I don't think so. My chat wheel comes fully equip, in this fine game of dota, with a "> jungling" message. I use it plenty of times as I jungle.
definetly new meta
been seeing sniper jungle in every single game of mine for past few days
It's not because the "fan from valve who actually wanted to create dota on an other engine than blizzard's one" don't fucking know that in dota, it's always has been called wood or forest that it suddently need to be called "jungle" to mimic lol's name
watching the replay
interesting thing, by the 12 min mark your networth was higher than axe's
You're always 2 levels behind throughout the laning stage - don't think it's worthwhile.
I also feel like you should be stacking a camp and clearing it with shrapnel instead of maxing headshot.
In one of the games you maxed headshot but I think extra range is better as you run less and so are more efficient.
Maybe try getting getting 3 levels in shrapnel by level 5 and clearing some stacked camps with smoke + shrapnel and a few clarities.
@LnL how do I get the levels to get shrapnel if I'm wasting all my points in shrapnel? You'll level up at a crawl.
@matrice
I've personally never heard anyone ever say "I'm going to go forresting", but I've been hearing about "jungling" since dota 1.
Honestly it seems like it could possibly work under some circumstances where you want to play sniper but have a full team of carries but are solo so don't give a damn.
In both those games it looks like your team was well equipped to win the game without you and I think under increased difficulty this would not at all be viable.
....still you have to try everything once, or twice.
in both games, you have good gankers / carries, so that you can farm as a sniper.
with good other 4 players, any hero can legit jungle.
Its possible to jungle with headshot... from level 1 with a medium/big camp rotation, if i recall you can get a naked midas ~7 minutes. Not worth it though.
@ fureur matrice
It's been called jungle since dota1 so idk what you're smoking. Unless you think LoL has been around pre-WC3...
Do you go the build where you buy Quelling Blade and attack the medium camp from uphill, (Like in this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTg82LNg-dU) or do you just kite the creeps until they die?
atleast your void in the first game wasn't as sick player as mine was. 6.1k mmr account.
Everyone I know in SEA calls it jungle since Dota 1. Jungler, jungling, etc none of that woods or whatever you guys call it.
Interesting, but probably niche - as viable as Luna high ground jungle or PotM radiant ancients etc.
its been called jungling on w3 dota in european "scene" ever since i can remember and thats like 2004/2005

I just won 2 jungling sniper games, and I've done it before. Is this new meta?
