New JG Items
I'm not sure if this is the place to write this, since I haven't written on these boards since the old version. Anyway, while the new JG items are cool and all, I kind of wish they'd make the JG passive kind of a "buff" or some type of "enchantment." The new items definitely offer a bit more customization, as you get to choose what smite buff you want and then what kind of stats you'd like, but I still think it has the same problem of limiting champion jungle picks. I think it does a good job of offering a selection that caters to a wider audience, but I don't feel that any of the items are great buys for late game, and no matter which item you pick it ends up making the jg champion feel more like he is a bargain champion than a full force. I think a possible solution would be to take the current passive that allows you to jungle and make it into some kind of potion that can only be bought if you have smite, and maybe the potion can last for the whole game or several minutes until the jungler has time to get going. Usually after a certain level the passive just feels unnecessary anyway. Anyway, what are your thoughts? Interested in feedback.
