Aug 15, 2014 at 2:19 comment added Zaenille Well, taxing ~10 minions is too much. :)) Anyway, our best long-term option is to coach them while gaming, which is what I'm doing with my smurf. :D Granted, not all of them will listen, but at least I've tried.
Aug 15, 2014 at 0:57 comment added slow_excellence I did put a little too much emphasis on that and I do agree with you mark. The only reason I say that is because I've had tons of junglers screw up waves of ~10 minions while I'm in lane only to last hit 1 or 2 of them, or they tax after taking a kill I've secured. Either way I try to avoid taxing when I jungle, the most I'll do is freeze at river or push for the turret. A lot of this is situational and I didn't elaborate enough on my side. Sorry about that!
Aug 15, 2014 at 0:38 comment added Zaenille There is a right way of taxing, and a wrong way. Junglers who make a successful gank don't need to take the whole creep wave after that. Now it's the inverse, you're (the jungler) putting your teammate (mid/whatever lane) behind now. Sources : Diamond 3 Support main
Aug 15, 2014 at 0:37 comment added Zaenille I disagree with @slow_excellence with the imperative "DON'T TAX THE LANER" thing. Taxing is important to keeping the jungler's exp and gold levels at par with everyone else. The jungle gives his/her time to gank your lane to help you out. If the gank is successful, then taxes aren't necessary because he got his time's worth. If a gank is unsuccessful, 1-3 creeps is a fine tax to pay. Because if you don't, you're just leaving YOUR OWN TEAMMATE (I repeat, YOUR OWN TEAMMATE, THIS IS A TEAM GAME), very much behind.

Aug 14, 2014 at 19:23 comment added ZeroStatic @Almo I agree when it concerns really bad laners. When writing that down I wasn't merely thinking about unskilled players though, but bad champion matchups in general. I guess I could've made that a little more clear.
Aug 14, 2014 at 19:19 comment added Almo I would only comment that a really bad laner probably doesn't even know what "freeze the lane" means, let alone be able to do it.

Aug 14, 2014 at 18:50 comment added slow_excellence Just want to mention one thing that really irritates me. DON'T TAX THE LANER. It happens to me all the time and is incredibly annoying. My jungler will just walk through and gank horribly then force my lane up (I like to freeze just before turret in most cases) and take/screw up an entire wave. The only time its "ok" to stay in the lane is if you're pushing to take the turret, outside of that let us farm :)
