I literally forgot top exists in this game

Hi, I'm a jungle player, the role nobody wants to play in it's current state.

I have to confess, and I'm ashamed to say it, I was surprised I had a fifth teammate 15 minutes into the game when looking at the scoreboard.

These preseason changes are really toxic when it comes to priority and jungling. Not only are you behind in levels if you don't gank constantly (thus keeping yourself up to the level leeching lane exp), you also don't get to gank top, as there is no reason to. You just orbit the river between mid and bot, because that's where dragon spawns. And god forbid you're nowhere near when it happens, then you may as well forfeit the game, as dragons dictate who wins and who loses the game.

Herald? I'm sorry, Shelly, but you're too weak right now, there is no point in killing you. You may as well just hang around, talk to the top scuttler from time to time if he actually spawns there and go back home once Nashor decides it's his turn.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people saying the game is trash or something. I just think that the Elemental Drakes were a bad change that forced bot lane priority even more than ever. I don't recall a jungler getting outperformed in ganking by their mid lane, even if it was a roaming one.
