Also, I just bought Janna. Was fun when I tried her but I tended to fail since she's not quite the other supports. Any good stream to watch? I tried some support players' streams but it was things like Nyph playing Karth so... ^^' | ||

It also shows that hey, the people at Riot actually have some idea what their doing and thinks pretty carefully about changes to their game. If anything, it shows the opposite. They think there's a problem because somehow someone got it repeated enough that they've accepted it as fact, but when you compare what they say is going to happen vs what will actually happen there's a complete disconnect. Again, remember the Kayle "buff?" Lets not even mention all the horribly overpowered champions they've released as if they hadn't spent an hour testing. Fact of the matter is that Riot has a very poor track record when it comes to dealing with game balance internally. Most of their staff is very low rated and the game balance suffers greatly because of it. Invariably, either out of incompetence or negligence, things have to go live before they will accept just how imbalanced or broken something is. Even when it comes out balanced, they knee-jerk over-buff or over-nerf it most of the time. Why should jungle 0.2 be any different, especially when even the testers are saying how bad it is? | ||

Common junglers: Amumu, Fiddle, GP, Jarvan, Lee Sin, Malphite, Master Yi, Maokai, Nocturne, Nunu, Olaf, Rammus, Riven, Shaco, Shyvana, Skarner, Trundle, Tryndamere, Udyr, Warwick, Xin Zhao Uncommon, but used even in tournaments: Alistar, Blitz, Cho Plus several others who can jungle well since mastery changes like Panth, Rumble, Twitch, Nasus, etc.. Even just counting the common junglers, that's 21. 24% of all champions are common jungler picks. Considering there are 5 roles and that's counting only common junglers, there are tons of junglers right now. If you want to address weaknesses of particular ones then you buff the champ, not rape the jungle. | ||

Surely we must rework those roles too. | ||

There is also the issue that laning and jungling requires vastly different builds/stats. Thats why when people tried taking traditional junglers and their into lane it´s murderous sustain - warwick, udyr, wriggles are the most prominent examples. Pots as well, plenty junglebuilds NEED cloth+5pot. That's not an argument for anything, lol. Jungler vs non-jungler is usually identical builds except for wriggles. Laners might get a few dblades, but that's about it. Starting items are pretty irrelevant, too. Some lanes need cloth 5 pot. Some lanes need boots 3 pot. Some junglers go boots 3 pots or vampiric sceptor. The vast majority of solos start boots 3 pots, the vast majority of AD start dblades (and those who don't are usually cloth 5 or boots 3, notice a pattern?) and the vast majority of supports start faerie charm, 3 wards, 2 pots. This is not an issue. You will never, nor should you ever, have completely unique builds (especially at the start of the game) for every champion in every situation. There's already a high degree of tailoring your opening based on what you're laning against. | ||

Pots as well, plenty junglebuilds NEED cloth+5pot. Why is this a problem? If I took my 30 armor runepage for a top laner into mid lane, it would be drastically less useful. Go figure. And as others have stated, 24% of the champ pool being common junglers is way better than how much of the pool can be reasonably be played in any other role. | ||

The problem with different laning and jungling requirements is the collision when you take one to the other. Wriggles is intended as jungling item but plenty laners use it for infinite sustain. And in turn without in depht research your first try to jungle will most likely result in you dying to creeps - that is quite a bit different than a suboptimal runepage when laning. The comparison is sololane, jungler and duo lane. Sustain supports have had numerous nerfs to make having nonhealers in the botlane valid.

But we already see experiments with non-standart supports bot already, partly with picking up heal summoner. Maybe the pot nerf will make healers better - but it might also make offensive support better because damage "sticks" better. | ||
