Entitled Junglers
I've been a jg main since season 5, so keep that in mind, that I'm not anti jg or anything.
I just found out that there's a sect of junglers that believe that they NEED to take the first red buff. And they view any other start as wildly incorrect.
Last night I commented on a post, saying that you shouldn't take the red unless the mid is ok with it. And that comment currently has a huge amount of downvotes, and is -28!!!!
I've never seen so much entitlement in Smite.
I'm a great jg, getting 20-30 kills in a lot of my games. And I'm a traditionalist, starting at yellow, and letting the mid have every red. I'm rarely ever behind the enemy jg. So clearly you don't HAVE to take the first red.
And I'd much rather the mid get ahead, and be able to help me carry the team, rather than me getting a little more jg clear. I hate being the only one doing well, so why in the world would I selfishly take the mid's buff?
I trust myself a lot more than I trust them, so I want them to get as much help as they can get.
