New Jungling Meta Incoming with Patch 6.9?

PulsarPollo··1 votes·5,082 views

With patch 6.9, many changes are coming, along with a "reworked" item 1403 and a change to item 3124 . In 6.8, some overpowered jungling items will be addressed, such as the item 3025 , which was incredibly powerful in teamfights. A Previous patch also nerfed the item 1402 enchantment so that on proc, it would do 60 instead of 80 damage. With 6.9, could we see a decline of the Hybrid jungling builds commonly used on Udyr , Jax , and Ekko , and instead be seeing more item 1400 , item 1401 , and item 1402 champions, such as Vi ,Pantheon , and Diana ? Also, with the general rework of Hextech items, could this patch be a "rework" for the hybrid junglers that have enjoyed high win rates and have gotten high ban rates with this new meta? Could this introduce more Mage junglers into the current meta, along with builds capitalized on certain champion strong points, such as Attack Speed, Crit, etc. ? Feel free to leave your feedback and thoughts below, I'd love to see your thoughts on the upcoming patch and I will do my best to reply to you. ;) ~ruski

TL;DR 6.9 can potentially change the old devourer meta and introduce a new meta with more champs utilizing cinderhulk, warrior, runic echoes, and builds that capitalize on a champion's strengths even better,

People will continue to use devourer junglers i dont understand how 'they nerf devourer so now it's going to be unusable' lmfao

If Riot knows devourer isn't gonna be used and gonna be useless item then they would just completely remove it...

They might just lower the attack speed to 20% or something. Just like how they tweaked the AP jungle item and it's still being usable.

So many low elo kids crying about devourer all over these forums it's hilarious. But one thing they don't know is that it wont be going away ;)

First of all, I'm not trying to directly attack low elo players. Secondly, this is not a criticism about Riot, I believe they are taking the right steps to introduce a new jungling meta. The devourer is receiving a pretty substantial change, but I was trying to highlight it's power in its old form and how it might be a lot better than it once was as its new passive can hit really hard, especially on tanks. I respect your opinion, but let's allow time to tell how powerful the new devourer will be. Oh and, be sure to check what account you're posting on, you're really contradicting your point about low elo players ranting. ;) ~ruski

Huh? This is not my main, this is a lvl 10 account I think. I don't use my main on these boards just a secondary account I don't even play on.

This is unranked so yeah. My main is in Gold tho, which is better than most people who are in ranked.

Then post on your main to prove your point, you're just making yourself look like a complete idiot in this forum by complaining about "low elo rants" when you're only level 10. I also seriously doubt that you're gold, given your immaturity about the game's items, meta, and other players. Don't start ranting without a solid argument and don't rant with an immature attitude towards other players of different skills. It just shows anger and salt. ;) ~ruski
