Can we get a sneak peek at what is planned for 5.5/5.6 regarding the Jungle?

We need to have a discussion about this Riot, because the jungle is absolutely horrible and unsatisfying to play for these reasons.

-First clear is too hard for everyone except vi/lee/reksai/j4/nidalee -lack of sustain means lack of ganks from these "not god tier" junglers -The devourer upgrade has been nerfed into oblivion so champions like XinZhao Nocturne Aatrox Warwick Trundle MasterYi are horrible and can't stay in the jungle without losing half thier hp and dying to a counter gank. Plus, the stack mechanic doesn't ramp up quick enough so vi/jarv/lee win the game before the devourer becomes relevant. -The poachers knife is so horribly bad its not even funny. Skirmishers isn't that good either so you're pidgeonholed into picking trailblazer/stalkers blade.

  • These "blanket nerfs" like raising the cost of machete/chilling smite nerf/price cost for changing the 2nd tier jungle item are KILLING champions like Zac Volibear Shyvana Nautilus Chogath Amumu while not really hurting the god tier junglers

TLDR: This jungle needs fixed ASAP.

Just gotta say, If your first clear has you anywhere lower than three quarters health as Trundle, you really suck playing him.

Also, Cho is still strong as hell, his ganks are just a bit lacking.

What they should probably avoid at the same time as blanket buffs (because if you buff something all the weaker junglers can use, all the stronger junglers just get stronger too)

It would serve them well to just buff weaker junglers themselves (which seems to be their intent based on what meddler has said before) for example Kha'Zix getting his healing on W buffed on neutral monsters.

The only solution is to buff each and every weak jungler, starting with the tank junglers.

They can't nerf the jungle because the good junglers will be even better. They can't nerf the good junglers because then all junglers will have a hard time and then they'll need to nerf the entire jungle. Nerfing is harder than buffing anyways. But since there are so many weak junglers, the buffing process will take a crazy amount of time.

So they are probably just going to remove the jungle after S5 and split mid up into 2 lanes.
