First game this patch in midlane. Hillarious stuff.

  1. PIcks Malzahar with smite, hits lvl 2 and smash all buttons to push.
  2. Arrives and takes crab faster than sejuani. Ally udyr is now on his way to crab.
  3. We see sejuani doing bluebuff, udyr makes a gank on top on their pantheon.
  4. I take the third crab, I have superior pushing against ryze since he still has not yet a tear.
  5. RNGESUS strikes and crab is on botside, ally pushing so sejuani cannot miss the opportunity.
  6. Me and udyr countergank (No shit sherlock) and I press R so she is stuck like a fly on a spiders net.
  7. Enemy ff in 16 mins. Enemy jg no crabs taken. Me and Udyr perfect score.

Endgame chat. Enemy jg; Mid useless. gg Enemy mid: Jg does not know what she is doing.

So I assume this will go on for the next whole season? Okay, I love trolling to legit win, but what about game health?

Fun fact: I played Soraka with Unsealed Spellbook. When I was able to change my summoner spell, I took smite and stole the enemy scuttle crab.

Pretty funny how you can counter-jungle the enemy jungler by stealing one monster so easily.

But in all honesty i'm kinda glad that Junglers are being punished in some way, such as this because I was pretty tired of the "better jungler wins" or the jungler who ganks which ever lane most wins more games. I'm just happy that they have less impact on games because they wouldn't even need to farm anymore if they just sat in lane camping which ever lane and tower diving with no issues.

Personally I liked the heavy gank meta since I played well...Evelynn. But it was also because each side needed to ward out and determine where the enemy jungler will be and when they will start up a gank. It felt like you were the teams secret intelligence ops.

But now it is like... HAHA! We know you are at crabs, we know you are low on levels so GET THE HELL OUT OR DUEL ME KAPPACHINO.

I wouldn't mind the ganking meta if tower diving would be executed at levels of 3 - 5. That should not even be a thing, at levels 6 and above yeah sure that would then make sense. But that's more of an issue with towers becoming irrelevant in this game.

Well I agree on the towers. They are damn tinfoil as well as having no damage. Also tanks can take hits a lot, and assassins have loads of untargetables to cut the lock on.

They have less impac...

One of the the 2 will be behind and the other will be ahead in every game. Right now jungler strength will surely have a greater impact. This is like playing 4 vs 5 in every single game.

But it is too soon for all the ppl realise the extension of the problem. The ones that already understood the new requisite to win are being forced to adopt new strategies to make sure their jungler don't fall behind.

If you win or lose is decided by minute 3.

I wish we knew what RIOT employee had their head up ass when they made this a thing. It would be fun to read how bad they are being trashed. I knew reading the patch notes that my time on the rift was over and all the negative feedback pretty much confirmed that. My new account will collect dust while I go back and spam ARAM on this one. I am sure RIOT will see a decline in games played on the Rift in the coming weeks because of this asinine change.

I'm not playing a single jungle game this patch. Thankfully I can channel my inner troll since I'm a good midlaner and multitask mid/jg now! It's the fahking dream!

This really makes me wonder. If crab became such big objective mb its legit good idea to go Teemo jungle? XD He has shittiest clear but crab could compensate for that. And after that he can just go and be asshole all over the map. And he is quite good vs AA dependent AD junglers

I personally would say go talon and raid pillage them all like the mongols did.

What actually happened to the fucking crab? From patch notes i would expect him to get twice as tanky but he feels squishy AF. Far more than before. What is this?

Zeppelins circus1 votes

Ok the crab is squishy as fk. I thought it was a legit risk for me to take it. The thing is I did not run out of mana while taking it. AND killing it RESTORED my mana near to full for whatever reason so I had NO PENALTY pulling this off.

One thing they failed to realise is that how laners some can intercept the crab faster than the junglers and screw the game in 3 mins LMAO.

It's hillarious to see this "well thought design" crumble by the pure brainpower of cavemen trolls.

Also the psychological effect on raiding the crab is huge since we KNOW it by numbers and fact it cannot be ignored. But since Sejuani was DOOMED in pickscreen since I have smite she is tilted as hell. Hey but don't blame it on your teammates! It's not your fault you are 2 levels behind because...

  1. Your mid failed to waveclear.
  2. Your mid does not have smite.
  3. Your mid failed to win lane.

It's because you are bad at this game! MID SMITE FK YEA

Took smite on ap ezreal mid, started enemy red did it without any health loss, hit lvl 2 enemy is still lvl 1 flanked behind him with red buff forced a flash/kill. proceeded an took enemy scuttler while my jungler did his and took some more enemy camps. lol hilarious how bad you can screw a jungler now. what made it better it was a dark harvest shaco, so he was 3 lvls behind graves all game lol.

I say we should make a Community montage "How 2 troll and screw your enemy jungler 101", and post it on Reddit as a protest.

I have found the jungle changes to be good overall. Mid laners leaving to take scuttlecrab has counterplay if both players are skilled

Such as following him and killing him or pushing and making him lose a wave which negates the effect of the scuttlecrab.

But going for scuttle is still viable and advised if you are given the opportunity to.
