Best jungler? :: Page 3

Sorry I wasn't keeping up to date with the thread.

Jordenito, before I start, I'd like to define a term real quick.

CC is crowd control, dating back to MMORPG's, for anything that causes loss of control in one or more factors.

Soft CC is something that hinders movement or hinders action, but not both.

Hard CC is something that hinders both movement AND action.

Thus, Mesmerize and Stuns are hard CC, but Roots, Slows, and Silences are soft CC. This is what I mean by thanatos has no hard CC. And a hard CC on only an ultimate is meh, *especially* in the teamfight phase.

On to the rest of the points.

He has damage. I have never disputed that. His death scythe will destroy someone if it connects. But how are you expecting to get point blank? Yes he has a decent speed up, but remember old Kali? She had only a speed increaser too. And it was *horrible*. She had no decent way to close ground because she had to run head first at someone. Additionally, anyone with an escape (Backflip, Path of Flame, , etc) will escape because he can't catch back up. Also I disagree with the velocity on Death Scythe but I don't know how to look it up so I'll digress on that. And his ultimate is highly overrated in soloqueue. It's actually not that terrifying because it's easy to juke and dodge, and it's actually pretty slow. You have more than enough time to get to your tower. Worst comes to worst buy aegis or combat blink and GG.

I would absolutely positively never give him a 10/10 early game. This basically means he's the best early game ganker in the game, which he just simply is in no way shape or form. Ne Zha, for as meh as he is, is better, so is Tyr, Nemesis, even Thor, and Bastet. As a matter of fact, most of those people duel him, too.

I'm not saying Thanatos is garbage, although many people would agree with it (DMBrandon, a 3v3 tournament multi-time champion, and consistent jungler in soloqueue and 5's, has absolutely trash talked thanatos on many occassions, but that's besides the point), but I'm saying he's not the best by a long shot.

Especially talking about all-around strength. He's got damage. He's got...sort of...gap closers. But he is not the best *all around* jungler. He's sort of the best pubstomper. Although I'd contend Nemesis gives him a run for his money.

Lol, those 2 arachne votes xD

Can't we just agree to agree on that Odin = best god? :)

Lol, need to try him more though :P
Went 3-6 and 2-1 the only times I tried him jangle.

Isn't that proof enough, even a scrub like you can go 2-1 with him!? Kappa

Hahahahahahahahahaha that's a good one. Too bad I can't give you more rep

I'm not the best at the game, but I do jungle pretty frequently. I don't think there currently is a god who can be referred to as the "best jungler" in the game. I think some junglers are the best at different points in the game/jungling objectives, but not the best as a whole.

I suppose the same can be said about every position thou.
