Jungle: If farming can't carry, people won't do it.

Title says it all.

I'm a JG main for 10 years now. I want to have a choice on how I play jungle, but I really don't have one. Remember the trinity of ganking-utility-farming in the jungle and how they all had different strenghts in ranked solo que? Those were the good days. Now I am trying my hardest not to play elise/lee sin/reksai/olaf because I never play what's meta (it's a personality thing), but now that feels so punishing.

RIP JG 2020

My junglers have many choices on how to jungle:

  1. AFK.
  2. Run it down.
  3. Farm only and stare at the camps while their team dies around them.

Nah, jungle died in Season 9 man. RIP Jungle 2019. But it was on the decline for some time before that.

We're just trying to figure out if it has hit rock bottom yet.

And the two junglers with the highest winrates are master yi (53,57%) and karthus (53,43%), (Source op.gg). RIP JG 2020

I mean, I had jungle as my primary role for 3 years, and now when I get jungle I just go for AP Shyvana. I farm up, and hope that my team wont hard feed till I get lvl 6. Most of the time I just get flamed and spam pinged why I am not perma sitting some lane. The Holy Trinity of this game is dead for years now. Look at some champs - Zoe - mega broken and unfun to play againt. High mobility, high dmg, and utility. Free item actives and summoner spells?! I mean like? I want my champs to get such things as well

There is no farming junglers , jungle is meant as a gank role , otherwise there is no point of the role

I keep getting junglers who have shit decision making and obviously can't pick a right time to gank vs farm. Half my problems would disappear if farming became more rewarding because then I wouldn't have to try and carry a deadweight afk farming jungler every match.

I haven't played ranked in years because jungle has been in a slow decline. I mained Sejuani and Shyvana, where Shyvana used to be the master of farming up to 6, being able to secure dragon at level 3 or 4, etc. The meta has slowly shifted away from the farming intensive up to 6 then gank gank gank, and I enjoyed the role less and less. ARAM ftw. At least if the game is a total stomp it's due to being outcomped or being surrounded by idiots/bots in the first 7 minutes, and it's over quickly. I see more entertaining, close games in ARAM than I have in norms this season so far.
