why do they jungle ?

Pred: should not jungle, whatever you say. he is just so stronk in the lane. it's just that people suck.

Warbeast; on the other hand, has very low lane presence, and has summon able units, perfect for jungle.

If you jungle pred youre bad, if you lane WB its likely youre bad. WB needs the jungle so he can come out at ~20 minutes with a skull, boots, and a bkb and push rampantly while being unkillable in team fights.

[SirSlayerson]

warbeast can solo lane or jungle or get supported.

He is level and farm dependant, so he needs to be supported if if he lanes by people pulling creeps and so on so that he gets a good farm and levels.
He is also great for pushing.
Warbeast can be countered in lanes as easily as he can in woods though, as he lacks a stun / slow and relies too much on his ultimate.

Pred should never ever jungle

15 min in jungle with WB + 1-2 kills = win

if you lane WB its likely youre bad

If you can secure a lane for WB to farm in (ie, 2v1 against enemy suicide lane), that usually is going to be the better option until he gets a bit of gold and can farm a (by this time hopefully) stacked jungle, which should result in an overall better result gpm wise (plus less susceptibility to ganks, since a laning WB is more likely to receive timely TP support).

Not that a jungling WB is bad though.

Yknow...i've never tried a laning war beast maxing his passive and war cry...might work

You'd still wanna max wolves to be able to clear jungle, followed by a timely Kongor.

[[Mana]Farosarg]

His wolves are still pretty good in lane, once they are max level you can use them to harass. They hit pretty hard but sadly not as hard as Lycan's so it's not as effective.

[BlazingStorm]

Preda shouldn't jungle. He can jungle and it's even easier to jungle with him than WB, but he shouldn't cuz a jungle preda takes too long to be usefull for the team.

Warbeast should jungle. He's probably the most difficult jungler, to jungle with, but it's better that you jungle with him. He can't slow or stun, so he's an easy target. You could take mid with him, but... not the best option.. there're way better mid heroes. By jungling you can rush Rott, you can still use warcry on your allies, so... no point of him lanning.

Finally, i don't think you can even compare predator to warbeast. They're way different types of heroes.
Predator is an anti-tank and he's pretty tanky himself, and deals lots of damage.
Warbeast also deals lots of damage, but he's not tanky. He's a pusher.

You guys need to try warbeast mid. It is so much fun to see the other players reaction when your hitting 100+ at lvl 2...

E: ofc max your passive + cry if your laning. It is actually very viable against some melee heroes.

You can put Warbeast anywhere but you generally want him to have the highest farm he can get. Sometimes it's the jungle and sometimes it's somewhere else. If you can secure a farming lane for Warbeast he can start farming the jungle with his wolves relatively early while still farming the lane and against a weak lane he can take kills/towers pretty easily.
