User blog comment:Odisseas25/You want blue? NOPE/@comment-8709779-20130506150031

here are the reasons you take blue instead of your mid laner:

1. Mid's feedin, HARD. if you think you can go 0-3 and still deserve blue buff, then you are INSANE

2. your mid goes back when blue comes up. look buddy, I'm not leaving any buffs on the map while I wait for your ass. the timer's been up bro, check it!

3. somone else can use it more effectively. sorry Katarina players, being mid doesn't guarantee you access to blue buff, if my top Jayce could get more use out of it, guess who gets it? I've given blue to supports sometimes, but if I'm playing a mana intensive jungler like Malphite or Skarner, I'm takin that blue

4. you don't respond to ping/chat. I'm not sitting there for 20 minutes getting smacked in the face because you're taking your sweet time getting that last CS in lane, thats my blue now. I'm not gonna go back just because I got too low from sitting there and getting pummled.

now, here are some reasons to not not give mid blue

1. they die ONCE. chill bro, its one death, you can recover from that, maybe that blue will give them the chance to get back in the game. don't be a dick.

2. they took the big wolf/wraith and put you behind. OOPS. accidents happen, no mid laner in their right mind would want to put their own jungler behind on purpose, it was an accident, GET OVER IT. if you ask nicely and don't accuse them of setting you behind, maybe they will WILLINGLY GIVE IT TO YOU.

3. I'm ______, who needs every blue to be effective. now I know I said before that I would take it if I were a mana intensive jungler, but I really only do that if my mid is breaking one of the above rules, or has given me the ok to take it.

4. you don't like the guy. HOLY CRAP THIS ONE IS ANNOYING. mid yelled at you cuz you fucked up a gank, BIG DEAL. grow up you big baby. maybe your mid will like you more if you give them the blue and a decent gank. this person is your team mate, so just try to be nice to them.
