Funny Thing With Jungle...

So Riot changed the scuttle because there was too much pressure on laners at that time, and it was tilting them etc, right?

So what about the jg now? I can't speak for high rank, I won't ever be getting there, but down here in silver where the large share of players are, the losing jungler gets flamed every single game. Every. Single. Game. Often by entire team. Some games both junglers are getting team flamed at the same time! I could easily make a video where I load for 10 games and we see if there isn't jg shaming every game. It's ridiculous and at some point almost like organized bullying with Riot.

Seriously, stop before you go on automatic, they moved that scut cause gosh golly too hard and dooming for laners, but jg flamed every game now. You never get autofilled out of jf if that the role you choose, cause numbers for it dropping, and this is why.

For the jungler, it's not even a race to get levels anymore like it for normal players and jg before, it's a race to get level diff with other jg. You can't keep up with rest of laners without huge kill advantage, farming won't do it, so this is the best strategy for jg right now, and it just makes it more insane and aggressive. The only way to keep up is to gank gank gank gank, but doing that is risky and then blammo: Whole team flaming because you expected to gank all lanes, countergank, secure dragons, rift, barons, team fights, and don't feed my lane bro!

It's crazy.

Can't call you a bad jungler if your title is "Top Support".

In all seriousness, there is no way that I have found to be able to "play from behind" as jungler. Jungle is the ultimate coin flip.

the scuttler changes this patch are WAY better than anything that's been going on beforehand with the jungle this year. junglers ALWAYS get flamed, so just mute everyone. focus on your own play

In silver it is basically almost always the jungler's fault if they lose. I almost win every game as jungle in silver.
