Pre-Season Thought: Epic Monster nerfs have made too many junglers uncompetitive
The rise of high AD/auto junglers like Udyr have pushed most other options off the table, which is disappointing as someone who enjoyed playing niche junglers. How can someone like Rammus or Poppy compete for these new low-HP Dragons, which can now be effectively solo'd by champions like Udyr at lvl 3/4 in 20-30 seconds?
In my games (Gold 4), junglers are sort of competing in this side game of chasing each other to objectives with minimal time spent helping lanes. This has greatly changed the dynamic not only in changing the focus of junglers, but as I said earlier, vastly limiting the pool of viable junglers if you want to compete for these objectives.
Anyway just providing some feedback, I think this needs some adjustment. As a side note, I also hate the idea of multiple Rifts. I think the balance of the game has become way too Epic Monster focused and less about outplaying in positioning/fights. Maybe higher ranks where your team actually helps with vision and with objectives it's different, but Gold and down it's not very fun.
