The role that riot said was too impactful so they nerfed xp. Then when junglers wouldn't gank or leave jungle riot decided to nerf it again because it wasn't impacting the game. Now the jungle is fucked in xp if you don't start red buff side u are down one level.
To fix jungle:
Put vision back so that laners can answer heavy gankers.
Screw pro play. I need to be able to ward up HARD against heavy gank junglers, particularly if my jungler has to wait until later to help me out. I dont watch LCS. And I loathe losing hunters knife and sightstone just so pro play can be less boring.
Put XP back up where (hard) ganking isnt the only functional style.
Nerf abuse cases: Yi, Udyr, Jax, such that hyperfarming is not overincentivised.
If the three jungle types, gank, farm, counterjungle are equal strength, there is a lot more diversity and life in the role.
You have to put the vision control back before that can happen though.
The issue has two parts. High pressure junglers are strong both because other options cannot glean sufficient exp, and because vision has been GUTTED over time.
That's why jungling is simultaneously the most stressful and the most idiotically impactful role in the game despite feeling awful to play.
But hey, you get to see sejuani pick/ban every game in pro.
P.S. I would like to learn riot's logic behind "Jungle is too impactful, so we will force them to gank 24/7"
Frankly, they should just revert the game. They've made awful decision upon awful decision, they may as well just back track at this point.
"I know what will make junglers stop spam ganking, we'll take xp out of jungle camps multiple times and make it so your only viable method of getting xp is killing laners and leeching xp from your teammates. What do you mean Lee Sin is now in every match I dun see him in pro play lmao." -rito gam
I decided to play a jungle game after a few years of not playing LoL. I knew something felt off so I camped bot with Hecarim going full speed 300mph every time I saw the jhin was getting too cocky. Apparently I played the new jungling method by pure chance
