Remember when you could chose what you did in the jungle

You could either farm hard and get your feral flare/devourer stacked up while not applying as much pressure besides farming hard and becoming strong as hell while ganking a little bit or be a gank hard jungler which would gank lanes more often than a farm hard jungle and they would try to get their teammates ahead more than the farm hard jungler would try to. Now you have to gank all the time and don't get punished for it because of catch up xp and monsters giving a shit ton of gold.

I don't know many people who like the jungle in the way that it is and it really is a shame that we have less options than we had before. Also why did riot get rid of smite buffs they would change the way you use smite, want vision control smite raptors, is somebody counter jungling you smite wolves, need a little bit more health smite red buff. Now you have boring ass "oh, im low health better smite a jungle camp". In conclusion I just feel like jungle has become much worse this season and got forced changes when it was perfectly fine before.

These changes aren't for the good, nobody likes them they aren't fun.

Ya well I,dont mimd them so you're wrong there. You probably didn't even know what catch up xp was until two days ago when you watched a YouTube complaining about it so like hundreds of other people you make a thread abiut it.

Just because you dont like it and a few threads pop up does not mean a majority have agreed. You know how many people who play league actually use tye forums?? Not much.

I have heard many big streamers say that they don't like xp catchup as well.

It's not just a jungle problem, it's the way Riot has been changing the entire game with these terrible catch-up implementations.

Catch-Up Experience, Shutdown Gold, Gold Rewards Decreasing for Consecutive Kills.

There are so many terrible implementations that favor the worse player.

I don't necessarily agree with your assessment of the smite buffs though. The wolf giving near permanent vision to blue side was NOT OKAY.

The vision plants are much better. You actually have to make a choice now: By popping this plant, yes I gain information, but I also give away my position.

My only complaint about the current jungle would be the Krugs. Waiting for the smaller ones to "pop out" while the big one dies is such a waste of time for most junglers that they often skip the little ones.

But then the same people come on the forums and bitch that the game is too snowbally.

What exactly do you want ??? An extremely snowball game or some way for people to possibly get back in.

I like snowbally games. I like short games where a team is rewarded for taking advantage of enemy mistakes.

I'm probably in the minority though. :) I see a lot of people asking for longer games... I don't understand it.
