I got autofilled jungle. Then was given my secondary jungle pick for another 4 times..
Because the system wouldn't allow me to play my preferred role; mid. So don't ever pick mid/Jung if you want to mid.....friendly advice.
But that said...
I really don't know why people complain about jungle. I don't even like the role but the strategic impact is far more rewarding than the older lane camp and carry impact of the role. As an older gamer that prefers brains over burst I find it refreshingly rewarding.
Strangely this is gold 3 and I was even outfarming my laners.
I was able to hamstring the enemy jungler impact better by predicting their farming patterns.
I was able to take both heralds in most games because players have become so blinded by 'dragons'...
Think in about 3/4 games I got the first two dragons too but my bot and mid didn't know how to use their advantages so happily fed.
Speaking of which why the fking hell do Gold 3 players still have random team fights and get ace'd when the dragon spawns in like 10 more seconds?? This seems to happen all the time. Don't players think???
But on topic I think jungles great. The slower do gains open up all kinds of champs to the role and like how people first though infernal was better than cloud I think as the year progresses people will come to see the benefits the new jungle.
Best of all this is going to make players lane win conditions more dependent on their skill. Another plus.
