Patch 4.20 Jungle and General Gameplay

I want to start out by saying that I have played League for 2 and 1/2 years at this point, and I really enjoyed the game over that time. However, these changes to Summoner's Rift seem to end the era of Summoner's Rift for me. As a jungle main who plays one or two games daily, I don't feel like I have the time or the willpower to learn about every single change that this season brought. The transition last season was like one wraith and a few minor other details. I go into the jungle this season and I don't know where to start and I don't know where to go. The camps give buffs that I don't even understand and why do camps run away from you? Fiddles drain is useless on crabs. Dragon now has the buff things but it changes every time you get a dragon so you have to keep track of how many times you get dragon and what that buff does. Then there are new inner towers that just got weird and knowing that damage output will take another 100 games.

Ok so that was my list of undesirable changes. Why are those undesirable? Why don't I adapt? Well the way I see it is the game has become one that requires full attention 24/7 instead of one that you can pick up, play and understand after a little break from it. If I miss a couple weeks, well I'm playing out of meta. And for me, who likes playing competitively, that's just not fun. Warwick just walks into my jungle and kills me because he was on full HP and I was not. That's not fun.

To me the relatively simplicity and the pick up and play mindset has been completely destroyed with this patch and now League has become this complicated, weird game where knowing what to do and what items are best requires an 1000 page manual. Before the game was like chess, now it's more like I have to study for years to understand whatever is going on. Thanks for the fun times Summoner's Rift, you were a great map. (Actually the map change itself was good but everything else was pretty awful.)

HUH are you serious or just trolling? Read patch notes, check smite buffs, takes like 5 minutes to figure it out. Don't be lazy consumer who needs his food chewed lol
