Game is 100% decided by junglers
This is the worst state this game has ever been, I've been playing since S1 and I have to tell you ...
Never was this game this bad.
Keystones being so broken means that the 1st item you buy isn't that detrimental in a fight = the only disadvantage junglers had over laners is now half gone.
Now, with the addition of plants and ridiculous smite heals junglers are at full HP all the time while ganking AND farming.
Red smite is so insanely busted item that I CANNOT believe it wasn't nerfed yet.
I left top lane completely, you are 100% jungle dependant to do ANYTHING, simply because their jungler is clearing faster than ever and if they notice you are playing aggressive ... Well ... You're in for a bad time.
Junglers have access to the entire map, they have to be weaker than the laners NOT stronger. Red smite makes it so that any jungler can 1v1 any laner in the game at any point of time - it's actually pathetic.
Introduction of "Smites on champs" was the worst thing ever. It made junglers require so much less skill, broke the weaknesses of certain junglers and made their strengths even more oppressive.
I mean just go ahead and watch a few streams you will see lee Q + auto + Q + thunderlord proc + blue smite doing 80% of laner's hp in like 2 seconds it's INSANE.
Junglers are the true kings of early game and then they become massive duelists in the mid game , how ridiculous is that? Late they fall off I guess , but a good jungler ends the game before 25 mins.
I rarely come to these forums to complain but this red smite thing has gone on for too long, you can't justify it, you can't outplay it and the amount of gold value it holds is absolutely RIDICULOUS.
Yes I am playing jungle now whenever I can simply so I don't have to deal with jungler bullshit unkillable with 1 dmg item.
Before when playing I had a plan to harass the enemy to 20% hp or lower so that I can never get ganked, but that plan doesn't work at all anymore since junglers are capable of 100>0 you in 3 secs and they can even gank you while being higher level than you (first couple of ganks in the early game).
I mean, I was playing the other day and lee came with double buffs at 2:50 or something I was lv2 him being lv3 , what could I do? How could I expect that shit anyway ?
