The jungler has an hilariously high impact on the game

It was a problem in the early part of the season (lvl3 vs lvl 1 botlane gank), and now it is again. If a jungler is moderately better than his counterpart, he solo wins the game, even if his 3 laners are losing. Especially if I pick an early game champion, the jungler will gank me basically every minute, while keeping plenty of CS and also pressure in other lanes. Meanwhile almost all junglers can duel all but toplane fighters at all stages of the game. I seriously think junglers decide 60 % how the game goes, with around 10 % for top, mid, ADC and supp (give or take a few %)

Please make junglers weaker in terms of XP and gold; they should have a hard time dueling, instead they should rely on numbers advantage.

Please make the junglers farm more. In S6 and S7, a lot was done to prevent power farming - removal of Stated, longer jgl spawn times and so on. Dial back on that a bit.

And finally, can we get access to more vision? Midlaners can ward 1 side with pink, and them mostly the other side. If the jungler goes around and comes from behind, you simply cant see him before its too late. Playing extremely safe is only an option on scaling champs

There was another post on this. The potential to roam, the freedom of lane presence and the general gist of junglers being 'sudden attack' means they're deliberately in a better position to pull game-changing plays. Bot can't exactly wander up to top lane willy-nilly.

Jungle is meant to have that kind of a role. All the same, a strong lane isn't going to magically disappear under one jungler unless everyone gets caught with their pants down.
