Honestly Riot needs to stop sucking botlanes pee pee and take a look at other roles and positions, after just releasing a marksman support they announced a new marksman champion [https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DblYOhr20/] ... As a jungle main its has been extremely frustrating seeing all of these really new cool concepts and champions being wasted on bot lane, I say this because the jungle has become boring! Say what you will but the most recent jungler that was released was on the 12th of July 2017 which was Kayn which was such an exciting thing at the time that he became my main from that point on! For 2 years and 4 months riot has completely neglected jungler players and has have poured their efforts into other roles and positions and I'm honestly tired of it, the jungler champion pool is bland and not as fun compared to other roles, say what you will but after no new champions being made for the jungle for 2 years and 4 months and riot now announcing a new marksman adc...... Am I the only one that is frustrated by this?!?

LMFAO Marksman don't really get any love. They get nerfed every season for doing their job. You got kayn, ivern, if we include reworks since they're basically entire new champs, Nunu, warwick, Evelynn. off roles, Taliyah, sylas.. Off meta in general. Theres alot to do in jungle. There's a rotation for how champions are released unless they find really good ideas that only belong in 1 lane. Jungle has the MOST REWORKS in the game, it has the most refreshed champion pool. The marksmen pool is very boring, its very limited due to meta, its extremely bland. This is shown when we see the same 3 adcs every other game over and over. If you dont like that hes a bot lane roled champ, just play him jungle, its not that hard.

They were working on these ahead of time tho like lol. We'll probably get a juggernaut 2 weeks after, I'm pretty sure they work on them concomitantly and the marksman team pulled ahead or something, calm down lol. Also, Senna is still a support at the end of the day so.

Also, you're assuming that he's an ADC just because he's a marksman. Not all marksman are ADCs and not all ADCs are marksman.

Example, Kindred, who is a jungler, is a marksman. Aphelios could be a jungle marksman too. I doubt it, but hey, we only got his lore and literally nothing else. We don't know what role he was designed for or what his skills are, so just chill. FFS.

Neeko can likely be a viable jungler, as can Qiyana and Kai'Sa. You're also getting a (likely Yordle) jungler next year, along with other champions who can probably be played jungle, like the Ionian juggernaut.

And as Ashe mage AD pointed out, there are multiple champion teams working on multiple different champions at the same time.

We're literally getting Fiddle and Voli's reworks soon, both junglers and right after them we're getting ANOTHER new whimsical jungler. Maybe read roadmaps before posting.
