Jungle role is feast or famine right now. The changes put out at preseason were not well thought out

You get flamed more for being lvls behind. The jungler that wins is the one that was ALREADY ahead. Then if things are looking south you get told to go "farm" yet if you try too even with the faster spawns, someone on YOUR team is either in need of a gank or just feeding like any other league match but wait if i do show up to the pings i am in no shape or form to fight because once again... IM BEHIND ! The role also feels less independent, rather more DEPENDENT on not having a feeding team.

If you wanted to nerf the role you could of done it in much more healthy way by just tweaking exp gained from minions and assists so when a jungler does a successful gank its not as rewarding and more punishing if the jungler tries to tax exp, then maybe lower the HP as well as the HP scaling of all the monster camps to give junglers an incentive to stay in the jungle and farm more often since it would be less time consuming then nerf the jungle items item 1041 item 1039 make them less effective separately then more as a whole or decide to nerf the power altogether to still have leverage to give junglers more exp per camp.

Feast or famine?

I thought jungle was more along the lines of, hit level 3 then starve to death.

I dont like the helpless feeling you get when solo laners are so much farther ahead than you are. I mean, there are games I legit cannot help anyone but botlane. Like, if enemy toplane is morde, I cannot go up there and help that guy at all. I will walk into lane possibly lvl 4 to lvl 6 and just INT. Same goes for mid-matchups and for all losing lanes. I had a game where me and the enemy jungler were both level 8; enemy vlad was lvl 12. I cant even go near that guy. So you just have to watch helplessly as he continues to donkey stomp your laners.

If a solo laner picks the right champions, they are probably ungankable the entire game unless they just lose lane to your teammate. They can legit lane kingdom, 100% free and clear, because you are so underleveled, its trolling if you show up in lane.

Its honestly the same process: hit lvl 3, gank and if it works good, keep doing it or you lose, and if it fails then congrats the enemy jg wins now.

jg should be the strongest role. 3 lanes, rift, drags, and jg are all things they need to watch for. no other lane is expected to do this. no other lane has this responsibility. i know its the jobs of lanes to make it easier for the jg but thats why it should be the strongest role. It should not be that jg is a late game sup. like wth are they doing. its a carry role, everything jg does changes the tide of the game. every gank is to help, every buff is to help. it has the most pressure in the game. let jg be strong, they cant be in 2 places at once so if ur getting ganked consistently and ur not planning for it, then yes better jg should win. if bot is falling apart cause jg ganked then yes better jg should win. its strategic plays. jg can not be everywhere so if hes pressuring bot then whats the other jg doing?? hopefully something important. if not then yea that jg looses and the team will have a hard time catching up. theirs a difference between luck, and the enemy team playing better.

as i stated in my post, it's Dragons an jungle EXP that are the main issues. Riot has forced a toxic meta of super clear junglers that MUST gank frequently. Dragons are to vital a role now an control the whole game. even over baron which you do not have to worry about until 20 mins. with so much attention drawn to bottom of the map, your bot lane must win, or else you are doomed to fall behind even if you are a well fed jungler. theres just to much pressure on the role now with no reward really. you are going to piss off someone almost every game, because you are expected to control almost every outcome of lanes, but the meta of the game forces you to only focus on bot lane.

Jungle is basically like toplane, just with a slight difference...

One sided game impact, LOL
