riot and the jungle
hey, as a main jg and top lane, i was concerned about this new smite thing. Here are my problems. First, the smite gives health back and thats it. This will screw many mana junglers when they smite blue and only get some health. Also, some junglers preffer a smiteless leash so that they can use the smite on red/blue. Also, the raptor vision is very useful. The krug stun is nice for clear. Also, there is a bit of strategy involved in smiting. This is not making it easier for starters. Mebe it is, but the system currently is that when people learn about smite and the jungle, they get rewarded, this is like champions. When someone learns like azir a lot, they dominate. Also, i agree with riot giving them smite at lvl 1. They dont rely get the feel of jungle cause they cant.
Next, there is plants. I know they always try 2 be innvoative, but this, is a mistake, i believe. The vision i assume is supposed 2 replace raptor. Here is my problem with that. The range is SO far, and if your someone like yi or kog maw or ivern, that is supposed 2 stay passive in the jg, they will get screwed. Also, i want some clarity on how they will spawn. I really dont want it to be random, because some junglers can unevenly get ahead of others. Also, in professional play, one jungler could be one level ahead because of these plants, such as using the heal to not back and stay farming jungle camps.
In the end this is my opinion, and i personally think this is a mistake. They will prob put it in anyway, but ok
