**either you stomp or get stomped**: Upset about current state of Jungle and the Game in general
To make a long story short, either you stomp or get stomped. I don't like a game like that. I don't like winning by hording all the resources and starving the enemy. Its even more unfair than usual. There is no back and forth trading of advantages between the teams. If I make a mistake I should be punished, but one mistake should not cost us the game. My team should be able to recover, and I should have the opportunity to come back into the game.
Kills in the Jungle should not be so easy to come by, and the jungler shouldn't be punished so hard, because he has no way of defending his camps if behind. He becomes starved, and it happens so fast in the game now. kill > gank lanes > take towers > take jungle camps > take neutral objectives > win the game. Its a slow bleed out and seemingly impossible to stop. The only way to get back into the game throughout this process is to play to the opposite side of the map, but even then the enemy can respond fast enough to group up on you, kill you, and take the objective. The only way to get back into the game is by killing the enemy when they have the advantage which is even more difficult. You have to wait for them to mess up. I don't want to wait. I want to take action to help my team, but everything in the jungle seems to be too much of a risk.
I'm upset about the current state of the Jungle. It is too easy to invade and punish the jungler in low ELO and Normal Games, because the lanes will not respond to help. And even if they did. Many junglers will kill ally jungler. Take the buff, and get out for free because of the scuttle speed and vision. They can then set the ally jungler way behind and either punish them again, or gank lanes with an item advantage to great success. (And it might just be me, but the deaths recently seem to hurt more which I don't like) It all snowballs off of a single play, and it seems impossible to stop. I hate feeling irrelevant because the enemy jungler invaded without being punished one time.
I just watched a vid where a Diamond Kayn said "I would rather kill myself than play another game on this patch", I sympathize because it really is that frustrating. IWD played Xin against him and won (In Dom's own words) not because he was a better player, but because Xin is a stronger champion.
I have taken the time out of my day to write this message to RIOT in the hopes that they will hear this and try to figure out what to do about it. I wish I had a solution to the problem, but I don't. All I can offer is my experience, and ask you make changes to the game to make it more fun. Because right now frankly, it's not.
Thank you for your time,
