Has Riot gone full retard for season 5?

Kalista's release and the absolute fucking dumpstering of the jungle. In S4 you could jungle literally any champion you wanted, and not fall behind gold and xp. Season 5 is just... what is this crap. There's like only 3 or 4 junglers that are actually worth a damn, and Riot's nerfing the jungle items even further because they make WW even more overpowered. Not to mention they buff the monsters while completely eliminating sustain. 10 hp/5 is not sustain. It does fucking nothing when only affects you IN COMBAT. We had more sustain from the S3 spirit stone.

The only reason I don't say revert these changes completely is because s4 jungle didn't exactly start out so great either. But why change it in the first place??? It was near perfect! Just because pros only bought Lizard you decide to run everything for the other 99.5% of your player base? You really think by switching things up pros just won't just find the newest best thing to abuse?

And the Dragon changes... Wtf was the point of this? It makes games snowball harder than ever. Every game 1 team gets all the dragons and the other gets none, that's what happens when you take away the gold and give away the stacking bonus. The team that's behind can never go for dragon because the risk is too great for no gold and a measly 1 stack, while the team that's ahead while snowball out of control from the stack 3 - 5 bonuses.

Actually now that I think about it they should just revert everything and delete Kalista. These changes have done NOTHING but make the game worse. But we know they won't, because Riot's too stubborn to admit they're wrong until a year or so has passed.

Someone obviously failed in new jungle. You have to play someone really tanky to take damage. Sion does fairly well.

Also, dragon is better now. It no longer is basically just taking a tower. It means something.

The new jungle is everything I wanted in the jungle, it allows more strategic pathing rather than starting a buff. You ofarmbviously failed at the new jungle and also failed at ganking, as the new jungle involves you to gank at level 2/3. You can still play with any champion in the jungle if you play your cards right. AND FOR PLEASE THE LOVE THAT IS ALL TEEMOS, do not get Stalkers blade on a tanky jungler or a jungler that just farms. Rangers is the best item in the jungle and allows sustain. And about the new champion,Kalista... if you know how to play her and know how to deal with her, she is going to be the best ADC champion in the game. I have not once gotten a trolly Kalista, and as of current, Kalista is one of the fun champions, I am able to save my ally from a gank when I already escaped, and I am able to go all in with my ally to take away a double kill for me and my teammate.

I agree with all of this kalista is bullshit and the new jungle is the opposite of what they should have done. Champs that were just bad before are now literally unplayable. It sucks and riot is fucking never going to be able to balance this game with how stupid they are being.

Because only having three junglers be viable due to their immense pressure and ability to shut out any other jungler was near perfect!

Won a game last night where my team only had one dragon and no baron, other team had four dragons and had gotten baron twice, we still won. FYI, those bonuses aren't so impressive until you hit the late game, so no, they don't snowball.

These changes have done NOTHING but make the game worse.

Actually, I'm enjoying it more now that I can find methods and strategies for making other junglers work.

The jungle changes were necessary in my opinion. It needs some tweaking (Dragon in particular), but the changes improve strategy.

I agree on Kalista though. She is utter cancer that should never have been released.
