Please. Just release at least two more jg champs this year. All I see in the lcs is rek'sai and gragas. Every single time.

Given how many junglers that exist, I think it's more telling about which junglers are currently wanted in this meta as well as how effective those two fill that niche.

Besides, in solo queue, as long as you don't tank the team composition, nearly any jungler can be used without a significant disadvantage.

the jungler role's been a 'king of the hill' match up ever since Lee was released. the amount of jungler's competitive with him were so small, they released Elise to be the 'Lee Killer' because none of the previous junglers could compete. Rek'Sai is another jungler that was clearly created solely to try to oust Lee from his #1 spot. Her kit's so overloaded but with the ways they've changed the jungle and the existence of Lee it has to be in order for her to even exist.

gragas is an interesting emergence i think, he's always been viable as a jungler but I guess they changed his numbers around enough until now that's the role he's best at. I actually think his presence is good for the game, all of his abilities are well telegraphed and he doesn't do anything outside his role of a tanky displacer, he's just really good at that role.

I think that means we need to balance those champions, not that we need to make new ones.

Hm. Honestly, I've seen a lot of different junglers from a lot of different regions. I've seen Rengar, Zac, and Xin Zhao. That's just off the top of my head, though.
