Jungling AMA thread

What's your reasoning to hang around people's lanes and CS? It's something I observe you doing fairly often, for bad or for good.

Well I'll start off with the bad consequences of anyone doing that xD

In general, after a gank - whether its a failed or a successful gank - if safe, I may stick around to grab some EXP before I head off (recall to heal/buy up, or continue jungling). I usually do this if I see I'm close to leveling up (in other words, get enough EXP to actually level up or get enough EXP to a certain point where I can go clear already-spawned jungle camps and level up before recalling). And in today's jungling atmosphere, junglers must keep up in levels or risk being an underwhelming force on the team. But I do my best NOT to gimp the bot lane's EXP or gold income. I can admit that sometimes I have my "dun goofed" moments about this at times, such as accidentally pushing the lane in the process while trying to get a snippet of EXP or two

In certain situations, I may help my team push and attempt to destroy a turret after a gank if conditions allow it.

tl;dr If you're a jungler and want to leash some EXP and maybe a couple of CS from a lane after a gank, stay around briefly enough to get what you need, then roll on to whatever else you need to do. Don't stick around too long and gimp your bot lane.
