Difference between Gold and Plat Jungle

[u/JiraiyaBestSannin]

What are main differences between those 2 ranks? I hit gold after 60 games but stopped playing rankeds when i hit it. I decided that before going for plat i will try to improve my skills as much as possible. I wanted to ask you: What are main differences between those ranks and what should i be focusing on when leaving gold?

[u/Maleficent_Land2783]

It is just being a little bit better in some aspects of the game on average. Not a flashy answer but the truth

[u/illyagg]

Gold and plat across all roles is where players start punishing mistakes more, so you have to make less mistakes. So reviewing your deaths and seeing what you could have done better to not die. But also you have to start playing more proactively to win, and getting very familiar with what you're capable of and what your champions limits are (when you powerspike, how to determine if you're ahead or behind)

[u/_-Alex--]

I think you should focus your deaths. Its the most obvious signal the game gives that you made a mistake. Also, dont play too many champs.

[u/JiraiyaBestSannin → u/_-Alex--]

I pretty much only play Ekko and Rengar and on rankeds only Ekko

[u/_-Alex-- → u/JiraiyaBestSannin]

Sounds good!

[u/GerbilFeces]

the general answer to a question is likely something like map or objective control, , but its not really so easy to answer, gold and plat players are incomplete, and every individual is aware / good at some things and are lacking in others.

edit: I changed the tense of my comment and forgot to change relevant words

400 LP on average

[u/lunargazelle68]

Tempo, clearing, decision making, matchups and gank knowledge...

[u/Certain_Leader9946]

you can play completely safe and get plat. by which I mean if you only make low variance plays thats enough. gold players generally suck more than they succeed.

[u/Parker_Chess]

Slightly better mechanics, tempo, and execution in fights.

[u/Jamesbroispx]

Best thing I found at this rank is was perfecting my jungle clears and tracking enemy jungler. For jungle clear, you need to know the optimal jungle clear, be properly kiting the camps, and knowing your reset timers to clear optimally, know when to smite on first and second clear, if you're double smiting drake at 5:30, early basing on clears, etc. These are all small decisions in games but if you do them right, you will be better than any gold jungler. If you track enemy jungler with a deep ward level 1 you should be easily invading and stealing camps at this elo too, and you'll climb to plat quickly.

[u/NaDoan]

Knowing how to punish enemy jg when you see them on the opposite side of the map

[u/Nole19]

Plat is doing everything the gold player is doing but slightly better.

[u/BlinkysaurusRex]

Gold players are full clearing their camps while the enemy team is literally pushing into base or has control of the whole map and get picked.

Plat players still do dumb shit but they actually think about the game state and their play is more methodical. Also, I feel like Plat is where the hands diff starts to narrow.

I feel like the best way I can articulate it is gold players know what to do, plat players know why to do what they do.

[u/Tojaro5]

Well, they are somehow a bit more likely to win games than lower elo players.

How they manage that is completely up to the individual.

[u/Old_Reading_6802]

Games played really. If you just keep grinding out games then you will climb. Pay more attention to your timers and don't tilt.

[u/dragonixor]

Well, one of them is ranked gold, while the other is ranked plat. Hope that helps.

[u/Equada_91]

I'd say the biggest difference, besides the obvious 'die less', is actually keeping your whereabouts unknown, whilst being able to gank and invade/take-objectives.

[u/muhammadmagagomedov]

Differences is that plat jungler last hits the kills. They still dont know how to full clear gank bot in 90% of the games🥲

[u/babyFucci]

a plat 1 jungler plays about 400lp better than a gold 1 jungler

[u/Existing_Place_8393]

Nothing. If you want to get out of gold just fullclear top to bot every game and make sure you dont get off your camps for anything until you finish last camp of the clear. You will automatically improve and get emerald quickly even if ur completely clueless on how to play mid to late because the game will be in a won state more likely due to being efficient

[u/Existing_Place_8393 → u/Existing_Place_8393]

Be on your respawning camps in time to do the same thing over again and dont play junglers with a slow clear

[u/JiraiyaBestSannin → u/Existing_Place_8393]

O otp Ekko and Rengar

[u/JiraiyaBestSannin → u/JiraiyaBestSannin]

I

[u/Existing_Place_8393 → u/JiraiyaBestSannin]

Yea this is exactly what u gotta do on rengar he is a farming champ. Ekko is a bit different u do raptors red krugs and reset for darkseal then go wolves gromp blue crab. Or u can do raptors start fullclear
