Talk:Ranger's Trailblazer/@comment-26837195-20151013104648

This item should work as a self buff or on enemy champions, so you can use it when there aren't any nearby monsters or minions... The fact it's useless in a duel already kinda sucks as it pretty much tells sustain (so pretty much any mana based mage) lacking champs: "You need Ranger's Trailblazer Runeglaive or you'll die in the jungle, good luck being as useful as the mid laner who already gets more gold, an actual sixth item slot, more EXP, and can gank just as well as you."

I honestly don't know why anyone would pick a mage in the jungle, losing ignite, exp, gold and the safety of a tower. Jungle is pretty much the only elitist role in the game (Even Vayne can support and Soraka can top, but there are some champions that are completely barred from jungling, have you seen a full AP Zilean jungle? Or an AP Soraka jungle?), requiring ridiculous mobility and sustain or being shoved into the suboptimal Ranger-Runeglaive path.
