Like in any MOBA, jungling is one of the most complex and important parts of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Unite. While top and bottom laners are obviously essential to any team, the person who starts in mid generally has more of a chance to individually influence the outcome of a game. The thing is, this influence isn’t inherently positive. If you&💝rsquo;re a good Zeraora main, you can probably carry most teams to victory. If you have no idea how to play Unite’s big eleౠctric cat though, all you’re doing is dooming both yourself and your teammates to lose spectacularly before the announcer even says “Go”.
Pokemon Unite is more than just “Baby’s First League of Legends,&rdꦓquo; although it’s still pretty simplified compared to its MOBA predecessors. Because of this, “jungling” as it is typically understood is a bit different in Unite. Here, you’re much more capable of heavily integrating with your laners in order to coordinate pushes ꦬand complete objectives - i♛n fact, the only real jungling you absolutely need to do is in the first three minutes of a match.
When you load into a Pokemon Unite match, you’re faced with three possible routes to take: top lane, mid lane, and bottom lane. Two players should head to top, two should head to bottom, and the final player - the jungler - should take mid. Ideally, you’ll be playing a jungler with the mobility necessary for jumping the first wall instead of having to slowly walk around it - think Absol’s Feint, Talonflame’s Acrobatics, or Zeraor🍸a’s Slash.
After clearing out Ludicolo, Bouffalant, and both Corphish, you’ll need to make🌺 the decision to help either top or bottom lane. I’m personally a big fan of straying towards bottom in order to collect any remaining neutral f🐈arms and swing the level economy in my team’s favour. Really, though, all you really need to do is be in a lane for the 8:50 bees, which are the first major factor in implementing a level gap between you and your opponents.
This is where the difference between junglers who know what they’re doing and junglers who don’t starts to become glaringly obvious. If your jungler is off being an idiot instead of helping you take the first bees spawn at 8:50, you’re already running on borrowed time. If your jungler isn’t in bottom lane for♓ 7:20 bees, farming levels for the 7:00 Drednaw, your chances of winning are already markedly lower. If the other team’s jungler hits both bees, does two jungle clears, and kills Dred, the level economy will be so skewed that winning would be nothing short of a miracle. The reason bad junglers are so detrimental to a team is that good junglers can easily exploit that to carry theirs.
I understand the draw to playing a jungler - called Speedster in Unite - because everybody wants to get loads of kills on the post-game scoreboard. Personally, I think 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Unite’s score weighting is p🅰ret♐ty messed up, and I’m always much more impressed by points than kills or assists, but it’s the same in any online game - everyone wants the most kills because they think tꦐhat denotes the best player. In some cases, this is true - I played Greninja in a standard battle a couple of weeks ago and got 25 kills while scoring over 400 points, probably because I was bunched in with a group of people who were new to the game. At higher ranks, though, plays matter way more than scores - and jungling is all about making plays.
Consi📖der this hypothetical example: There are eig𝐆ht minutes left on the clock. You’re in top lane fighting off an enemy push and notice that you’ve got 40 seconds to win bottom bees before taking down Drednaw. You take a wide arc through your own jungle - counter-jungling is risky at this critical point in the game - and pick out Ludicolo, Bouffalant, and both Corphish, landing in bottom with seconds to spare. Instead of diving the bees, however, you wait in the grass until a lone enemy attempts to steal them. Given your higher level on account of having jungled properly to this point, you take them out, clean up the bees, and are able to corral with your team to kill Drednaw while the opponent is crucially missing one of their bottom laners. You are now the highest leveled character in the game by two - nobody can touch you.
Alternatively, you could get greedy and stay in top lane to get two pointless kills while the other team gets Drednaw. The other jungler overtakes you, hunts you down, kills yo꧋u, and sets their team up for victory by leveraging your absence to kill both of your laners and destroy the first tower of the match. Any jungler worth their salt will use this to their advantage and aggressively push𒐪 before the next Drednaw, which they will probably be able to take down single-handedly if necessary. Because one jungler messed up, the other, more capable one is able to easily win the game. It might not seem like much, but every single second of those first three minutes needs to be played with perfect precision or else your chances of winning are radically decreased.
From the first Drednaw on, the game is obviously a bit more open. Junglers now have free rein to roam the map, although doing so is remarkably more difficult if you don’t execute all of your initial duties properly. If 🐽you are higher leveled or on par with the enemy jungler, you should - at least generally speaking - be able to win almost any one-on-one fight, giving you way more options and control. If you’re lower, you need to figure out a strategy to rectify that - and fast. Fortunately, it’s easy to avoid that situation when you bother learning how to play the role.
I🦂 get why everybody wants to be a j꧑ungler - I’ve been in games where even Defenders came into the jungle with me and stole last hit on each farm because they had no knowledge of what they were doing. That’s the issue, though. In most matches, especially at higher ranks, you will always have a jungler who knows how to do their job. Your job, then, is to let them.
Basically, just don’t be that person. Don’t go near the jungle when you have no idea why you’re supposed to be there in the first place. Leave it to the actual jungler on the team and you will win far more frequently - if you’re only going in out of spite, you’re just as bad as all those people who surrender for no rea🐲son. It’s always better to be a decent laner than a bad jungler.
