Counter jungling is pretty innefective now.

Can we make a fix to this please? This isn't a QQ thread about Poachers being terrible, or how champions specifically designed for this type of role (Nunu being a main one) have an entire playstyle concept completely thrown out of the game because of how ineffective it is to do now. It's mainly to do with the amount of junglers that RELY off of farming for item 3930 (Devourer) or just so they can get power spikes from items can't coherently be effected simply by taking their jungle.

Remember when stealing a buff early on used to actually impact a jungler? Or how simply stealing two big monsters could effectively slow down an enemy junglers pressure on a lane due to fear of becoming behind from failed ganks AND not farming enough? It seems now all you have to do is just hold a lane while a solo laner recalls for a wave and you're immediately back in the game. I realize a big part of some of the changes to this were due to solo laners farming the jungle for increased experience and just getting a far bigger advantage against an opponent they're already beating or to just help them beat them.

Why does it have to be like this?

Well they mentioned buffing item 3711 in the preseason so hopefully counter jungling will give the opposing jungler an advantage. I don't think they wanna do too much to the jungle at this point in the season though.

Though I do agree that it's an issue.

^basically. What they said implies they're thinking about some drastic changes (eg total rework of poachers, changing how stealing enemy camps interact etc.), but with worlds right around the corner they don't want to potentially flip the meta upside down right beforehand
