Civil Jungle displeasure (no rage)
I didn't play season 8. Left back after season 7 ended. Just returning. Played about 20 games so far, terrible win rate. Some my fault, some my teams, but mostly the changes to jungle. Why? Well here is what I have observed. I dunno how effective jungle was in season 8 to warrant such nerfs, but these nerfs do more than make jungle "harder". With no way to catch up besides kills (farming to catch up is a joke now) - the snowball, which always effects these games - is OUT OF CONTROL Especially with so many champs that can 1 shot. It takes much longer to hit level 3 and have a decent gank. When you do gank, all the lanes are typically at least 1 level higher. Giving a jungler a SLIGHT disadvantage really doesn't make since. Also, not sure what has changed to towers and inhibs since season 7, but they feel like glass late game after the panel things wear off. So, one fight, and enemy team bull rushes and wins. I used to see comebacks in games. Now, the enemy team snowballs so hard because all the farming you do and turtling you do gives you very little gold, very little exp. The game does not feel fun to play at all. Even playing a tank I get chunked hard. An I watch as teammates get quite literally 1 shot by everything. (If they don't have a movement ability) An so the game is starting to feel a little like Smite to be honest. Where all the "gods" there who don't have a leap, a dash, something aren't viable. All the new champs and reworks are giving more an more champions movement skills. Which is FINE However, that makes junglers jobs even harder to secure kills. On top of now leveling at the pace of bot lane supp lol. I'm at the point where I'm going to give up on jungle till changes are made to make it enjoyable to play again. Rewarding to play. With a variety of styles. The snowball needs to be slowed, drastically as well. Tanks should be brought into the meta again. WITHOUT making them DEFINE the meta.
All I have to say. My feedback as a jungler across all mobas. Jungle here feels the worst. You should never have it where the jungle levels at the same pace as Support. Horrible, horrible feeling.
