I agree with this. After Manamune on Yorick he really doesn't need BB. Mid should definitely get it.

After manamune you can spam all day long

lol the odds of the other team giving their top blue are little to none

if you're on the blue side of the map it's extremely easy to get away with this. starcraft players would call this "cheesing", because the other team would obviously have no clue as to how to counter a yorick with blue at level 1.

mid for example is a more common option for people to do. sure, it could be beneficial. but mid is more prone to ganks than any other lane due to how easy it is. manamune, i'm sure, is not stacked until AT LEAST 25~35 minutes into the game. i don't think before 10 minutes that you'll have over 3k mana and be fine w/o a blue. yorick w/ blue top on the blue side is what i believe nearly impossible to counter unless the other team sees it coming and picks someone who can sustain well against yorick (vlad, warwick, lane sin)

most good players however dont need to give yorick blue @ lv 1 because it's better to camp mid (visit 2~3 times for gank) while having blue and farming

yorick can do very well even w/o blue, that's why he's considered a great top

ps) jax jungle, yorick top, double wriggle supa secret baron @ 18 min it works

[All_That_Chaz]

At level one you only have one spell. Is it really work sacrificing the jungle time just so you can throw out your slow zombie slightly more often? Of course manamune won't be fully stacked until endgame. But I just don't see how blue buff really helps yorick out that much at lvl1-3. It's an interesting idea I guess as long as you have a jungler who doesn't need blue buff and mid wouldn't be better off with it.

Well it's a strategy I wasn't sure if anyone else wanted to try to escape elo hell

I rose my elo from 990 to 1178 by doing that

[C1004A]

isnt <1300 elo hell ;o

[xferrarix]

well i did this for like 2 days straight and rose my elo by nearly 200~300

[Winrar]

Just save yourself and your jungle the time and just zone them effectively, start with boots 2 health pots and 1 mana. Problem solved!

[xferrarix]

What time is being wasted exactly, the only thing wasted is XP but they always give blue away (Shyvana/Lee Sin).. lol when they get their blue at 1:55 you take it by 2:10 and go to lane by 2:15. And when you take blue it's like what 54 gold? Two last hits, so you're getting the gold you lost from around two last hits by the time you get to lane from blue

But I can see why everyone thinks its ~*~*~unviable~*~*~ since it's unorthodox to normal LoL strategies but i just figured since it worked for me i'd say something about it

[C1004A]

carrying retards = hard as FucC

[All_That_Chaz]

I just said it was interesting. You're right that it's a bit unorthodox but what makes it less viable is that if you try to fit it into the current metagame, you limit the champion choices you can make which leaves you open for easy bans and counterpicks.

Tried today, didn't really work until I got the Madreds first stage.
Anyone have any tips to a Jax Jungle? I started with a Vamp Scepter, @ Blue and it was hard to gank with only 200 health...

Actually did it in a ranked for the first time and went 7-4 and won

[Winrar]

Try cloth armor 5 health pots, it gives you a longer sustain

Well I know that is standard, but some champs that jungle can do fine with a Vamp Scepter, And what moves should I do to clear Spots faster? Just initiate and use my Dodge while increasing the passive damage of it and then just finish and move on? Jax is very confusing @_@

[Winrar]

Ask for people to help with wolves and then quickly leash blue for you. I'd probably run over and grab the large golem from the enemy camp to slow him down. Then if top or bot is slightly pushing you'll have an opener for a gank.

[C1004A]

i can't really give you tips but

go watch Crs Crumbzzz jax games

he wins like 80% of them, and he's currently #1 solo queue ranked (2600+)
he's a jungler main, he's been whoring jax lately (past 1-2 weeks) cause he knows jax is really versatile atm



e: lol i'm solo qing and this retard goes like "im lv 3 and i don have smite so u guys jungle" and i'm like wtf?
he replies "my main is banned and im duo queuing with my friend"

that friend is a guy who instalocked teemo top so i just left the game

trolls everywhere -_-

[xferrarix]

I think Jax is heavy hit and miss in jungle

His late game is crazy when you have your build but it's just that his items are so gold intensive and about you getting a lot of farm/kills, kinda reminds me of nasus

[C1004A]

jax's leap and stun is amazing

crumbzz usually likes to camp mid for 2-4 kills if the opponent team is running a strong mid that doesn't have great escapes



edit: are YOU f****ING kidding me. i'm getting matched up with complete bullshit RETARDS that do 4man queue in normal and then feed lux 16 kills, ****ing retards

[Wineandbread]

Someone's a little mad~

Played a game today \o/

Hekarim has insane sticking power jeez
The vlad we were playing against does this really nice juke on me and hek but hek catches up like nothing happened and vlad dies
