Jungle needs to have a catch up mechanic, full stop.

There is literally no way for jungle to be viable below Challenger unless it's given a catch up mechanic. If one of your lanes is losing, you're completely removed from the game as the fed laner and jungle permanently invade you.

The same applies to the enemy jungle getting fed. If they get a couple of early kills and their lanes aren't losing, they can just permanently invade you. Most times this happens, it's not even because they did anything particularly well, but more likely that they just cleaned up on a dive or two.

You can maintain vision and avoid them when they invade, but because there's no catch up mechanic, you have no way to get back in the game. Every conceded camp/scuttle/buff puts you permanently further behind.

This needs to be fixed.

I'm main jungle myself and I think there shouldn't be a catch up mechanic. However, they shouldn't nerf our exp gains from monsters.

They should buff exp, they shouldn't add catch up exp, it's not nice to be rewarded for play bad.

I am jungle main and I disagree. There shouldn't be a catch-up mechanic. Catch-up mechanic is unfair. That means you can farm your ass off while your enemy is ganking. And when he starts farming he gets more xp from it. There is no catch-up mechanic on lane. If you suck at cs-ing you suck.

BUT There shouldn't be such huge gaps in lvl between roles either! It's unfair that solo lane is 2-3 lvls above me at some point in the game.
