I am curious why did they remove jungle buffs? I know it was a while back but they popped into my head and I never really understood why they were removed
I had most fun playing a jungler when they were their, I was always jungling but now I barely jungle
God forbid we play anything other than early game, hyper mobile mega-pressure gank junglers.
Change for the sake of change really.
I know part of the issue was riot felt players were just smiting the strongest camps, limiting variety in clears routes and smite usage, on top of some of the buffs being really strong (raptors was overall amazing, gromp was broken on certain champs, krugs made clears extremely strong for certain junglers, wolves was basically a gate from plays happening on that corner of the map.)
Looking back then though, would pref that jungle way more then the current, or at least some revival of that, jg is boring rn.
It was part of jungle bi yearly fucking.
It was basically one big way to take power out of the jungle role. Plants aren't gated by smite.
because the only one that was viable was the vision one from wraiths
