Okay so I'm still learning the LoL ropes and stuff (some of the more obscure terms make me go "lolwut??") but anyways to my point...
Yesterday I was playing a normal match like any other day. We had a jungler and the other team did not. Our Wukong said he'd solo top. But when we began the match he was shocked to see two people in top lane on the enemy team. He started telling us that this 2v1 in top wasn't fair. I told him I see 2v1 in top all the time, but he told me in ranked games its always 1v1 in top lane because every good team has a jungler.
So...my question still stands. Are Junglers required at high levels of play? Or was he just rambling on about nonsense?
