Level 2 Gank meta is insufferable

At least when you got level 3 ganked, you had some time in lane.

Now you literally walk into lane, and on the first wave you get ganked. This is so much worse because they most likely won't kill you, but chunk you for 40%+ health and/or burn summs. Which means you have two options: sit in lane and get fucked until the first back because there is literally nothing you can do at that health disadvantage, or back and face level 1 vs level 3 laner.

Its jsut so god damn tilting because the jungler literally loses nothing to just run across your lane and combo your ass one time, especially if they're a stronger duelist than ur jungler.

Happened in my game once on accident. Was playing udyr top and wanted to cheese the enemy top laner with Udyr's double Q. But my jungler got pissy that I wasn't going to leash their blue so they came up to try to help and failed the gank.

so not every time it happens is an intentional thing.

This is known as the Scuttle change effect, only treatment options to bring jungle to a healthy/healthier level is to push back the super duper massive gold/experience scuttle crab to 15-20 min point in game or outright revert it and adjust the experience given by camps so Junglers are hitting 3 at same time solo laners are and not falling below the supports levels later in game.

That is if you want to bring back jungle champion diversity so you wont have to deal with the level 2 stuff often or the old 3-3:30 level ganks when you aren't level 2-3 yet.
