Virtually every game in Plat+ elo is decided by the jungler.

I've gone through every one of my matches, and one thing remains true in all of them:

the better jungler wins almost all of the time.

In almost all cases, the jungler is the deciding factor in the game. Sure, you can have some miscellaneous games where the Talon mid went 12/0 at 10 minutes, but the jungler is the most constant factor in every victory.

I'm really getting sick and tired of watching my bot lane die at level 5 and lose their tower because of a single jungle gank. Junglers used to be afraid of ganking. Yeah, picture that. Back in Season 3-5, a failed gank meant you could potentially die 1v2. But now, junglers have SO MUCH damage/CC/tankiness that as soon as they appear in your lane, you're fucked.

Brilliant game design by Riot, move all deciding power out of the lane.

That is true and untrue at the same time. While yes, junglers have huge impact right now, one can be more impactful than the other on the basis of how bad or good their team is.

You can be the best jungler in the world, and youre not going to be able to reliably gank for a lane that is getting destroyed. Not successfully atleast.

Also It sounds like youre indirectly complaining about WW
