Jungle cannot be allowed to have this much negative impact over the game

Jungle has zero positive impact over the game.

The role is currently too weak to really do anything other than play PvE and potentially camp bottom lane, which isn't possible 90% of the time because it has too much vision control, and often not worth it because having a camp poached while you gank is crippling. The best you can hope for is to perform your duty as a smite bot and not feed.

I stopped playing jungle because the role has become so ineffective and frustrating, but now every single game I play as mid lane is being sabotaged by one team's jungle getting dumpstered by whichever one of us picked a champion that has priority, then turning into a walking bag of gold because they have no way to recover from the death. If the jungle tries to do anything other than AFK farm, they die because they're at too much of a disadvantage to fight anyone.

If I have priority, I can literally just walk into the jungle and kill the enemy at their buffs as they respawn. If I don't have priority, my jungle is completely fucked as the enemy mid lane and jungle walks into our jungle and forces them to concede every camp, which puts them permanently behind because there is no catch up EXP. The best I can do is give them vision so they don't die, while watching them quickly become irrelevant.

This needs to be fixed ASAP. This role can't be allowed to remain like this.
