Riot needs to actually nerf the jungle

I don't get why riot hasn't put out any actual nerfs for the role yet. Can they just look at the challenger ladder and see there's something wrong there?

It is the most consistent and easiest role to carry with. I don't even play the role yet I get a 85% win rate in high plat/low diamond with jg while I only get a 75% win rate with my main mid role.

Lower the camp exp and respawn timers and remove plants would be a good start. You would expect a jungler that farms to be ahead of the jungler who ganks non-stop but it isn't the case unless they've failed literally every single gank. You have to also be braindead for an early gank to not be successful in some way when you have red buff.

A laner that stays in his lane and shoves is ahead of a laner that roams non-stop, usually even when the roam is successful. Missing waves of exp in a lane is a huge set-back. The same doesn't apply for jungle. Jungle is basically a laner who can roam non-stop with 0 penalty, effectively having the influence of a support in all 3 lanes at once.

Yeah jungle is still broken as fk and really needs actual nerfs.

Because nobody likes jungle anymore; Riot's poor handling made it unsatisfying or riskier than it should, not to mention stifled farmer junglers.

You're out of your mind. They've nerfed jungle two seasons in a row. If you don't get an early kill, you're already 2 levels behind your solo laners.

This post has to be trolling.

By the time toplane is level 11 a jungler who didn’t gank, power farmed and invaded multiple times will be at level 9 at most.

Jungle is basically a second support.
