Always Being Exclusively Autofilled Jungle Shows It Needs Changes

I main jungle. But jungle is at its least enjoyable state than it has been for a while. Just getting level 6 takes well over 7 and a half minutes on average. The gank heavy meta makes any type of powerfarming jungler useless, and it makes non early game junglers weaker by default. It's part of the reason they made scuttler spawn more than a minute later (which I'm still split about whether or not that was a good decision personally). Anyways, as a jungle main, when I go "Jungle/Mid" in my ranked games, I get jungle every game. Even if I go "Mid/Jungle," it's jungle every game. I literally do not remember the last time I went mid in ranked. So because of this, I want to get practice on my secondary role, since it's been a while. So I go into draft pick to try to get mid. And while yes, I understand that it is a very popular position for solo draft pick players to prioritize, I do not get mid more than 20% of the games I try. Mid/Top? Usually, I'll get top. Mid/Bot? I'm gonna get bot. But that isn't the worst part. Let's say I go Mid/Top. When my autofill is turned on, at least 50% of the time, unless somebody dodges, I get jungle anyway. Jungle is literally the least popular role in the game right now. And considering what a balance nightmare top is, with easily the largest champion pool for one lane, support being very unenjoyable if put even slightly behind or if your ADC isn't that good, and ADC is super difficult to play when you have to worry about jungle pressure always being bot focused (or just a nightmare if you have to fight or ), jungle is still the least played role in the game. This is a first for the role in at least five years. If this doesn't show that the jungle needs changes, I don't know what does.

But I'm not just here to complain. I have ideas on what could be changed.

• Make scuttle crabs give less xp. Currently, early scuttlers current xp gives priority to early game junglers, while shunning the rest, thus giving up huge pressure if you're not an early game jungler.
• Make jungle camps in general give more xp to get to level 6 faster. I would buff xp on wolves, gromp, blue, and red buffs. Krugs and raptors already give enough IMO.
• Give rift herald a slight buff and dragons a slight nerf. For example, make rift herald last a little longer + make it deal slightly more damage to turrets, and make dragons spawn a little later in the game. This will make top and bot have more equal pressure.
• Make gromp useful again. Gromp has the highest damage and highest HP, while simultaneously giving the least amount of XP out of any solo camp.

And for the love of god, nerf the damn attack range of the big krug! It's impossible to kite, unless you're ! [sg-janna]
