Any jungle changes you would like to see in season 8?

I personally liked some of the jungle changes Riot made in season 7. Such as plants, smite heal instead of special interactions like in season 6, and just less jungle xp overall. That might be wrong to say it that way, I guess just longer camp spawn times. Although as a jungle main I preferred season 6 in solo queue, I will admit I think the role is more fair in season 7. Season 6 jungle was pretty overturned with junglers most games being highest level in the game and solo carrying games. I mean... it was damn fun.... but I can admit it was a little BS.

The one concept added I see analyst and players complain about is catch up experience. I have to agree, the catch up experience in game is just too overturned right now. There is no real incentive to out farm enemy jungler (besides gold) because they can easily catch up in levels. This leads to ganking taking priority over farming. Especially ganking bot side since we in such an adc meta right now.

Now I will admit I am low elo and really don't know all that much about it. But you can just feel in games... like... its so hard to outplay enemy jungler because the risk and reward compared to last season is just not there. The catch up xp change really kind of put me off playing jungle. I mean yea... I am no pro so I should embrace it but meh. If I get super out played I deserve to get way behind and although you can fall behind its really damn hard to punish enemy jungler like it was in season 6. Counter jungling almost seems like a waste of time a lot of the time. That and just the snowball meta we in it's just easier to gank over & over and hope for team to carry.

I wish Riot would tone down catch up experience a bit, so junglers had more risk for going for early ganks. It would also be nice to buff turrets a bit next season and get out of this adc for win meta. The dream in my eyes is for all roles to have equal contribution to games. Where every role felt like they have a 20% change to really carry the game. It's probably impossible to do this but I think it would make sense for Riot to start focusing on balancing roles this way. Although balancing around LCS can be hard and may make this impossible. Junglers right now in pro play and in worlds just going to be glorified tank supports. Not my favorite meta that's for sure.

Be cool if next season there was more trade offs. Like going tank to peel for team worked well, but so would going an assassin or bruiser. All can work right now in solo queue but tanks are most favored and highest win percentage.

That's it. Nothing else.

I feel like they should add maybe some kind of day/night thing, or maybe even add thunderstorms instead of just regular rain cycle

ofc these are all just visual, but it still would be nice
