Jungle needs more XP, NOT more gold!

bvcderrttyyhjjjk·Mar 3, 2015·4 votes·584 views

I may be redundant with these posts, but honestly I keep seeing the same thing in PBE. Jungle monsters give more gold and more gold and more gold. Junglers DO NOT need more gold! Junglers need more XP so they don't fall behind the support in levels! We just want to be solo lane-like level, so we can gank top without getting melted! We are fine on gold! We need more XP from the camps, understand Riot??

I am a little frustrated that Riot doesn't get this. At every PBE cycle they add gold to jungle camps and not XP. Come on guys, I'm not a game designer, but I would say it's pretty obvious it's not healthy that junglers are same XP level as supports! (unless you are on some insane legendary killing sprree)

B-but supports do just fine with lower levels. Not every jungler is Master Yi...

Supports do fine, mostly because of utility, they don't need the scaling as much. Same goes for a lot of Tanks.

That's why I'm, back to Alistar jungle. He is the only one I can comfortabley make plays with at lower level, because it's all about headbut and pulverise, which don't change much after level 2, except for damage.

Kinda why I mentioned Yi, though I could have been more clear.

Personally, I prefer junglers with a little more utility who can build tanky/bruiser since there less kill reliant than glass cannons or hyper carries. Sejuani and Vi (off-tank build, of course) are my personal favorites.

Still botlane Alistar I usually have more xp that in Jungle, hope that changes with Cinderhulk, should give a boost to that bad early clear.

More gold=more damage= faster clears More damage=stronger ganls= more successful ganks= more pushing waves after ganks + more champion kills Faster clears + pushing more + champion kills = more exp= more levels

the jungle gives even MORE exp than season 4 jungle, and they are going to be weaker.

Idk bout that, I dont recall being a lvl or 2 behind my laners back in s4

To clarify, a single clear of the jungle gives more EXP than a single clear in S4. The respawn times are lower though, so there is a net loss of EXP in the same time of farming.

Be efficient and junglers can be at levels above adc and below solo laners. Just like they have always been unless they were powerfarming the jungle. And lets be honest: powerfarming the jungle should not grant you a one way ticket to be equal with solo laners without any risks.

early to mid I always have same or even higher level than my solo laners, i do tend to farm a lot, mid to late usually i fall behind because at that point everyone feels free to take your jungle and i stay grouped mostly with support while rest are farming lanes and your jungle >_
