Re: League of Legends

I build manamune on Yorick so I don't really have mana problems. If the jungler's giving away the blue buff, shouldn't it go to the AP mid?

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

Re: League of Legends

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)

Re: League of Legends

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

Re: League of Legends

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.

Re: League of Legends

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

Re: League of Legends

Re: League of Legends

Re: League of Legends

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

Re: League of Legends

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

Re: League of Legends

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

Re: League of Legends

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 @_@
