A Way to Fix the Current High ELO Jungle Meta

LaughingStapler··3 votes·467 views

TheOddOne mentioned how frustrating it is that bot lane will now take Krugs because all the camps spawn at 1:55. This often forces him to pick junglers who can start top and don't depend on the Gift of Heavy Hands buff. Junglers already have a reduced income and it's annoying to see laners gimp them even more.

TheOddOne mentioned that invading can be a counter to this but Riot should just make the small camps spawn at 2:05 instead. I don't like this idea because some junglers really want to start at Krugs rather than Red. Instead, I propose that players without smite get less XP and gold for clearing jungle camps. The numbers can be tweaked as needed.

Interesting but is it enough? Bot mostly takes Krugs to gain a level advantage rather than just for the gold.

I like starting at krugs.

This is actually happening in PBE right now - you have to have smite to get machete, and machete provides bonus gold for killing jungle camps.
