Riot, if you're looking for a Jungler to help you work through the new changes I volunteer.

I've been a jungle main for the past 4 seasons, and have played a substantial amount of games. I have experience in the gaming industry. I worked briefly for Rockstar Games in NYC.

I hadn't really thought about the problems with the jungle much until it blew up on Reddit the last few days. I was aware that there was a small set of truly viable jungle champions, but didn't real see it as a problem to this scale because the strong champions were ones I enjoyed playing. However, over my time playing League, I have literally had stints playing every jungler imaginable. Yes, I was even playing jungle Karma, Nasus, and Volibear before Diamond picked it up in season 3!

I made a guide to jungle and posted it to Reddit a few days. It got decently popular. See here (http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2x57mk/establishing_a_meta_the_season_5_jungle_all_you/)

I was going to make a follow up video about how I think there should be an early game jungle ROA or Sunfire-like item, but you guys beat me to the punch! It seems a little redundant to make a video offering an idea that has already been pitched! I have the experience, I have the knowledge, I have the creativity, I have the time. If you need a man, I am your man.

If you take nothing else from this post, take this. Be careful about how you approach the situation. Champions like, Nautilus, Diana, Mundo, Fiora, Tryndamere, and Gangplank, are weak junglers right now because they are bad champions to jungle, not because of the jungle. They don't fit the role of what a jungler should be. Junglers should be strong early game based, mobile champions with high amounts of utility. They should have the ability to be the catalyst to make early game plays for the team to push their team towards victory. This is the mold you should try to shoot for.

Try to work toward closing the gap between Lee, J4, Vi, and Res'kai closer to champions like Elise, Wukong, Rammus Sejuani, Zac, Amumu, Nunu, Kha'zix, Xin Zhao, Aatrox, Nocturne and Cho'Gath. Please don't create a jungle where Soraka, Zyra, Vayne, Ahri, and Leona are viable. That is just as unhealthy as having 4 viable junglers.

Best of luck guys, I can't wait to see what you can do. I hope you invite me to become a part of it!
