How does riot expect jungling to be a role when they buff the xp gained by laning minions but nerf the xp gained form jungling. They are literally punishing junglers for participating in this "team" game. Jungle minions were fine the way they were prior to the nerf.
Nah, some change was necessary. The red side jungle was too stacked, compared to the blue side jungle. Of course, that was riots fault in the first place, for being shitty at distributing exp.
EXP is better distributed now, but low overall, so not sure if I want to go back to how things were before.
The balancing as far as evening the XP for both sides was a VERY good step. The general reduction of XP across the board in addition to Duo lane XP is also a very good solution to the annoying as shit spam ganker meta that was the norm all season 9.
NOW you can farm your jungle and it's a viable strategy and focus more on objectives.
I really don't understand this new jungle much. It just feels really off. I wasn't a gank spammer nor was I a sit in my jungle and farm until level 6 but this feels just bad. I honestly feel like a second support playing jungle and I've played it all night with various champions just to get a good feel for it. I feel like when i played Amumu I was being rocked pretty hard by the camps to the point where I had to decide to stay in my jungle and not gank until i go back because i was so low health. Same on Nautilus and Rammus as well. Jungle as a role is there for you to to be a great unseen influence on the game. I feel like if i see a tank jungle now though that I don't even have to worry that they are going to show up in lane because they are fighting for their life trying to farm. Leagues either going to need to rework the jungle items as well or figure an alternative out because I'm not playing that role anymore. Support feels more fun and viable and i actually hunted the enemy jungler down as Sona in one of my games tonight with an amplifying totem and blew him out of the water. It just feels wonky that a support can hunt a jungler down find him 1/4 health at his gromp and blow him up. Needs work in my opinion.
