Jungle Coaching: AVOIDING FORCED GANKS, COUNTER FARMING, AND PHOENIX PUSHING - Smite

[@cainbailey8879]

I hope this becomes your most watched video. Everyone seems to struggle on Phoenix pushes that aren’t completely dumpstering or just playing bad people. I love all the content you put out, and stream, but this is a huge W for the community, outside of the leagues. Thanks Weak3n, learned a lot.

[@aba192]

This is beyond awesome, dude.. Anyone attempting to play jungler should be watching this. It's a role I seldom take on because of inexperience and not knowing what to do at all times but this helped a lot in conjunction with just watching your usual jungle gameplay, I know these are long vids and take some effort, but I really enjoy these tbh, thanks!

[@cheez4079]

Even for someone on the enemy team, this video helps alot! Really like this content weak3n, hope you do more of this.

[@PicturingOurPast]

Dope. Many things I saw myself doing and will now see you throwing your hands up in a pre-rage to help me stop the bad.

[@wyattmann7248]

I love that you straight up rail this guy on his mistakes. Not that it’s anything personal, but to make him a better player. I just started playing smite a couple weeks ago. Been watching your videos and have learned a lot. Especially from this video!

These coaching videos are always so helpful in illustrating what I need to be thinking about while I'm in game. Great content bro

[@lostsurferjames5]

This video is great, learned so much from seeing the player's mistakes but it also let me test what I do know and how quick my awareness is by comparing what my "call outs/tactics" were to your teaching points. I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I picked up in real time.

[@paintedsnyper]

I've been waiting for this thank you

[@bcount1]

I was bronze forever. Finally made it to gold by just watching you vids!! thxs

[@TheAshuar]

Love your videos!!!!! You have helped me be a better player!!! I went from half ass knowing anything to already knowing who's okay what role and how I can counter. My jungle need work lol that's whybim here too but I enjoy your raw way you talk and you have no filter. Keep it up!!

Definitely make more if these. You're definitely helping out my late game. I always have a great early game but I always have trouble in the late game (even if my team refuses to group up).

[@steff.blomstrand1809]

Second Coaching video i have seen now love your effort and very useful info given, you spoke about everything i would've and way more. Thanks for this vid man, also i feel his last push had potential but he used his 2 after his freeze instead of his ult then wall after cd and then 2, besides he used his 2 on the tankier gods (Baron funny enough and Athena) whereas if he really needed to use his 2 on something rather use it on the Hachi and Ah puch which in my opinion could've turned this fight into a Deicide against enemy team but other than that it was a good try. Also love doublej's stuff a lot too.

[@Cryster99]

For me when I jungle (the few and far between times that I do) I struggle in early cuz I often don’t know when and where to rotate into lane for ganks and counterganks as opposed to invading as opposed to farming etc. it often feels like it’s my fault if my teammates play really far up and get picked or aren’t being aware. So the pointers in the early about recognizing where they’re gonna be by using your own timers is huge.

[@tangikuu]

O we want some more! This may be a lot of work, but would you mind doing a vid on maybe the top 3-5 Junglers that just introduces us to the basic combo for a Gank - or in other words how to initiate the Ganks for them? I think that'd help a lot for me. Some gods I just don't really know what I should be doing when I identify the right Gank Opportunity. TY, bro! Keep up the great content! AND I'm excited for your SPL Roster! I'll be gettin' that badge!

[@Yuras649]

Jeah Jungle and Support are really the hardest roles to Excell good.

[@scholl5360]

Ray Itsuka support isn’t that hard imo

[@NightHawk1041]

It actually is. Jungle requires very good communication and a mastery of pathing. God Knowledge is also key. Support requires the same thing, along with key timings because of your precious CC.

[@GhostHyperhex]

Also support requires knowledge of active timers, your team's potential damage vs their team's potential damage. This coincides with knowing "should I get aggressive for a pick? Are we able to get a pick? Or should I play passive for X God to attack and burn his stuff". On top of that, you gotta know whether it's better to poke one person and burn another's actives or to get a kill on another. Hint: Depending on the situation, one guarentees and objective and the other gives it risk. Playing support isn't as cut and dry as people ignorantly think at high levels

[@GhostHyperhex]

@@scholl5360 read what I said

[@scholl5360]

I feel like the smite community is one that is least likely to ever improve. I see people constantly that are very high player levels that still make stupid calls/blame others for misplays/act as though they have no understandings of gods/or just outright feed their asses off.

[@fierce812]

Love this video, hope you do more in the future!

