I think JG is actually a little weak now
I'm pretty sure laners hate junglers but in reality, the nerf to XP hugely affected the role. I don't think JG's the best role to climb anymore. It's almost certianly Mid. I'm not sure what the best role is after that but there are many games where I make the enemy JG useless and have a large lead but can't carry. This was NOT the case at the start of the season. I might be able to optimize pathing but now I don't even reach level 6 as a JG until 7-8 minutes (making it really punishing to play level 6 dependent JGs).
