Is Season 9 going to see the removal of the plants?

Never been a fan of the plants they added to the jungle that give people basically free escapes or vision. I hear a lot of other people don't really like them either.

Anyone can use the plants, but not everyone could contest scuttle.

I think scuttle should go first if anything, it was terrible at launch (Just pick Graves and auto-win) and still disables a lot of bad duelists from playing jungle.

Plants are fine because both teams are allowed to make good use of them.

I think the plants are fine, it´s just hard for me to make use of the blast plant lol, I keep on missing the plant for some reason and instead my champ moves to the spot I clicked instead of auto attacking the blast plant.

I do kinda wish Riot made it an optional setting to have timers on the mini map for the plants, they can be contested more and I find it kinda frustrating to run the entire length of the river from top or bot lane to mid only to find that there are none of the healing plants and I have to recall.

I like those plants. Let them stay. You can have extra sustain, free 5 second wide range control ward and an escape plus ganking path. They don't spawn every 2 minutes so they are balanced enough. There is no way nobody and i mean NOBODY ever used them. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I dont think plants are needed at all really. If anything keep the vision plant, due to the previous raptor buff. But i think they cause cheese jumps over the wall, sustain for junglers or even laners and sometimes can ruin a fight when picking up the healers.

Plants was a garbage gimmick that should have never been greenlit in the first place. The developer who designed and implemented the system was a hard stuck silver jungler who was so fed up with his own skill, he decided to make an RNG based plant system that could potentially boost his skills to the next level!

I feel like plants were one of those "doomsday end of the world League is finished" things that never actually panned out.

They came, got some tweaks to put them in line, and are generally not too offensive.

If anything, the Rift Scuttler's caused more problems for the game than the plants ever did.

Probably Not

Came in expecting calls for Zyra nerfs.

Was horribly disappointed.

I love the plants :( they make the game more interesting. Yes, people can use them as escape or free vision or some health and mana, but you can use them too. Do you not enjoy using them yourself? The crab jg meta is what needs to go.
