Jungle is still extremely toxic and way too influential for YEARS.
This role is more cancerous than all the horribly toxic champion designs combined. This role basically has the influence of 3 supports.
Ever since riot made clearing the entire jungle and ganking a thing, better jungler will usually win the game barring 3 inting lanes. If your jungler gets solo killed it honestly feels like playing a 4 v 7 because now ganking is more risky since 2 v 2 is auto lose while their jungler can just run all over your team.
Influence is not related to how strong a role is. It doesn't matter that junglers are a level below laners when they make or break lanes easily. In dawngate junglers are 2 levels above laners and they still aren't anywhere near as influential as in league.
pre six while I'm
, I can't do much. And yeah, we do have the influence of 3 supports, but as previously stated, if even a single lane feeds, we're screwed, because that lane is most likely going to feed continuously, and if 2 of them are hard feeding, we' re definitely screwed. Some champs are toxic, but have you seen a single ADC? And how will we have influence if the enemy laner is uber fed? Just. No.
