I'm right there with you brother, go ahead and file my post in the no one cares column, begin rant: just got done playing a ranked game and getting utterly demolished because of missing smite on a 50/50 level 1 red buff (with 4 people from both teams there). The yi i was playing against proceeds to go buff to buff and clears my entire top side jungle, I meet him and 1v1 him, get him to 1 hit away from death (as dr mundo) he proceeds to w up and survives until his q is back up...he wins that duel. I could have played better there and possibly not missed my smite at level 1. After this point, the Yi lives in my jungle, with his 2 level advantage, he continues to clear my jungle and kill me every time he finds me, and ganks all the lanes after clearing my jungle. There was absoulutly no way to come back from this. The yi played it well, he kept me down and I could not come back with my jungle cleared and no laners could afford to collapse on my wards I laid. It was one of the most painful games I have ever played, even with ninja tabi, thorn mail, red smite, yi is able to melt me in 3 seconds for the entire game. After the game is over my support says "Worst mundo ever". I respond with ggwp, yeah. I've been jungling since GP/10 items were must buys and you had to buy pots every back (was that season 1 or 2?). I played through the meta where you were seriously just a support that cleared the jungle. This is by far the worst. It is such a vicious snowball that any early advantage if utilized well puts the other jungler in a position where you cannot even participate in the game. I finished Gold 4 last season (which has been a personal goal of mine in league of legends for years). I placed into bronze 1 after going 50/50 on placements. But I think I'm done fellas, I already had issues playing this game as I have a bit of performance anxiety when it comes to the fact that 4 other people are subjected to bad games that are my fault. I just don't have a desire to play and then be subjected to abuse. I could switch to another roll where you dont get flamed when you get destroyed, but I dont have the patience to learn another role, I think I will just work on RL success instead. This paltry buff to XP will not make a difference, they really broke the jungle this time.
