Another jungle talk
So from my understanding of the update you want jungle to be less of what it was intended and more to be.. its own game? From my understanding it sound like you dont want jungle to be worrying about lanes but instead worry about itself.. Why have jungle then? why not just remove jungler meta and make duo top again. I may just miss understand your intent. or maybe you might have. Worst thing is making Scuttle important AND rng. we already see how noone likes current dragon. It offers less potential for combacks and more for just straight up steamrolling and snowballing.
Honestly i do wana see jungle less important and more for general use. Not specificly for a roll. Get rid if smite. make the monsters not scale so hard. Add a universal jungle item that has a weaker smite that is only for assisting in baron/dragon. Make it so mid is the roaming lane. maybe an item (instead of a rune) that assists in them running between lanes. Possibly make mid turret (or all outer turrets) slightly more hp/armor. Top can be the mage/push lane bot can continue to be the carry lane.
