Which jungler gets level 3 first, successfully ganks around 3 minutes and proceeds to snowball, ending the game at 20-25 minutes. Junglers are way too strong right now.

I agree that it is stupid but laners should realize that if your lane is next to the enemy Krugs you should expect a level 3 cheese gank and play accordingly.

Its sucks but people are making it even worse and broken by not acknowledging it and not playing around it. All you need to do is play really defensive for the first few minutes of the lane phase and the jungler's big power spike will be over and you can go about your business.

What's unfair is that Blue Side gets so much more ganking power. I think that's what the OP is getting at, on how Red side bot lane has to play so defensively. Of course, I agree that Red side should be doing the same to top while Blue is ganking bot.

I know how to play against ganks. Even if ganks aren't there, they just end up Power farming and still keeping even levels with solo laners. It's completely ridiculous. I like the addition of the plants but the exp and farm rate has become absurd. The most impactful role in the game did not need additional help in the area of farm and exp.

You do realize that the jungle is worse for gold and experience than it was in s6, right?

That being said, the correct way to play jungle right now is to gank as often as possible. At this point, it doesn't matter if your ganks have a 25% chance of working, it's still worth doing. That's why Ivern is the best jungler right now, he has good ganks, and he spends almost no actual time in the jungle. And Hecarim has great ganks with summoner 6 and his E due to CotC. I used to often out-level AND out-gold solo laners on my Hecarim . Now I just try to keep up.

Wrong. Its better for gold/EXP. You hit lvl 6 now very early in your second clear.

You get jungle item+boots (or the gold equivalent) automatically on your first back.

You get about the same gold/exp over the course of 10 minutes, but you also have ~4 minutes of more that you can be pressuring anywhere on the map without losing gold/exp now.

revert jungle to season 6

it didn't need changes

Sahn UzalDec 3, 20163 votes

The Jungle was already really strong on Season 6. Buffing it even further was just straight up stupid imo :l

I should also add, in the event that neither jungler picked isna ganking jungler, they just powerfarm for 20 minutes and come out ahead of everyone and win 1 teamfight, take Baron and win the game off that push.

What about Lee Sin, Vi, and Hecarim?

I've never died to a level 3 cheese gank. Several have happened, but I reliably get away because I have the bush warded and don't push until I myself am level 3.

That said I want the exp to be reverted to eliminate that interaction.

WoonStruckDec 4, 20161 votes

The EXP change isn't what caused it.

Red->Krugs gave 2 before the change, yes...

But Krugs->Red still gave 3. This would still be a thing with a hard smiteless leash on large Krug, which, if done properly, doesn't even cause bot lane to lose gold/exp.

Even if that extra 15 seconds makes it less of a cheese, you can powerfarm so much harder because you still get the EXP via raptors without taking any damage basically if you clear them correctly at 3.

Jungle in general is too strong atm.

My bot lane went 0/21 in 20 minutes. The 2 minute bank tilted them off the planet

Yeah. I main top, but ive been playing jungle for a little bit for the past 2 days, havnt lost a game yet. Shit is too easy, you level up so quickly, and you dont have to worry about dying in your jungle almost at all.

Xela SyabDec 4, 20161 votes

You mean you should've warded right, sounds like you needed to get wards. I will admit that the Jungler is a huge part of this season, as a sup main my job feels like I need to invade jung and cheese and early kill when he's weak.