[@arnoldpalmer4176]

Hey man I know you read these comments I just wanted to say that these are great. I know you studied business so I was wondering if it would be worth it for you to lower the initial cost of coaching in order to pump out more of these. (Assuming this gets a lot of views and people watch all the ads in the video) I think a large majority of your followers really enjoy this, and would like to see more, but it’s sort of contingent on a big baller donation haha. Keep up the good work.

[@Weak3n]

I think if I needed to do them that badly I would just coach subscribers videos honestly. To me though $25 for an hour+ of work is really low in terms of what I could be doing. $50 for a really long video such as this. I will keep it in mind

[@arnoldpalmer4176]

Weak3n sounds good my dude! Can’t wait to check out stream later. Also, you’re right about the hour long video. This was extremely thorough and useful. I apologize if I came across as dismissive to the amount of work you put into these. I was saying that if this video became highly successful (I think it is and should) then it might be worth to pump out more of these. Then again, it would be easier just to use your own videos if you post the same numbers.

[@Weak3n]

Na i like hearing input. An outside perspective helps me grow.

I'm confused at one point you said wu kong should be pushing mid while the rest the team pushed right but then you said that wu kong shouldn't be pushing mid ever unless you meant in that moment. Just confused

[@americas_soldier1490]

Im not sure if you answer these comments but when i go in to play support, i buy 2 wards at the start and place them once the jungle camps spawn. i place one on their side by the middle harpies and i place middle jungle right next to duel lane. Is there a better place to put these assuming that i have a good jungler? Based on what you said about baka ganking early, i figured those wards i usually place would give a chance at a good early invasion.

[@reannalee1698]

Weak3n you look like the guy from Cardi bi's I like it like that video.

[@Weak3n]

[@notscorchingsands9718]

I just can't jungle its not for me. The other four roles i'm ok atleast. I thought i would cause in paragon (RIP) i loved it. But being a tank is fun in solo and support so im over it.

[@AAAA-dw9gb]

It's a difficult role to excel in because you have to be able to quickly diagnose where the enemy jungler is at all times, plus you need to have great positioning

[@Meitti]

Support is arguably "2nd jungler" because you always have to be there when a teamfight happens, especially around objectives. After you hit level 5, get your boots and your starter item stacks done, then you basically play a lot like a Jungler. Except you don't chase kills and you ward slightly more than Jungler does. But you gank a lane where enemy player has overcommitted the exact same way jungler does.

[@AAAA-dw9gb]

@@Meitti You also have to (usually) be the one that initiates fights, which can be difficult to execute well

[@Meitti]

@@AAAA-dw9gb Execution is easy, surviving and continuing afterwards is the tricky part. You got that one stunlocked and he either beads and ran, or died. Now what? Do you have to run away because you're low health? Do you keep tanking the Phoenix? Or are they trying to destroy your backline so do you have to start peeling instead? Thats the hard part because theres so many things you have to do as support in a teamfight, preferably without dying if possible.

[@Uriakatos]

46:12 "You're just not blinking far enough but it's fine shit happens" Dude. This guy's blinks gave me cancer. It's not shit happens if he consistently blinks 1 step forward. Worst blinks I've ever seen.

[@BasedChadman]

Nothing to really roast, but I hope this video helps you understand the game better and excel more as a jungle. Your positioning is the single most important thing, especially when the enemy team outnumbers you. The way you played Ymir here was very unsafe, especially seeing as he has no escape options. I'd take a top tier god into the jungle role to get more acquainted with effective farming, pathing, and positioning.

[@colegerard809]

please can i get a discussion here... seriously the explanation for the speed to blue to back xps was not a good enough explanation/reason as to why you would make a detrimental decision to rush blue after speed... are you not effectively back tracking like you said yes you clear at about the same time yet you force solo laner to decide to i want to miss some of the wave to split my blue or miss the blue xp all together... if the other jungle does the basic speed to xps to blue the solo laner is automatically ahead assuming they know what they are doing... yes it may give you a half a second advantage if any at all but it is detrimental to the solo laner

[@AMerexican787]

As long as your solo knows what start you're doing they shouldn't miss anything, they just poke the melees and enemy solo and let the wave push. The biggest reason is it makes the second loop more efficient and makes it harder to invade your backs since the timer is different.

[@colegerard809]

@@AMerexican787 ty for the insight... but... when does the solo rotate back to split the blue... they wont have the whole wave cleared in time for the solo to get the assist from blue n wave... n if its the optimal way to do it then the timers shouldnt be diffrent... and you should already have your backs cleared before your speed spawns anyways

These coaching vids are good because you can watch them again and again. Because you are totally right and its probably better for people to work on one thing at a time until they move on to learning the next. First build then pathing and movement then maybe how to stay more aware. If you try and do it all at once its easy to get overwhelmed and simply learn nothing.
