In the competitive game "Honor of Kings", the jungler position has always been one of the most important roles in the team. A smart jungler can not only provide the team with great output and control, but also make the right decisions at crucial moments to win matches for the team. Therefore, the key to judging whether a player is smart when jungler is looking at two places: map awareness and resource allocation.
First of all, map awareness is a clear sign of whether a jungler is smart or not. In the game, the map is the key to changing the tide of battle, and junglers need to keep an eye on the map in order to react correctly at the first time. Smart junglers usually start the game with a clear anticipation of the enemy's movements, choose the appropriate jungler route, and keep an eye on the enemy's jungler movements in order to counterplay or support other lanes if needed.
For example, let's say that at the beginning of the game, the opposing jungler chooses a strong clear field hero, and our jungler chooses a hero with strong invasion ability. Smart junglers will choose the red and blue jungle areas of the opponent's jungler at the beginning of the game to invade, and strive for more development advantages for our team by interrupting the rhythm of the opponent's jungler. Unintelligent junglers may choose an overly conservative jungler route and miss a good opportunity to counterattack, resulting in an advantage in the early development of the opposing jungler.
Secondly, resource allocation is also a key factor in judging whether a jungler is smart or not. In Honor of Kings, resources include gold, experience, and various buffs. Smart junglers will allocate resources in the game to ensure that they and their team members can develop quickly and improve the strength of the entire team. Depending on how the situation develops, they will be able to adjust their jungler routes to better assist other lanes and ensure that the team has the upper hand when it matters most.
Taking resource allocation as an example, let's say that in the game, our ADC needs to complete the equipment as soon as possible in order to output higher damage in the later game, and our jungler chooses to give the red buff to the ADC after defeating the mobs. Such a decision can effectively improve the survivability and output ability of the ADC, and win more advantages for the team in the later team battles. Conversely, if a jungler chooses to keep the red buff to themselves and ignores the need for ADC, it may cause the team to underoutput in the late teamfights and not be able to defeat the opposing team.
In this regard, it is not only necessary for the jungler to have a deep understanding of the game, but also to have a good sense of teamwork. Smart junglers are often able to allocate resources fairly and reasonably, without sacrificing the interests of the entire team for personal gain.
According to the classics, just like the ancient military thinker Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "Smart junglers need to have a deep understanding of their own hero characteristics and strengths, and at the same time, they must also be familiar with the opponent's jungler hero selection and playstyle, so that they can quickly make correct judgments and reactions in the battle. Only on the basis of an in-depth understanding of the game can you be comfortable in map awareness and resource allocation, and achieve more advantages in the battle situation.
In addition, in the game, junglers also need to be good at taking advantage of various opportunities and resources in the game. For example, after defeating an enemy hero, a smart jungler will immediately realize that they can further consolidate their advantage by defeating the monsters in the opponent's jungle and taking the opponent's resources. Unintelligent junglers may choose to return to the city to replenish their equipment after defeating the enemy hero, wasting an excellent resource utilization opportunity.
In general, judging whether a player is smart when playing in the jungle requires a comprehensive consideration of both map awareness and resource allocation. A smart jungler is not only able to grasp the overall situation on the map and make informed decisions, but also can allocate resources wisely to create more advantages for the whole team. In actual games, we can judge the level of a player's jungler by observing their behavior and decision-making, so as to better understand their IQ and tactical level in the game.
