Carries do not belong in the jungle

Jungling is a supportive role that's intended to trade map influence+safer gold income than lanes for weak scaling. Risk-free PvE should not be a gateway to hard scaling. The safest role to farm from should absolutely not have the means to solo laners with dumb shit items like item 3715, nor should they be able to scale on anywhere near equal terms to a well-farmed laner unless they're being funneled or they're extremely fed. Push the jungle back towards something closer to season 2. Jungling should be primarily for champions who do not heavily depend on gold and just need enough gold+XP to remain relevant. Tanks, supports (yes, we SHOULD encourage more supports in the jungle; Ivern is simply not enough), and early game champions that focus on ganking or counter jungling the enemy, such as Lee Sin and Elise.

Champions who are meant to scale well and snowball should be pushed off and rebalanced into lanes where their kits actually make sense.

The simple fact of the matter is that junglers scaling anywhere near as well as laners who take far more into account before they can actually scale (an opposing laner, wave management, the enemy jungler etc) is toxic to the game; despite how you might claim to the contrary because you haven't seen it in a while, almost nobody enjoys metas where the jungler can PvE in complete isolation and then come out as strong as or stronger than laners. The only time junglers come at risk of being poached on their camps is if they've played their hand too far and overstayed in a lane long enough to be stolen from safely, or if all 3 lanes are losing and pushed, which usually means the game is over anyway.

Let's fix the game, now, Riot. You know what needs to be done.

Safest? Are you low elo? Jungle is the least safe. Any laner can just walk in there and kill you, they are just too dumb to do that and they don't ward enemy jng.

Jng supportive role? Since when? Kha zix is support? Rengar too? Shaco? Kayn? There is only one supportive champion in jng, maybe two if counting Nedalee.

Jungle is suppoused to carry. Laners should play around their jungler and help him in every situation he is in. That is how League works.

Ganking wasn't the main priority of jng, it was farming jungle camps, but Riot forgot about that and now we have a shitshow with lvl 2 ganks and junglers with 3/0 at the same level as support.

Nerfing exp is incorrect. They should nerf what makes jng so powerful, which is ... ganking. Lvl gankers were never this strong. Like, i am doing lvl 2 every single game, getting first kill and carrying solo. Because that nerf was bad.

Junglers have enough influence over the match with objectives, but Riot wants us to gank 24/7. If they nerfed ganking and buffed farming, we would have to stay in jng. However faming is useless now and we have to babysit every single game.

League 2019, one jungler babysits bot, the other top. Nobody has fun.

And yes, skirmisher's saber was strong, but now is useless, as well as stalker's blade. Why do they even exist, they do almost nothing now.
