http://i.imgur.com/uZOO7a3.png Jungling is a great example of emergent gameplay in League of Legends.

A quantitative look at the jungle monsters and how they stacked up. http://i.imgur.com/uZOO7a3.png Yes, they did. http://i.imgur.com/Q0d3A8L.png They did the math. http://i.imgur.com/uZOO7a3.png Yes. http://i.imgur.com/Q0d3A8L.png They did the monster math. http://i.imgur.com/uZOO7a3.png (nodding) The monster math. http://i.imgur.com/Q0d3A8L.png :) http://i.imgur.com/uZOO7a3.png … :\
