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.

Why do you even bother. It's Riot Games, without a doubt the worst gaming company that exists in the west. They have no idea what they are doing and they are slowly lowering the quality of their game patch by patch. If it wasn't for the fact that they have seemingly found the formula to milk r%%%%%s of their money then the game would've died by now.

Right now the best thing that can happen for League of Legends is if it's bought up by another company and not a single person that has ever worked on it before is allowed to work on it again. Those idiots need to gtfo.

It's a sad reality when this forum would cheer for a potential mass shooting at Riot HQ because it mean the game would see massive improvements.

They want games to end faster xD just make a carbon copy of those mobile mobas that only last about 7 mins on average then lol.

Can confirm that. Game feels like PvE now. Kill that Drake it gives strong buff but ez to kill, oh an kill that Herald too. Now kill next Drake! It's already there. And look! Next Herald is there too! Kill it! Don't care about team vs team. Just kill next Drake! And then Baron and then Elder. Maybe call the Game "Monster Hunter Runeterra".

Drake's need more HP again like before the patch. So that not everyone and his mom can solo kill Drake's at lvl 4.
