Does anyone else experienced a sudden rise in players choosing a CP joule in the Jungle?
As someone who mains support and have over 1000 wins, I am a good at my role, but I can't for the life of me do anything when my jungler goes CP joule. If played by a total expert I guess it could work, but she is usually very squishy and rendered useless after missing her attacks once. There is no way to keep that player alive long enough, let alone the laner.

I noticed this trend after the last 1.19 patch or so, I am currently rank 7 and have been steadily losing matches mostly due to players choosing this path.

I can't find a way to support effectively in matches like this, not even with Katherine as my main. I could do it with Lyra, but she gets banned all the time lol

For cp Joule as jungler u have to play a roamer that can help Joule line up her Ultimates and B's, such as Phinn and Catherine, who can pull and keep the enemies in range (Phinn) and silence the enemies so they cant stun Joule during her Ult (Catherine)

yes of course but I have not played with a CP jungle joule that even thinks about using her beam. they die before they use it a lot of the times. For some reason these are very inexperienced players somehow...

If you want to play CP Joule well, get your roam to put them in a position where you can ult them all at once so your WP laner can burst them down.

I think CP Joul's not too bad... Her ultimate is game changing, and as long as she jumps at the right time and at the right target, she can be quite lethal.

You need to play lance with her and not **** up your gythian wall. I play with tons of cp joules who instalock. You just have to be godlike with lance then the game is ez.

If you're playing draft, where players can get banned, perhaps you should try discussing coordination. You have have to be in a full party of 3 to be in a draft. So I'm a little confused about how you can be in a draft where Lyra gets banned, but be paired with awful players. The point of a party is better coordination.

That aside, I solo queue a lot so I never know what I'm going to get. I also play support role most of the time. With Joule I've had a lot of positive outcomes pairing her with Ardan. You can buff her with his Vanguard, give her an escape or conversely give her a fish in a barrel scenario with Gauntlet. Plus with Ardan I can play more of an offensive style of support so we can burst the enemy down before succumbing to the shortfalls you are talking about.
