I feel sorry for junglers lol

Having played in beta/season 1 as a jungler main I remember being able to have a huge impact on games. However, since I came back recently during this preseason and now season 5 I have been playing adc and would fill jungle as kayle when needed.

As ADC I managed to maintain about 66% winrate and im sitting at 16 wins 7 losses as jungle kayle.

So I got bored of ADC and decided to try other junglers... No matter how big I got as J4/Leesin/Panth I could not have enough impact on a game to directly cause a win. I think ive lost like 15 or so games almost in a row.

Now maybe I should have just spammed adc/mid until I finished climbing up to something like plat/diamond before trying to play a role that basically seems to rely on the competence of your team but damn bottom line..

I feel damn sorry for junglers. It's nothing like I remember it in beta/season 1. It basically feels like im playing a shittier top laner who is very unlikley to have any direct impact outside killing overextending noobs with low hp (both cuz if they aren't low they probobly just duel you with your shit xp and gold gains)

(Also where the hell did atma's go. I want to actually tank, not this fucking buy omen and maybe warmog/sunfire and still get blown up shit)

At this game currently stands, the higher elo you go the worse "playing favourite" gets, you're better off staying around low to medium elo range.

Yeah. Riot REALLY nerfed the jungle... the EXP and gold changes basically made it so that duo lanes get more EXP than the jungler... its pathetic going 12/3/15 and only being level 12, when the rest of your team is level 17. Its just not fun anymore. it makes you feel pathetic, and that youre not doing anything.

And atmas was removed because no one bought it. Only a very few people bought it (and, IMO, items should just be left in the game regardless of how worthless they are. theres always a niche).

I think riot wants to shift the meta to roaming duo top lane. because thats where theyre pushing junglers.

Honestly, it just sounds like you're not very good with Pantheon/Jarvan/Lee Sin. I've played games with J4 where I was the deciding factor in that game, getting my lanes snowballing hella early. Maybe you just need more games on those champions to be able to play them effectively?

NAh what are u talking about guys? Rito company best company. They increased the diversity (they didnt) , they made more item paths avilable (they didnt) they made us make a heavy strategic choice between jungle items (they didnt) they increased the general map presence of the junglers (they didnt) they allowed the junglers to farm more (they didnt) Lee is now balanced and doesnt deny an entire jungle class just by existing (he still does) and most certainly they allowed junglers to have different playstyle other than being a tanky frontline cc gankmachine (they didnt).

Srsly what is wrong with ppl :p
