Junglers Gain Way Too Much Gold

OMGMikeWTF··1 votes·922 views

So I've been noticing lately that junglers despite having less kill participation and less farm they get way more gold than other roles. The screenshot below is just an example of this. I personally think this is unbalanced and should therefore be corrected in order to achieve a more balanced game.

Please feel free to comment your thoughts on this.

CS is a bad measure for junglers because they get a lot more gold per monster kill than minion kill. Also, you're looking at end game stat. Junglers are deprived of gold during laning phase because they can't farm minions.

Nothing to see here folks, just another vayne main being salty.

Vayne probably killed the same 50g support over and over again while jax continuously shut people down.

...Jax only had 50 less CS than his ADC and a giant heap of kills. Of course he had a ton of gold.

also depends on what team had most towers and how many barons they got. Jungle camps give about 120-140 gold i think with the upgraded item. which = about 6 melee minions or 8 casters. I think jungle gold is very good if you only sit in the jungle you can prob out gold anyone who is laning since you dont have to last hit and dont lose gold to the tower. but as a jungler you have to apply pressure an worry about your camps being stolen.

And what about the Vayne? More kills more assists and more CS yet 4k gold behind.

She had more cs but more of that was lane cs. Jax farmed jungle monsters, which give more gold per cs because it takes longer to farm them. This cs score tells me that Jax out farmed her later in the game, or she would have been significantly behind in cs due to killing jungle creeps throughout the early game. Her cs advantage should be much higher if she was actually oufarming him.

As for having more kills, that means nothing without context. If Vayne got fed early, she might have gotten 6-8 kills on the enemy bot lane until they were each worth only 100 gold. Meanwhile, Jax cold have been getting shutdowns. His team could have had more barons or towers which would give him more gold. Context is everything here, and we have no context. From what we know, it looks perfectly fair.

jax had reasonably close farm to you and we cant see whether they had taken more towers barons dragons etc also after laning phase is over and teamfighting starts junglers usually end up helping with waveclear and pushing, and for all we know jax could've been splitpushing a ton

regardless of your statement not being true, junglers deserve to be paid more, since they have to rush from one lane to the other and have a stream of customer service requests "gank!" "why no gank?" "I died it's your fault" and so on.

junglers need one new item: "teleport to top, mid and bot lane simultaneously. 10 seconds cooldown"
