So, about the S 6 Jungle...
I was wondering if I could get a RIOT employee to explain the thought process behind nerfing jungle gold gain (30 gold per camp after first clear as the S 5 standard, vs 10 gold per clear as the S 6 standard), while buffing lane gold gain... I mena, we are already used to the jungle items beign kinda subpar but mandatory, but this is getting out of hand. If I recall correctly the "fantasy" of a jungler is to have a memeber of the team who is able to help snowball his team via his ganking. Wards are more plentiful, so that is out of the picture.
We ahve slightly more Xp now, but that doesn't matter because the numbers are too low for you to square off against a Mid or Top on even footing, they will STILL outlevel you, and of course, probably outfarm you too. However, due to the reworks on Marksmen, if you try and gank bot, the lane you outlevel now, you need to worry about Marksmen who have a potent early, mid AND are still the late game monstosities we know, as most were given more juice to their attacks via passives and abilities (MF, Graves, Quinn), while the other half can simply run away and later outscale you, as a good deal of junglers are AA based, but don't ever approach the power of an ADC, while the returns off Resolve keystones are terrible compared to their Ferocity counterparts.
tl;dr The Marksman "fantasy" has been fufilled by stomping all over jungle fighters and bruisers (who were supposed to have powerful early and mid game, yet they are now outscaled due to worse itemization options and outright weaker kits in case of going against Graves), with no compensation as of yet. Can we get some info about what's going to be done about all of this? Marksmen are only a part of the "ecosystem" of this game and tipping the scales away from one, of course brings the whole house of cards down, but buffing all junglers is clearly a pipe dream leading to the same issues. Still something should be done and I'd like to be assured that it will (or not, as I'd at least know where I stand as someone who doesn't play Marksmen or one of the recently reworked Juggernauts).
