Need Help figuring out the jungle play style in S3

Forum » General Discussion » Need Help figuring out the jungle play style in S3 8 posts - page 1 of 1

Hey guys ive been playing smite since beta and i was always a mid/jg main. Mid in S3 is awesome but for me jungle is very weird because of the defensive item change and the new items that make tanks and warriors very good and bulky. So how is jungle gonna be played out now, for the longest time ive been playing warriors and assassins in the jg with high dmg, but now it feels like the assassins should be played bulky also.

PLs help me to figure out the new meta with junglers, ty!

The S3 Jungle meta is a bit wonky as it depends on how well you are associated with your team. When you're doing Jungle now in casuals, the best thing to do is just do Mana and Boars and go to mid and build how you feel. With a more competent team or in ranked, a more favourable thing to do is Mid camps into Mana and allow Solo to clear boars when he needs too. I personally just stick with whatever you can do at the time.

Item wise, like I said it's more of a meh area with speed buff going flying out the window. You might need to build up either or Stone-cutting sword for pen depending on the God you are but don't be afraid of building one defence item.

Hoped this helped!

Speaking of and .
Can we now avoid building boots at the expense of 2 speed items now? It was working for a jungling on the opposing team. That wasn't the first. I saw a doing the same in joust too.

not really as picking boots plus one of those speed items is going to be a common thing now too probably

But you get 50 power from the sword and 25 from the
You have the movement speed AND additional power and an item with a good passive in place of shoes.
Maybe sell boots later for a power/speed hybrid item?
Thats just my thoughts. Could this be a thing?

IMO it's not really worth it on most assassins as they will either use stoen cuttign sword or better in their build (ability based will take HS, basic attackers stone).
Don't forget boots are better at raw stats and are cheaper.

Maybe it would provide you with an advantage over people with only boots, but the 2% isn't a lot compared to the +10% you could be getting.

Oh and don't forget your primary target the adc probably got , fully stacked or being quicker then you for 8% movementspeed.

the only combination of those item that will probably be viable is agaisnt a beefy comb would be hs/stone with
