Jungle woes

Incoming salty rant

What the hell are up with these jungle changes? I feel like I cant do anything. Unless you choose lee sin or panth you are worthless in this new game. as a jungle main I find it difficult to do anything at all. If I gank I fall behind in levels, if I farm my team bitches and whines at me and I still have less gold than everyone else, and God forbid if you get killed early on, you are pretty much effed for the rest of the game. I don't want to HAVE to play Lee, panth, warwick, or xin to be successful in the jungle. I got to gold last season playing jungle and carrying games but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO riot doesn't like that so they nerf the jungle to worse-than-support levels. looks like im switching to mid lane, like all the other junglers i know.

I'm sure this is the millionth post like this but I just have to vent because this new jungle makes me not want to play league; which is a great game! I actually dread logging in and trying jungle. I've tried better runes, better masteries and nothing helps. It was a neat idea but it ****ing blows in practice. If you think about it, the 'perks' you get for smiting jungle minions are worthless. A stun every 6 hits? Worthless AOE damage? it all blows because it isn't worth it because you dont get enough gold or exp to sustain (unless you are ww, yi, fiddle, xin, snorsville champions). You are spending what LITTLE gold you get on health pots and mana potions. Im sure Riot is too proud to admit the changes suck though so I guess it's time to switch to solo lanes until they see the light. eventually no one is going to want to play jungle. Take Nightblue for instance, he said he's going to openly play more mid lane this season because these jungle changes are a farce.

I just can't wrap my brain around these changes. I feel like Riot wants all the jungle mains to be content with effectively being low tier, ineffective players. "You're a jungle main, huh? WELL **** YOU! HA!"

I know it's preseason but judging from the PBE/patch notes, Riot isn't in any hurry to buff the jungle or other junglers. And dont tell me to play the boring ass junglers like ww, xin, and fiddle. I shouldnt HAVE to play only those champions to be successful, but I do, and it's damn disgusting, Just put junglers out of their misery and remove jungle monsters because riot hates that part of their game.

Oh and BTW, solo laners still steal my jungle camps but riot wants to nerf our ability to farm in lanes. what a ****ing joke.

I could write many more pages but I'm just gonna stop here. bye
