Idk about you, but I actually like jungle changes

These jungle changes, imo, encourages interactivity which wasn't very present as a jungle. Before you could farm your jungle for half an hour and come out strong, but now you need to incorporate scuttle, keep track of enemy jungler, and fight the enemy jungler. Yes it pushes out many tank and farm junglers, but those junglers really have no early game impact which Riot is really pushing (for adcs too in 8.11). It also changes pathing, and encourages invading, and much more skill expressive since the better jungler counter jungles better and has better scuttle control

edit: I'm not saying that it's fair a whole pool of champs are out, but I just think that these changes make the jungle more interactive albeit at a large cost for the playerbase.

So what you're saying is it totally removes a large pile of champs from the game and you don't care because riot isn't pushing that? I guess easy to say when they're not YOUR champs.

That’s funny, because their stated goal and intention do these changes were to cut down on the impact of early game junglers.

Apparently they didn’t do enough testing to realize this just lets the snowball roll even faster.

i hate it for that exact reason imo. i play champs like evelynn, vi, shyvana, diana, irelia (yes, i do irelia jg, and im actually very good with it..well...WAS until THIS crap came along), for example in the jungle. i usually always get the scuttle, and i prefer to farm and gank when neccessary, not 24/7 camping every 5 seconds. But i hate early jg 1v1s and i especially hate invading/being invaded because it never turns out well for me at all. and i hate the fact that now, it forces you to basically kill yourself and forces you to pick champs who have early game advantages like kha udyr, or whatever i dunno. But the one thing ive realized is now jungle is a feast or famine. if you arent ahead and have like a kajillion kills by 15 minutes or so, you are so completly useless and behind 2-4 levels at all times. So this patch is pissing the living hell out of me and really is making me want to uninstall. To my eyes, the jg meta is now a high risk low reward. constantly invade, and take their camps and risk being killed constantly. with this being said you have to constantly invade deny the jungler get ahead all without being killed if you wanna stay ahead and be "decent" in the game, and if you dont, you are useless and you should just exit the game when it happens. because you would be of no help now

To me, they are trying to force us to play professional league of legends. what they are aiming for is litterally what they do in professional league. seriously? rito plz
