I don't like the new dragons.

Instead of a 2nd Herald prompting Junglers to focus top more, there is literally no incentive to take Herald or help top. Why?

  1. Demolish is more useful than Herald. That's right. Why take Herald at any point when you can just have a toplaner take Demolish and get more out of it AND it is more useful long term as well since Herald (if you take both) will get probably 2 total charges, maybe 4 at best. Demolish has far higher potential.

  2. Dragon Soul is too strong. Again, neither Jungler needs to go top because of the fact that that dragons are so much more valuable. But now, the dragon itself is not valuable (most dragons have less impact thatn pre 9.22), but rather that the first team to get the soul has a high chance to win.

Essentially, top lane has an even lower chance to carry. I don't like that. And I know top laners hate junglers going top, but this meta encourages only ganking mid or bot lane, which I don't think is very fair. I'd like for top to have more impact, but I can't see that happening without also increasing the number of ganks that top will get, and current changes just reduce top's impact in the game.

Furthermore, bot and mid are now pretty much the only lanes to gank, as per reasons described above. I can't imagine that mains of these roles are happy.

On top of this, the jungle meta is stupid. Early game dragon taking is now the name of the game. According to https://u.gg/lol/tier-list/?role=jungle, the best junglers are the ones that can solo dragons. Let's check this out (Plat +):

Warwick has a 54% WIN RATE. THIS IS INSANE. And why is he so good now? Because he can easily solo dragons. Who else is here? Olaf...similar to Warwick...Nunu...same thing....the best junglers are the ones that can easily solo dragons.

It's not fun. Not everything is viable or good. Dragons are warping the game around them to an extent that is too great. Elder I don't think is terrible, but I think the threshold should probably go to 10% HP, not 20.

I'd like to see jungle changes reverted. Give back more gold and xp. Make any 3 camps level 3. Keep the sapwn time changes. Keep the dragon changing the map-it's cool, but it literally has nothing to do with dragon soul, so I see no reason to remove it even if Dragon soul is removed.

Give us back a fun jungle that hasn't been here for all of Season 9.
