Yeah, when you have 10 kills and 150 cs at 20 but you are the same level or even behind solo lanes with like half the kills and lower cs then something is wrong

This. Whenever I play jungle I feel like it's an achievement when I'm the same level as a solo laner.

This has been so since late season 8. Junglers have been enjoying very fast queue times for quite a while now, even faster than support.

That happens when riot shit stomps an entire role into the dirt because certain people cries so loud everyone heard it.

I mean what was the last new champion that was a jungler?

There are only like two jungle champion options that have impact in the event that their laners are terrible. Laners are usually horrible, so unless youre playing Lee or Eve, its likely youre going to have a really bad time. So people dont really play the role right now.

Eve is extremely bad if your team is bad. You can't stop people invading you and the enemy team always collapse first, give up all scuttles and can't 1v1 meta champions pre 6.

Lee Sin is good because he is a strong 1v1 duelist even pre 6 but at the end of the day both of them are extremely bad at 1v5 so if the enemy team groups early, which it should be the case if they are winning lanes, then you can just watch them end the game when you can actually do almost nothing except maybe trading your life for one of them if you are lucky, but then if your team is bad it straight loses the 4v4 anyway.

The point is that they can impact losing lanes because of how effective their early game is. Whereas no other junglers can do anything about losing lanes, or unaware laners, except watch them lose, and as a result-lose themselves. Maybe not Eve, idk if her buffs came with this patch or the upcoming patch-but once those buffs hit, she'l be there with Lee, if she isnt already.

or, maybe just Lee, in which case. Thats why noone wants to jungle, because Lee is the ONLY viable solo que jungler.

Lee can help losing laners early game, but if your team has really weak lanes and they get pressured/killed and you are playing Evelynn then you are pretty much gonna get invaded and collapsed often putting you behind because your team can't or don't want to help. On the other hand it's much harder to invade a Lee Sin.

If you play Eve and your team is bad then it's going to be extremely hard to help them, unless the enemy team is just trying to farm KDA and not using their lead properly.

In the current meta Eve has the worst early game where she can't kill anyone 1v1 unless they are already half HP.
