering I really want to see how she fairs and what strategies I can use. Very well thought out video and wish to see more like this, keep it up!!

Now this is quality, Thank you, on a side note, as a carry jungle main in these past few days I've been struggling a lot with the Runic Echos change, evelynn and nidalee for most, the mana and Cdr are just silly imo, the lack of the extra 7% MS is to much, if you have any guide for these kind of champions with this new jungle change will you do a video on it? if so much Appreciated

@virkayu 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, I'm with you. I had teh runic change for Evelynn. I was making this video so didn't have much time to muck around, but I'll be playing with some set ups over the coming days and see what makes sense. Hopefully there is a video in that, even if it's just a gameplay breakdown. I wouldn't hard focus on early scuttle though, not really as important as level 3 and pressure as usual. In Eve's case you can red/raptors/two baby wolves/blue for level 3, contest scuttle/gank, do gromp/wolves.. then go back, krugs and second raptors plus second scuttle spawn and you should be super close to 6. Otherwise hard farming with scuttle control gets you 6 soonish too - which is all we are looking for. For builds, I can't just yet.

@Cobra84uk 6 жыл бұрын

Great informative video i've been looking forward to your next upload. I was wondering what do you currently think of the current jungle changes abit over the top or justified?? As i'm feeling currently it doesn't feel like our jungle as carbs are to much contested by what laners react first and not 1v1 jungle action what they said it was for. So another great video and is Blitz desktop confirmed fine to use by Riot as i don't want to use it and end up being banned for it.

@virkayu 6 жыл бұрын

XP nerfs were fine, I don't like 4 camps for level 3 as it hurts off-meta, but I understand it.. would've preferred a slightly different solution though. Scuttle XP improvement is weird although first few early ones aren't that big of a deal, I feel. RNG I hate so much. Runic Echoes is bad too. Off meta mages like Zyra LOVED the MS on Runic Echoes, not that this version is terrible on her, it's just I'd rather have MS over the mana. CDR is okay though. Champs like Evelynn really preferred the old version. Basically I'm down for a mid way point between what it was and what they've put in. Blitz desktop app is just an interface that shows information that you'd get from other sites like op.gg, it doesn't interact with the client at all so it's fine.

@jaydendeabay3731 6 жыл бұрын

Can you make a video on patch 8.10 jungling? Skillcapped had a good video on basic pathing but some champs seem to be very hard to start with now that you may have to fight lvl 2 or 3 against a better dualist or fall behind a little on cs. And thanks for the videos I enjoy them.

Warwick, Trundle and Xin are 3 of the strongest you could play so that's good. Shyvana also okay but no where near as strong as the other 3. Having CC for crab is also very useful which she does not.

Any chance you will ever make a team fighting guide? I feel like so many games in soloq come down to teamfight execution, and a guide on that would be really helpful. I know it is champion, game and set up specific, but I still think you could make an informative guide.

@virkayu 6 жыл бұрын

I actually had a teamplate for footage and idea of how to make one but didn't have the editing to bring it to life. Gonna see about it this summer I think. I want to redo the early game jungling guide, ultimate ganking guide for Season 8 so teamfighting will probably make the trio. I need the right footage though and it's best to wait for the mid season changes so it's as relevant as possible when I do make (because they take a while to put together so it's important they work for a while :P)

@jean-sebastienlauzon8535 6 жыл бұрын

Something i hate is the fact that jg changes usually put a meta in place and certain jgler cant really be played since there are just other/better option to choose from. Exemple, Kindred is not that strong right now and playing her knowing i might lose not because of skill but because she is weak against meta jgler is what i hate. It's my opinion, i might be wrong but in my opinion playing the champs i like should not give me that feeling.

@virkayu 6 жыл бұрын

But you are completely right. That's what I hate too. Just playing your favourite champion shouldn't make you feel like you're gonna lose just because the meta destroys them.. it's something Riot need to look at for sure.
