Jungle is now worthless. May as well duo top

I mean really. They gutted our late game to try and combat early gank junglers. Because that makes sense.

Then people continued complaining about early junglers because they were never hit.

So riot gutted early xp and left late xp the fucking same.

So now we can’t do much early, because we lose 60+% of our health getting to level 3.

But we are also almost gaurenteed to be atleast 3 levels behind our solo lanes. And 1-2 behind our duo lane.

Even if we power farm, invade and leech some Passing xp from mid we are at most even with botlane and still 2 behind our solo lanes.

Edit - I forgot to mention. If you do invade and take some camps from the enemy. After 2 of them, you have a 150 gold bounty. While being the second weakest person on the map. Just something cool I thought I’d mention. -.-

You fucked out late to stop our early. Then fucked our early because people complained.

Junglers have a 2-3 minute window to be relevant. :/

My proposed fix?

Revert all the recent jungle xp nerfs and do what you should have done the first time around. :/

Reduce the true damage on red buff Remove the slow on red buff. Increase the health regen on red buff.

And the early ganks are toned back. And late game junglers and junglers that can’t gank well at level 2 become playable again.

That looks amazing, I always wanted to play Duo Top but Riot forces the game to be played with Junglers on all games.

If you're playing an early game jungler and losing 60% hp, that sounds like more of a you problem than the games issue. I'm not going to pretend to be good at the game but if you're having issues having a healthy clear then add me as a friend and let me spectate you in game. My summoner name Gorrazin in case you're interested. Also don't know where people are getting the statistics for lane popularity. Last I checked top lane was one of the least popular roles in the game, sometimes even falling below support and I can't find recent stats to indicate otherwise. If someone can give me a link to them that would be great.

You forget if you invade (or the enemy does) if you're already behind imagine the poor invaded jungler...I secondary support and never get it since they gutted JG, I decided I wanted to play it a bit and primaried support, was autofilled to JG every single time until I switched secondary to a more popular role.

Seriously, supports if you want 100% support pick, just secondary Mid, it's the most popular, you'll get support 100% of the time.

Right? You’d think riot would realize a role sucks when it becomes less played than support. The same thing happened when adc got gutted into the dirt.

I also forgot to mention. If you invade 2 camps to attempt to be on par. You have a 150 gold bounty. While still being behind everyone else.

Yup, I think current popularity is

Mid----->Top->ADC->Support----------------------->JG

Not 100% sure between adc/top though. The plus side is Riot kinda has to fix it because it's breaking MM timers due to so few willing to JG.

I think Top is the most popular role... or at least in Wood tier it seems to be. People seem to think of Top lane as being a farming sim where they can stay all day and ignore the rest of the map and team.

Top is the current most popular. Mostly due to them having the highest carry potential. Because most of the op almost win on pick champions are up there atm.

Mid is always the most popular role
