Don't get me wrong, I'm all for change in League of Legends, I just think that what might be coming to the jungle and river is too much. Don't fix whats not broken. Anyone agree? If not please explain.

Edited

I think the changes to the jungle will just make champs like Lee Sin or anyone with fast wave clear that much more powerful. I don't think the jungle changes will fix anything.

Well, they needed to do something to the jungle, because it is broken. When the only viable junglers are those that can gank and deal lots of damage, something is wrong. While the changes are a bit extreme, I'm interested in seeing how they go and if I can pick Sej/Naut/other tanky junglers and not feel like I'm giving my team a handicap when the enemy inevitably picks Lee Sin.

Just wondering, have you played it yourself? because every video of PBE gameplay I have seen makes it look like they are wrecking early game junglers like Lee sin REALLY hard. The camps will basically murder EVERYONE before getting an upgrade to their machete, and you basically have to clear jungle until level 5 before you are caught up enough to gank. Also, the upgrades for gankers and invaders (like Lee), are horrible in comparison to the others. Right now you basically have to take either the AOE smite or the reduced cool down smite to clear and stay alive. Lee sin is going to die out hard with these changes.

P.S. Jungle is totally broken and unbalanced right now, even you say that in how you say that Lee Sin will get stronger (Implying that he is overly strong right now).

Don't fix whats not broken.

It's too bad this phrase doesn't actually apply well.

"Don't fix what's not broken" is what people default to when they don't have a good reason for opposing changes. Instead of that, actually talk about these and why you think they're bad. Don't say the changes are "too much", because once again, that just means you hate drastic change. Tell us why you think this current jungle is better or worse than the one they have proposed on the PBE. "I'm used to it" isn't a valid argument.

The jungle changes aren't bad, they're just a really heavy change. The pathing changes to Golems/Wight -> Wraiths/Wolves -> Buffs. This means that the jungler is in the jungle longer, since now they don't ramp up an early game advantage as fast by doing their first buff alone. The different smite buffs helps pre-6 gankers slow down their targets, or for junglers with slow clears to AoE off the smaller monsters.

I do hate when I die to the gromp, but whatever.
