I think most people force things because their teammates historically have raged about not getting ganks when a good game is not available. Rather than dealing with the toxicity, they choose to gank at inopportune times.

[killzxc]

this kinda content is honestly even better than smurfing
you dont ruin a low elo game and add to the smurfing problem AND you help a random SC subscriber learn the game

[soulcleave]

the best way for a laner to understand this is this: you get to lane, you IMMEDIATLY fight, you get 0 minions, you might, you might lose, but you get 0 cs during that time, and theres a chance you die, or are so low you have to back immediatly and get no cs. and then when you get back to lane, you once again, fight. laners dont understand that ganking isnt what makes a jungler good. it makes clearing the jungle(your minions) and then fight during the time its respawning or in between quadrants (waves).

[niklasgrasshoff]

The amount of delusional comments suprises me. These are fundamentals and will work when you apply them right. For example look at Agurin, probably one of the best Junglers on EUW, this guy always full clears and then looks for opportunities. Instead of forcing plays hes constantly looking and evaluating whats going on on the map. He' s not forcing, he's taking the plays presented to him. And you should do the same, opportunities will present themselvs! I was hardstuck silver too, and once I got over my own mental blocking and applied the fundemtals taught by Skillcapped, Perry, Sinerias, Leo I climbed to Emerald, still sitting between 55-60% wr. That said I only play Shyvanna and Ekko, for those champs clearing camps is crucial. So these fundamentals that are shown in this video extremely apply to those. If you play strong early game champs like Lee Sin these fundamentals still apply but you need adapt to the champs playstyle, as if you are only farming you will loose in the long run.

Another point is this video only featured the first clears of a 30min game. My feeling is many ppl apply early game fundamentals but then loose in mid game. Focus on your strong laners, play for your 2nd item, try to take t2 towers with ur strong laners. Do you know how much Top or Bot T2 tower is worth? 700g! That gold is mostly local so you and your laner get the heavy bag.

[telliellupus]

That expected value gank vs. camps is really eye opening, at least to a non jungle player 👏🏻😅

[razzamellon]

It's absolutely unreal how SkillCapped can release the same video once a month and people still complain that they can't climb.

[Efthimisko]

Nice video as always, but I want to point something out. Although I liked the expected value calculation, when you get a kill you also have to take into account all the other benefits this brings with it. You might not get the gold from the kill, but your teammate will. Also, with the free time they have after the kill they might be able to roam and impact the map elsewhere, get plates they wouldn't be able to get without your gank, or even set up a good recall timing to come back with items and snowball the lane even harder. Additionally, the enemy laner will miss out on XP and gold, getting set even further behind.

My point is, even though you did a good job of presenting the risks and rewards of ganking, the actual real life implications of ganking are not that easy to calculate.

[HiSodiumContent]

Can't wait to apply this in my Co-op vs AI games.

[most-rare]

This video does a good job explaining the concepts of opportunity cost and expected value, even if it's a little reductive.

It's worthing pointing out that the best gank opportunities might be in the middle of your clear, and not during your "down time". Ganks are much more time-sensitive than farming, so always be aware of what's happening on the map.

[evgenykovalev]

This video is absolutely amazing from learning and convincing purpose. Not just explaining strategy, not just explaining mistakes, but also illustrating every possibility branch with real consequencea. Huge props on this approach 👏

[Spacemaaan]

this video is a godsend. i just got back into league a week ago after about 12 years of not playing and i have been stuck as support wanting to learn jungle

[mountieman]

I think a lot of people don't realize that ganking while camps are up is generally akin to roaming while you have a wave in lane.

[scurvysailor]

Best skill capped video by far. Subscribed. I don’t even play jungle.

[kishkay]

Just hit challenger today after a full year of grinding.
Skill capped really works if you actually understand the videos.
Don't watch for the sake of watching, understand the concepts, its basically school all over again xD

[joelwestman]

first impressions, you completely ignored that 225 is only personal gold, it still creates much more value than that. If you count the gold made for your team instead, it's 180 for two camps or 450 for a gank, it's actually 40% to break even.

There's a risk of giving gold by dying too, so I'd estimate it's more like 60% to break even, but point is your initial graph just ASSUMES I don't care about teammates gold at all, and I do, a lot. Your graph also means it's better to farm 3 camps than take a 100% chance gank, which is just sacrificing 180 team gold just so you get 25ish more personal gold.

[jeff]

Nice video, breaking the number values down REALLY helps, most people who make videos make the assumption people already know this.

[kylevon]

Hey, the gain from ganking and getting a kill is not 225, it's more. Why? Because you have to consider the wave that the opponent loses after they're dead and the time they're dead.

[connorh]

i have subscribed to skill capped for over a year now and have gone from hardstuck bronze to platinum 4. Macro is so important. I still have huge overaggression problems but i know i'm getting better

i will say, I am a jungler but they have really good guides for other lanes, like when I tried their "easy sivir adc" and destroyed every so often when i didn't want to play jg

[redvsbluefan]

Only now playing solo or a two man is so great for me bc i can focus on learning the important things

[louis]

Love the mathematical explanation of gank value, dead time etc, also great concept to make a low elo player try your concepts instead of doing it yourself.
