sooo instead of changing the jungle to promote non level 2 gankers

they just sprung for their usual "lets just blindly nerf jungle exp" that MADE level 2 gankers the issue? im convinced this change was just rushed and poorly thought out, so many high tier jg mains came out saying this was a bad change, most people in general who have any experience with the role said it was bad, but they just go ahead with it anyway. the item nerfs? great, needed and completely reasonable but if they wanna change the jg meta and stear it away from where it is now they can ruin camps as much as they want, level 2 gankers arent the ones affected by it, literally EVERY other type of jger is and this all started with the scuttle update taking heavy exp from every other camp and funneling it into scuttle which started this early game jger thing to begin with but no, lets nerf jg exp more that'll really help [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

In all honesty, the overall problem isn't that the jungle role has too much impact on the game, per se, the problem is that if there is any major discrepancy in the skill level of the two junglers, the better jungler almost always wins. This 9.2 patch will make the problem worse not better IMO, as it makes the bad junglers - the ones who only know how to farm and not know how to gank - even worse off than before, and rewards the junglers who are great at ganking. You're going to see the phrase "better jungler wins game" become, unfortunately, even more true than it was before.

Riot "balance team" always does this. They see that there is a problem with X. The players hate X. The players want X removed or weakened. The Buff X, nerf Y, then put it out in a patch with a new champion or rework and say something like, "We saw that this was a problem so we fixed it." It is an interesting strategy really.

Meanwhile Karthus is the best Jungler in the game and he's a power farmer not a lvl 2 ganker, and he benefits the jungle changes more than the gankers
