Jungling in this game has become so boring

Which jungler decides to show up bot lane first often wins the game. You can camp mid and top to your heart's content but if the other jungler is camping bot, they're constantly getting 2 kills, dragons, stronger map pressure since they've taken your bot lane tower and opened up the possibility of baron once bot lane has minion pressure alone.

Bot lane is just too influential in this game and it takes the fun out of any other lane and jungle because at the end of the day, your focus is always on bot lane and making sure you're snowballing it, if not, making sure it's not getting snowballed on. Fuck bot lane.

how is this bad? let's also cry about how flask forces a passive lane and how if you get flask the enemy might as well surrender because they will never harass you past 60% health and how influential it is and shit

I don't know about that, I still see more Lee/Vi than anything else. And according to champ.gg I'm right.

I also see a fair bit of Nid/Shaco/J4/Uydr, Personally I feel jungle's really diverse right now.

That's what I tell the top laners that took ignite instead of teleport and lose lane 1v1 in draft.

I mean, there ain't no dragon up there.

And you ain't teleporting into teamfights.

I've no issues with ignite as a summoner if you're 100% committed to split pushing (a la trynd) or you're focusing on bullying heavily. Outside of that, ignite sucks in top lane. In all honesty, Exhaust would be a much better summoner spell to take if you're electing not to take teleport.

Finally someone gets it.

And the plus side it's easier to gank, so it gives me an incentive to gank for someone with exhaust because of the slow and resistance reduction (great early game, especially against tanks that haven't built defenses yet).

true but i think you forgot to add in the aspect of how solo q works typically it does seem the first jung to gank bot wins but even though your bot goes 0/2 in 5 minutes they still end up being the one with the adc that is 8/3 because of how disorganized solo q is. Also why I hate jungling. You can get your corki a double kill but he'll still manage to fuck up his lead. Shit happens.

im a jungle main, but I don't really think Junglers can complain about stale gameplay. Out of every role in the game, the jungle is probably the most changed thing each season. Lanes get new items, junglers get new items and usually some significant changes to the jungle each season. Honestly think we just need a new competitive map
