game is basically at the mercy of junglers right now

every ban needs to be dedicated to junglers (eve, zac, khazix, graves, hecarim, nidalee, elise)

if your jungle doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't know where to be and when you will get zero objectives (which are busted OP in this meta like mountain/infernal drake), barons, elders, or ganks

optimizing clears leads to just as much gold income/more than a solo laner

perhaps make this role not as OP next season

Jungle isn't even that OP right now. It's just stale. It's at the end of the season, where everyone knows what to do. Also, the only junglers that really need bans currently are Nidalee, Graves, and Nunu only if you don't know how to deal with his kit and don't understand jungle pathing. Other than that, there are no necessary bans for the jungle. People say Zac is OP, but he only gets banned because people hate how he ganks. Also, the only way that a jungler will get more gold than a solo laner is if they are good at the role and know how to snowball. When I play Nid in diamond games if I mess up once in the early game and let the enemy jungler get ahead of me, I am just boned. What should change about the jungle right now is the ability to rubberband better rather than getting wrecked from a few early mistakes or enemy outplays.

Um, have you considered investing in wards? Okay, in all seriousness though, the jungle is not broken or anything like that. The jungle is the most complicated thing to play in league, as I have to balance out ganking with my own farm, trying to guess where the enmey jungler is so I could get a cheeky drake sneak in, or simply warding. But in return, I get to play a position that if played well, can easily win your team the game from key ganks, a key drake steal or even just counter jungling the hard carry jungler that needs to get fed in order to win. However, if I get behind or mess up a gank or what have you, well I tend to play hard carry junglers like Rengar, and getting behind with him is even worse than feeding a Katarina or a Jax. The highs are really high as a jungler and the lows are rock bottom, simply put, I'm either going to be the hero or the scapegoat. And I'd have it no other way. Nerfing the jungle would mean my impact would be lowered, so even if I'm playing well I don't get the same kind of highs like getting that quadra as Rengar and only having the penta be stolen by a Soraka. But still have the same kind of lows, people would then stop playing the jungle, and it would be sad.
