The real issue with Jungle (and why one jungler always carries) is the scuttle changes

now i don't remotely expect for this game to be playable again... i have already started playing path to exile. but that not going to keep me from checking back. and i just checked the pbe changes. and low and behold more jungler changes... and as always riot is completely blind to the issue. becuase

SOLO QUE INS'T A 5 MAN TEAM WITH VOICE CHAT TEAM CO-ORDINATION AND ALLIES WHO CAN PROPERLY WARD YOU CANNOT BALANCE THE GAME AS IF IT IS

i dont expect to come back to league, but im certainly not going to if every single game i want to play my main if have to fight over a scuttle at lvl 2 when im at 15% hp and dont have a heal.

scuttle crab was where i healed up. it was for vision.. it was to scout for invades when if i got behind.

you took away trackers so i can no longer ward my jungle you took away wolf smite .. and then you took away scuttle so now if i am behind then i know the enemy jungler will be there so that's where i DON'T go.

jungle is a fucking nightmare because there is no vision and i don't have enough wards to spot for invades.

and as a squishy champions who can die in about .5 second if an enemy is sitting in a bush watching me do a camp and waiting for me to get low.

this means if u fall behind.. the enemy jungler can easily invade u with complete impunity and snowball.

no one in solo que reacts fast enough to help the jungler. not without voice chat.

and sure if your a 5 man pro player team with voice coms and were every player wards properly then this isnt an issue

BUT THAT'S JUST IT

SOLO QUE INS'T A 5 MAN TEAM WITH VOICE CHAT TEAM CO-ORDINATION AND ALLIES WHO CAN PROPERLY WARD YOU CANNOT BALANCE THE GAME AS IF IT IS

THAT is why the removal of trackers knife made jungle hell, and is why i quit.

because u see "Oh "X" is an issue in pro play and we can fix it if we do "Y"

and never give a rats fucking ass if you change "Y" complete fucks over the experience for everything else.

you say "you don't balance around pro play"

IGNORING HOW A CHANGE DIRECTED AT PRO PLAY EFFECT NON PRO PLAY.. IS BALANCED AROUND PRO PLAY.

again i repeat

SOLO QUE INS'T A 5 MAN TEAM WITH VOICE CHAT TEAM CO-ORDINATION AND ALLIES WHO CAN PROPERLY WARD YOU CANNOT BALANCE THE GAME AS IF IT IS.

yes... jungle easily has the highest impact on the game.

and its bloody fucking obvious why and yet u still cant see it.

its because as soon as one jungler gets ahead... they take the whole fucking map. and the opposing jungler cant do jack shit to get back in the game.. while they are getting invaded and counter jungled

meanwhile the winning jungler gets tons of exp and gold pushing their lead further ahead.

and BECAUSE U MAKE US FUCKING FIGHT AT SCUTTLE

WHOEVER WINS THAT FIGHT ALMOST ALWAYS WINS THE JUNGLE

more often that not when i played jungle in the last few games before i quit

games were not decided by first blood, first tower, first inhib., first baron, rift.

their fucking decided by w/e jungler gets an 500 gold lead first

THAT is what wins the game.

because thats all it takes to kick the other jungler out of the game and turn the game into a 6v4 because that jungler and their jungle are now just food for the other jungler.

now of course riot is never going to address this... of course they're going to nerf jungle exp more because " jungler always decides the game"

and because they never fucking bother to ask the question of WHY one jungler can so easily carry the game. and WHY the other jungler cant stop them from doing so.

you cant fucking have junglers fight the other junglers without wards.scuttle vision, wolf smite, minions.. or towers to defend them.

these are all the thing we don't have to defend us in the jungler that we had or laners have.

and its why when u get ahead or fall behind in the jungle you STAY that way
