New Junglers

Riot games- "Hey f#@k wads we heard you don't like Jungling and haven't gotten a fully dedicated Jungler in a hot minute so we've got something for everyone else. We're gonna take some champions that are laners and try to move them into the Jungle because we (and you) love them."

This is the actually Red post. Widening the Jungle Champ Pool When we’re digging into our results and follow ups from this year’s preseason, we were really struck by a problem in the Jungle role that we’d never been able to fix - throughout League's entire history, low Elo players have preferred the jungle position least of all 5 positions, regardless of whether jungle is strong or weak relative to the other 4 positions. We think this will take a variety of changes to fix in the long term, but we want to also do some short-term work to improve jungle appeal. In 10.4 we’re going to try adding a handful of champs that we (and you) love into the jungle pool. We’d be doing very focused changes that buff these champs' jungle clears but leave their lanes unchanged. Not all of these may ship but here is our current list: Garen (we’re also doing some light changes to make bruiser items more viable compared to attack speed builds) Diana Zed Talon Darius

I don't work for Riot, now do what you all want with this information.

Oh yeah Riot, don't just buff Jungle and fix up the Junglers that already exist, instead add "new" ones.

Just wait for the following updates to jungle "The playerbase has raised concerns for tank junglers, so we've reworked them all into laners" "The reworked tank junglers are doing too much as tanks, we have reworked them all into bruisers" "The reworked bruiser laners are too healthy, we are reworking them into assassins. Don't worry about the Korean teams that are getting 70%+ WRs on them, just keep playing, summoner" "Supports, mages, and ADCs aren't healthy, we have remade them all into assassins"

Hmm never had so much problem with jungle playing Nexus Blitz, since any champ could jungle and there really wasn't any bad picks.

Too many snowball objectives in the game:

i.e.

Plates Dragons Rift Heralds

Means that laners can't afford not to try and fuck over the opposing jungler while the junglers themselves can't afford not to fuck over opposing laners.

Just get rid of all of them and go back to the basic lane triangles. Its not complicated.

sure, now hows about undoing the nerf on qiyana's jungle seeing as no one likes to play the jungle.
