junglers need like... something extra...

Hammermancer·Dec 4, 2017·1 votes·244 views

Been thinking about how junglers sacrifice a combat sum, xp, and an item slot, was thinking that maybe this could be made up for with an ornn-like item upgrade for the three jungle items.

Concept would be to have one or two options for each of the jungle items, make it all about 1500 gold, not cheap, but worth it late game

so for warrior enchant, maybe combine it to be either a special upgraded death's dance, or one of the hydra items (for fighter junglers)

Bloodrazor could become an upgraded botrk, or an upgraded wits end (For attack speed junglers)

cinderhulk would basically just become sunfire with the HP increase passive, (Tank junglers)

and runic can become essentially an empowered luudens, with increased stats all around. (We still have ap junglers right?)

No.

Junglers have the most carry potential of any role. They don't need any more than they already have. They certainly don't need to scale better, considering how much they already dominate the early game.

now that I'm finished being a dick, this dosent sound very bad but what would stop me from being a douche and say, building my cinderhulk item AND sunfire? also being as dominant as they are, how would this NOT break them? also about that item slot thing.....

item 2055 tell that to the 6 item support when baron needs warding with all my item 2303 / item 2302 / item 2301 used

Junglers need to be nerfed so they dont auto decide the early and thus the game in the first 5~10 mins of the game.

that is fair, but if a jungler falls behind they likely have zero impact on the game since their late game scaling is pretty bad on average

that's actually the number one issue with junglers is that it's feast or famine across the board right now, there is an implicit balance issue with that since you have a bad game in jungle, you can cause four other players to have a really really bad game.

simply put, this change will only effectively improve in later game, in early game it wont do much, but it gives a bit more of a chance of redemption at the end
