"Low Elo players have preferred the jungle position least of all 5 positions"

I had to double check when I read this to make sure Riot wasn't trolling when they wrote this in order to warrant champion buffs on champions that don't clearly jungle like Zed.

Low elo players have never preferred jungle because it DOESN'T give them the thrill of a player vs player game that laning does. Low elo players play for kills and NOT the macro. This is why ARAM mid is so common in most low elo games after laning phase. They want the kills and nothing else. They want to PvP

Jungle on the other hand is for those who want to use their brain macro sense and enjoy strategic gameplay. Low elo players clearly don't want that. This is why jungle becomes more preferred in higher elo because a good jungler can still 1v9 win you a game.

So how on earth does this warrant a buff for champions like Zed and Talon jungle? The amount of stupidity that comes with balancing around low elo is essentially the result of this and this is why we should NEVER balance around people who play casually and love to fiesta.

Don't even try to warrant buffs on champions for the sake they can jungle and appeal more players. You want low elo players to enjoy jungling? Give them a true PvP experience like smite rewards.

Well.. i mean.. Everything below like Diamond 3 is counted as low elo so.. u just flamed hella elos lol.. Jungle isn't prefered because its just such a boring role thats butchered, in our current farm meta, its like playing AI and if you get behind at all, ur stuck behind. Need to PUNISH more for not taking OBJs, quite tired of seeing JNGs not take dragon when we are in THE DRAGON META, where the dragon basically rules who beats who.

if RIOT said this some where.. it just goes to show how absolutely clueless they are.

Low elo people do not want to jungle.. because jungle gets blamed for everything in a game...

Are you losing your lane? it is because jungle did not gank for you.. Did the opposing jungler steal dragon with a well timed flash and smite... it is because the jungler sucks, had nothing to do with Bottom ignoring pings and refusing to help secure dragon.. Did the opposing team come steal your blue and top jungle and get your jungler behind.. and now they have no way to catch up to be a factor? again jungler sucks.. had nothing to do with the fact that neither top or mid could be bothered to even put up a ward for you.. even after you asked..

Higher elo players understand you have to help jungle early so that your jungle can help you later...low elo players only want to flame the jungler and blame them for the loss..

That is why no low elo players want to jungle.. no one wants to be the scapegoat
