1 game is the entire jungling experience after all.

I like small sample sizes what can I say. But nah, it's pretty consistently like this in high elo.

I mean, just check my match history. Almost every game 1 or both junglers are fed.

He's Grandmaster.

And yeah. It's like that the higher you go. Early game junglers role games, and both Rengar and Graves are very early game junglers who have very little counterplay.

Champs like that are literally chosen in 80% of games too.

Rarely, you'll get an Evelynn who changes the game's dynamic by "farm to 6," but even then.... her team knows that, unlike low elos, and they even help her get there if they can. Then she generally carries, too.

You do realize in high elo Jungle's relatively free gold income (barring invades/ganks without teamwork) Is probably also the safest income at high elo?

Top can't express themselves, because of the imminent threat of a gank, and the lack of wards to cover all approaches.

Mid can't express themselves as much as low elo, because they understand how many steps they have to move, how far away they can move, and what pressure any specific opponent can muster.

Support can't go in half as much as they can in low elos, because every single poke is punished, and most are within adc range. They basically don't do much unless going in for an assist kill for an adc. On average falls behind low elo gold by about 1600g.

Bot is in a similar situation to the support. To farm they pretty much have to trade and take risks. Otherwise, they get punished every single time they try to farm.

Jungle..... you may get contested for farm once every 4-5 camps.

safer than a lane, relatively.

Exactly. You summed up my wordless post for me.

Essentially, we high elo boys don't really wanna see this role buffed :)
