I feel as a player that wants to enjoy the game more, the Jungle needs to be looked at

Note: I am not making this post to be about jungle balance at all, just the gameplay of it.

**My two arguments: **

A) The jungle itself is just money and EXP in itself it's worthless as a mechanic or feature because it doesn't really bring an objective to protect it while I as a player feel it has meaningful potential that isn't tapped. I see people complain that the jungler just passes by and then camps a lane, which is true, what else are they going to do? monsters take too long to spawn, if you're not quick enough a bully champion might come into your jungle and just kill you or take your creeps. And this to me is the problem it's supposed to be YOUR teams jungle but it just feels like a filler lane, there's nothing unique in it or anything that brings something to the table, there's nothing in the jungle to protect or secure, there's no barrier of self defense and worse of all there's no _King/queen _of the jungle. It's just extra creeps, each side of the jungle has a buff to enjoy. And the plants are just tools of the abusers. As a player this game doesn't encourage me to stay or my team mates to bother focusing on protecting it. It can be soo much more! the role people argue to play for, but instead it is now the least desirable role. If you fill on my elo you'll almost always get jungle. People don't think it's useless, just boring. The game should be fun, or at least interesting... i think right?

I feel the plants have to go, and bring back smite buffs. The buffs allowed a broader selection of champions... though that's my other argument. Champion uniqueness isn't really felt, it's more like separated into 2 categories. Speed, and sustain. A champ that can sustain well in the jg is successful, a champ that clear fast to gank quicker is successful. It doesn't matter what champ you use, if it can secure objectives you can use a minion. It doesn't matter if the enemy jg is Jax or Ekko , what matters is that their jg exist and it's trying to gank. The role itself is a bigger title than the champion. The difference is that Jax will come gank a lot faster and more often which is what really matters because he's just faster not his actual kit. Not till the lane phase is over at least.

Do you guys want more from the jg or hope for more in Season 9 ( next years season) ? This season is beyond disappointing how it was just left this way.

Pls add a TLDR. Kinda hard to understand.

Imagine if there were towers/outposts in the jungle you could capture like in Dominion that provided buffs or defenses.

Imagine if smaller minion waves filled the jungle from Nexus to aid in securing buffs or that you could create temporary mini lanes with to duel enemy jungler in the jungle and fight over monsters.

What if you could alter the jungle paths by destroying rock walls that block typical paths and change the map layout, could damn the rivers revealing gold in the river bed or other small buff items?

What if there was more grass in the jungle? What if camps had more hp?
