I like the new JG

Malfectious·May 22, 2018·2 votes·753 views

It feels like you have to be a good JG again, not just a ganker. You have to have multiple paths depending on match up. You have to mind all of the major spawn timers (including scuttle) You have to either be good with early game skirmishers, or know how to avoid them. You have to know how to counter JG, and pay attention to what the other JG is up to.

I know it hurts a lot of JG feelings that they can't have a super easy start and be a level up on every one. But, it wasn't fair to lanes about to get ganked, and it didn't make sense.

JG 8.10 is going to separate the wheat from the chaff...

That's fair sentiment. Good points and reasoning too. I happen to agree, at least partially and I have an open mind about the subject.

That right there is a non-starter. The moment you decide to bash people who would disagree with you and imply that they have entitled and selfish beliefs and are childish and beneath you is the moment you lose any respect in my eyes - and probably in other people's eyes too.

Don't shove words in peoples' mouths, don't strawman opposing arguments. It only makes you look like you couldn't make a successful argument by fighting fair so you resorted to dirty tricks.

Snarky and misguided post.

You can still get the same levels. It's just a different pathing.
Your post completely ignores how specific champs interact with the changes, assuming they all can path the same or deal with the changes in XP/lack of kit (some require 3 skills to clear effectively, or are on the verge of death by then).
Junglers who haven't learned the new pathing or aren't champs who can do it, are not the same level as lanes; They are 2 levels behind them.

I honestly don't know how you can even try to justify that one.

Thanks for the evaluation. It doesn't seem like you spend much time reading threads on thh boards? I'm not putting words in people mouths, and I'm not bashing.

Every 5th thread or so is someone e complaining about the state of the JG. Feeling are obviously hurt...and a lot of those complaints are about not having an easy time in the early JG phase.

I will admit, it sounds a bit snarky...I've been at work for 13 hours or so. I guess my phrasing could have been better.
