The PBE Jungle Overnerfs, HOLY FUCK...

Blue - XP lowered to 200 from 210 Red - XP lowered to 200 from 210 Gromp - XP lowered to 200 from 210 Little Krugs - XP lowered to 35 from 45 Mini Krugs - XP lowered 7 from 15 Crimson Raptor- XP increased to 20 from 15 Plus, all non-buff camps XP adjusted -25% on first clear compared to live.

They just completely nerfed most junglers back into irrelevance. Junglers who'd reach half-past level 4 after a full clear will be at level 3 after a full clear. Level 6 will be at eight minutes instead of 6 minutes 30 seconds. And the worst part is that the obnoxious junglers like Vi and Hecarim will still be played and just have an even more pronounced lead over the slower junglers like Xin Zhao.

I can already hear the boards rejoicing and saying good riddance. This post is gonna get downvoted to hell. People are gonna rationalize the change as if gutting an entire class is somehow a reasonable response to a few junglers being strong.

Good, junglers have too much influence too soon.

This is an excellent start.

have you even tried jungling? like that shit is a chore. like jungle was already pushing that similiar slavery called support, now this is getting stupid. anyone who mains jungle knows what im saying here right? the pressure of finishing clears so you can be relevant when you gank? and if every lane fucking sucks (no need to sugar coat it) you CANT just scale up in the jungle.

I'm fairly sure it's meant to counter this obnoxious level 2 ganks for the biggest part.

Yet people somehow think it was a buff to Evelynn.

I don't see it.

I don't see it either.

I wonder if they even play Evelynn?

This wont be a buff to her at all, she is heavily dependent on clearing fast and getting levels because the longer she takes to level the less camps she can clear.

While i don't think this will delete eve i do think it will result in the return of some very old desperation feast or famine eve tactics of leash red then go for hard jungle invades every game, or not starting your buff and just smiting the enemy buff over wall.

My main concern is meddler said that those changes were just the tip of the spear for slowing down the jungle and tip will almost killer as it is.

Aatrox Jax Nautilus Sion Skarner Tryndamere Warwick are my junglers. guess what? rather difficult to keep up with the "meta" junglers. riot sure likes to BULLSHIT, saying they dont force the meta.

Has Riot even said they don't force the meta lately? Even the Ziggs APC fad was confirmed by Riot to be something they were technically forcing.

Denims Wrath6661 votes

my point is the non meta junglers just got screwed over.

Cool! Then all my roles will be irrelevant! I already stopped playing toplane, now with jungle becoming irrelevant maybe I can finally become the midlane main I was always meant to be! /s

maybe riot should implement an xp over time passive with the jungle items too. how you ask? simple. make a gold per ten item similar to item 3303 but instead of gold, its xp you gain off of ganks and autos. if you farm any minions (monsters don't count), the passive goes on cd, so no laners besides the SUPPORT can use this item effectively.

I think this is Riots way of beating around the bush because they don't want to nerf the problematic champs(Their Favorite Champs), so they rather just give them a slap on the wrist while the other champs get punched in the face.
