Preseason Jungle

Honestly when I saw they got rid of catch up experience I realized how shitty my games would be when the enemy locked in an early game jungler. Now all you really need to do in jungle to climb throughout gold and platinum is level one invade, steal enemy buff, and then just keep chasing the enemy jungler down in their jungle. I've seen this happen so many times already and once the enemy jungler is ahead it is way too easy to snowball the leads without the other team being able to catch up in experience. I do like these changes but it makes it where jungling relies more on laners rotating early now that invading is such a high priority. Am I wrong? Please tell me if there is something I'm missing but just some games seem unwinnable when the enemy smurf Evelynn gets ahead, takes all objectives, and one shots everyone.(and its not just Evelynn who can do that)

You need to scout the enemy jg ward accordingly and then just vertical jg if they steal a buff. I highly doubt you are vsing that many smurfs either in that elo to impact your WR that much.

the enemy smurf

See right there is the problem with your view of the jungle changes.

An Enemy Smuf jungler would mob the floor with you no matter the changes. They are a smurf.

If they are not a smurf and you are getting owned in your own jungle then ask your team to help and start warding your jungle. 100% you will kill that jungler and get some shutdown gold.

Yeah I know you need to vertical jungle, I used to play jungle but I really don't enjoy playing the role because it feels to tedious at times, I made this post for my junglers because no one really handles a level 1 invading shaco my bot will just sit and watch shaco harass my jungler and I dont run tp so I cant really help him either.

You're not wrong, except when you mention Eve still being viable.
