Jungle Needs Buffs

I know there is a buff next patch with gold income but I think there needs to be some experience gain changes as well.

In season 4 you can keep up in exp with the solo lanes but now your always tied with or behind the duo lane. This might have to do with the jungle doing more damage making you back more and farming less.

I agree. Jungle monsters probably need to give 10-15% more xp. Right now it feels like junglers are encouraged to farm constantly and only gank when a kill/assist is certain. If you gank heavily but are ganking low percentage targets you fall behind in levels really fast.

So I am not the only one? I thought I just sucked!.... I pretty sure I still suck anyway at jungling though. XD

I feel like this would just make it easier for farm heavy junglers to AFK farm the jungle and out-level the solo lanes.

Never had an issue with levels as a jungler, I disagree. Farm heavy junglers WILL be more behind than gank heavy junglers, and that's a fact. EXP from lane minions, a kill/assist, and lane tax is a lot more than the camp or two that would have been cleared in that 10 seconds.

The goal of that new jungle is to make you farm less and gank more. Oh and every camp now gives more gold/xp than last season so you need less camps to level up. There is a limit tho. I don't know how it works exactly but i know that at some point you can only get 50% of the jungle experience depending on your teammates' level and yours.

Pretty sure this is an intended change. Riot believes (and correctly so) that junglers had too much impact on the game in season 4. The new jungle is intended to be a deeper role, but it's also intended to create lower impact on the lanes for the junglers.

lol I thought that's just me. no level problem back in s4, but in this pre season, some of my games, I behind in lvl.

I can't even wake up from a fail gank, better tax the laner hard.
