How to beat assassin junglers?
I’ve had this situation come up a lot recently and have lost a lot of games because of it:
Enemy is playing assassin (or just snowbally jungle like briar) and they are clearing opposite of me. They land successful ganks after each of their clears and I am unable to counter gank because I’m across the map the whole early game and their ganks net them kills as they’re playing an assassin while my ganks don’t work every time or end in an assist.
By 10 minutes enemy jungler is 5/0/4 and I am 0/0/2 and my team is saying jg diff.
I do my best to ping when ganks are coming, and I know I could be doing better with that, but surely there must be more I could do. Seems like the only thing I can do is drag the game out until the enemy assassin starts playing late game teamfights badly and we are able to come back. But sometimes my team has already chalked the game up as a jg diff loss before that and gives up.
I’m getting pretty frustrated with these kinds of games and I’m at the point where I might just start playing assassins as well. How do you handle games like these or playing against snowbally assassins?
