Such Fail, Much Wow. New Champion ... Feedback.

Liquid Dario··1 votes·639 views

ANOTHER SUPPORT ?? REALLY RIOT!! GGS =[ seems bot lane gets all the love and fun with new champions nowadays. Bard and now Tahm too .... why doesn't the jungle get some luv ? Reksai was in like nov of last year... not to mention it wasnt even a jungler for half the time the champion existed.

Jungle is soo boring im basically a 3 year jungle main starting to switch to mid lane because im litterally DYING of bordom of playing the same 3 champions over and over. JUNGLE LACKS DIVERSITY.. ya that word you use, this is a perfect time to use that word against you... Tank meta is cool and all but its still not having new champions.

We realistically have been the group with the LEAST champion diversity of all lanes and all roles. Who was the last jungler before reksai ?? was it ATTROX LMAO.

We get like 1 champion an entire year while every lane gets 3 sometimes even 4 champions. Its hella boring and frusterating when you see new champs being announced. Basically, you already know its not gunna be a jungler. It is also frusterating to see all the other players get the shiny new toy while we are forced to play with our lumps of coal from 3 years ago.

I think im just going to shift out of being a jungler to a mid laner so I can actually touch new champions more than once a year if that. Even support is better than jungle!! jungle has become the worst and most neglected role imo.

Would love to see a rioter comment on this. I wont bash ya I would love to hear your opinnion honestly and hope you take my feedback into consideration. There are likely many other junglers feeling the same way as I.

Just to leave a bit of a example here for players that are going to come read this.

Last 3 Supports Released. Braum-2014-05-12/Bard-2015-03-12/Tahm-2015-07-??

Last 3 Junglers Released. Zac-2013-03-29/Attrox-2013-06-13 /Rek'Sai-2014-12-11

The strech for new junglers is ridiculous. The list does not include random top lane champions that felt they could be jungle aka sion etc. This list is made of champions specifically touted as jungle champions and support champions and the last 3 releases for each.

they do this at least once per season. Back in 2013 we got two adc back to back Lucian/Jinx, so they've done things like this before! i will say we do need a new champion, but this is our 3rd champ released this year we will get more and im sure we will see a jungler soon!

I think Tahm will be a viable jungler with that thick skin passive.

why are you complaining about not getting any Junglers? Considering that Ekko Seems to be able to Jungle just fine.

And Creating Junglers is Really Really Hard. You basically need to give said champion the ability Clear Jungle camps Either Quickly or Healthfully. (though no likely both) And Have enough Mobility and/or CC (most likely both) to pull off ganks. And it has to do that all while not becoming oppressive in lane, for riot will have to balance around that if it happens.

The Two ways to do that easily is to a) Just add a few damage amps against Monsters, But that's an uninteractive and Free stats approach to the problem. or b) Make the champions kit so Atrocious in lane that it has to Jungle. (Like say Fiddlesticks)

I bring this up because a) It's too early to tell whether the new guy will do better as a support or as a solo laner. b) The people working on the new champion concepts do so Over long periods of time when meta and viability drastically change. and c) We have plenty of potential Junglers that just need a tune up. And that can much more quickly add viability than introducing new champions.

You just got a new Jungler! His name is Ekko!

No, really, look at where the LCS teams are taking him and give it a shot yourself.

Just because Tahm's a support doesn't mean he'll be exclusively used as Bot Support. He seems like he would be able to jungle pretty well. Maybe not the fastest, but given his ult, he may be able to gank pretty effectively.

again as stated above im not talking about top/mid laners that think they can jungle sion ekko etc any of those there not really junglers and they were never touted or released with the intention of being a jungle champion.

He will not be good in jungle, he doesnt have a gap closer and needs 3 autos before he can use his skills on the enemy. You will be totally dependant on your laners CC which is why no jungler ever has a gap closer and cc right ? he will never get in auto attack range considering hes a slow tank with no gapclosers and a really telegraphed ultimate. Thats why his ult brings a buddie "hey I need CC tahm screams"

and as for the other dude who posted about it being hard to make a jungler. They have done it how many times ? these champions are decided upon long before you think they are they know if there making a jungler or not long before it ever comes out as a champion. They have plenty of time to figure it out.

There are far more meta/viable junglers than there are supports, lol.

Support is the least liked/played role. Its the one role people keep telling Riot to encourage people to play. Yeah, let's get angry at new champs that seem to be solid support ideas. @_@
