Jungle experience nerfs encourage ganking more than farming.

I have seen multiple games where one jg is up in cs but one to two levels behind the other jg.
This is do to the fact the other jg has successfully ganked a lane and gotten a kill or assited in one gaining more experience.

I thought the idea of a the jg exp nerf was to make sure junglers had to cs more (meaning that they wouldn't be constantly ganking) to stay relevant but instead it seems like they are snowballing ahead of the other jungler by just ganking.

Just as Riot intended. AFK farming lacks the kind of game impact that spam ganking and objective control has. I personally prefer it this way.

They're completely trolling in those patch notes since forever now, idk how people haven't caught up yet. Whatever they say in there it's probably the exact opposite in reality.

I see the same issues the game is based around the jungle now more than ever and it really places pressure on that role. how much you can fall behind and lose early from 1 fuckup really shows

snowball meta is the way to go right now, thats why olaf ekko and other early dominant picks are great right now. that being said the jungle being proactive and gank oriented really makes the fact that you need to dominate lane slightly redundant. like toplane is just a free buffet now but botlane is what should be prioritized for the drake control

i know thats the point of ganks and the jungle by far to stop junglers from being the role that gets uncontested free farm scaling but I'd like to play a game of 5v5 Summoners Rift that actually goes longer than a TFT game and isnt decided by 13 mins when the drake goes down
