Just wondering if any jungle mains are actually enjoying this season? I personally don't enjoy this season its the worst since junglers were secondary supports in season 2. Anyone like this current season for jungle?
No, it's the worst meta I've ever seen. Riot's balance team needs to get to work and fix problems now. Lee Sin is not OK. Kha'zix is not OK. Lethality as a stat is not OK. Graves is not OK. 50% of junglers being so weak that they can't even clear the jungle properly is not OK.
These are all problems which Riot needs to fix which affect the jungle as well as the game itself. They're all massively detrimental to game health and until they're fixed the game just won't be fun at all.
Hell. No.
Its not even the junglers themselves.
It just feels awful IMO. Jungling was never a chill role but it felt like a reasonable one where the jungler can do their camps quietly, help a lane, and walk away without being totally useless... now its an irritating struggle doing raptors, a length endure doing krugs, and if you don't get a kill or assist in the lane you gank you're going to be a level or 2 behind the enemy jungler always.
Jungling isn't any "fun" anymore, its actually a chore, and although jungling was awful in season two, it was reasonable and felt like you're playing a video game, now I have more enjoyment trying to wash dishes without getting my hands dirty than "playing" my main role.
(edit: I edited this post about 6 times before refreshing)
Not in the least.
The difference between certain junglers is massive, you are pretty much forced to camp bottom lane and tank junglers have been forced out due to slow clears and weak dueling.
Also, farm-oriented junglers are pretty much gone. Games snowball extremely quickly at the moment, so if your early ganks don't succeed (or you don't find any opportunities), you are screwed.
To fulfill my apparently-present sense of masochism, I have begun maining the support role.
It's more a chore than anything now.
Doesn't help that they practically rebuilt the jungle for annoying tank/fighter/diver/bruiser monsters like Vi, Shyvana, and Zac so any other off-junglers don't even have a chance to kill raptors.
Those plants are so fucking annoying, especially the blastcone. I used to play Taliyah, Sol, and Zyra in the jungle. Not anymore. I can't even play Kindred in this new jungle hell.
I'm glad to see other junglers just aren't enjoying it anymore. With enough support / talk about how it is boring bland and lame maybe they will put the fun and skill difference back into it!
Graves with full Lethality? HELL YEAH, free elo.
i played jungle since season 3, this season I'm taking a break and just focus on support.
it used to be ok with tank junglers now the ability to completely crush them with counterjungling
is through the roof. those are just 3 prime examples from what im talking about.
1 proper counter in the jungle effectively shuts you down for the next ten minutes its complete bs how rewarding that crap is
edit: season 4-5-6 were actually really good seasons to jungle you felt in control.
all that effort that went into the role got ruined by season 7.
No.
This season and last season alike are a spastic sh*tfests imo, Riot keeps emphasizing/buffing all the aspects I dislike about this game and nerfing/removing the ones I like, so I stick to bot games for the first win and rarely bother playing beyond that.
