Anyone have any suggestions for making summoners rift fun?

I'm simply not enjoying it at the moment. Top lane feels like the most isolated lane in more ways the one such as getting ganked less. Mid lane seems to be more about 2,3, and 6 level power spikes with ignite that makes trading as a sustained fighter extremely annoying. For example someone takes Zed or Talon and just waits for level 6 when I'm playing Heimerdinger or Cassiopeia. Bot lane seems to always go in favor of whoever has voice chat. Bad lane to go solo. And jungle is simply not fun anymore because early game pressure is bad and I just seem to run into the teammates that have zero map awareness. As far as jungle ganks go. I feel there needs to be 2 people focussing. If I gank without pinging that I'm on my way. You should as a laner be paying attention anyway. I accept that I have a part to do as well, which is ping, but again it takes 2 people to focus and not just one person going "oh hey look jungler is here, let me help him".

So to summarize what I wrote above. Top feels isolated. Mid, you either play a burst champion, or deal with getting 100-0 in a lot of cases. Bot is in favor of the duo with voice chat. And jungle just doesn't seem to have early game pressure like it used to.

Massively tone down the damage and mobility.

there can be more of those items that are only for junglers for other roles. wolves, lizards or/and golems can bring effects.

Every lane, every game is pretty intense lately, which means (expected) stress and that is not the most fun. It was not like that before as the majority of people blind or counter pick safe and there were plenty of strong anti-assassin picks. Now a lot of reworks and new champs bring so many tools to kill you that you have to fight fire with fire from level 2 on. And the anti-assassins still exist but most are reworks I guess people have not stuck with as much. Basically safe champs being good early just makes conceptual sense, bc that is why you pick them. And riskier damage champs late would be a lot more fun. I don't know a good place for lane assassins besides LeBlanc.

I personally play alot of reksai jungle and have used her to climb into plat. It took me many many games to be able to play at a level above silver but here is my insight.

Jungle early pressure is definitely a thing as snowballing your lanes is the easiest way to wins this game so playing high impact early junglers reksai Elise xin shaco Camille as examples.

Laning is in itself a very absorbed role between trading cs and wave control it is perfectly understandable that they have poor map awarenesses. It is our job as the jungler to bridge the gap between the lanes and we do alot of the communication for the team. Think if it as the bot laner might never interact with the top laner for the first 15 minutes of the game while you as the jungler will have interacted with everyone by 5 or 10. Jungling is a very stressful position but that is it nature.

Top lane has always been an island Nothing new.

Bot lane favours teamwork.

Mid lane favours hyper mobile champions but a heimer should best any meele champ tbh.
