Why does Riot hates junglers? Meta-pick champions destroying variation between games.

Why are junglers being beaten down every season? Auto-filled jungle 35-40% of queues because nobody wants to play it anymore. Removing base and catch-up experience for camps and not lane minions is a huge middle finger to the already underplayed and gutted role.

Seeing the same champions in every game in every role because they're ridiculously stronger than any other picks:

League is quickly losing replayability as every game it's the same match-ups, the same compositions, the same overpowered champions plaguing every game. The current state doesn't allow for anything that veers off-meta unless you enjoy getting drilled raw.

riot hates junglers, because the role is simply too powerful in the pro-scene. Coordination+coordinated champion select combined with proper macroplay, and laners that understand jungle pathing = Jungle is too reliable.

Unfortunatly...in the real world of LoL, there is no coordination, there is no coordinated champion select/team composition, and laners that understand jungle pathing are a rarity. So...Jungle sucks to most of us.
