Im not saying that they should balance jungle around lanes. What I am saying is that the jungle has been a constant for so long that lane power and dominance has been mitigated by jungle presence. You cant tell me that a balance change is made in a vacuum- there are many factors that are considered, and how champions interact with ganks is one of them. There is a reason that ungankable champions tend to get nerfed. Just like there is a reason red buff has been nerfed. The game has been balanced for years around a jungle that has been, for the most part, stable. These changes just threw a giant wrench into that. And with a shift toward fewer ganks with less power behind them (lower exp and gold) I think is is a very real possibility that quite a few champions are going to have to be adjusted going forward to compensate for a lack of gank risk. | ||

It's not like breaking the mold is some magical concept nobody has ever tried in LoL. 1 1 2 is the best set up, both to play as/against and to watch. | ||

However those games tend not to be as clean, and end up just being a 1 way stomp because one team gets fed and the other just doesnt. I think the reason such games are stomps is because people haven't quite figured lane swapping out. But I think thats changing as people learn things, like who can 1v2 and who can't. The games only aren't "clean" cause people are still learning that stuff. | ||

Remove buff camps Nerf the shit out of wards Only two ways imo. The existence of buff camps means the team without jungler is playing with no buffs until lanes break down. Buff camps are too far from lane and too durable for laners to just leave it and jack it a la DotA style runes. The cheap cost and spammability of wards means pure roamers and the roaming meta is easily countered by people with good map awareness and constant ward spam/wriggles. But you still want some roaming ganking force to relieve and put pressure on lanes, which means you need a jungler who can roam/farm jungle simultaneously. The way LoL is set up, jungling is not and will never be optional. They can fuck the jungle as much as they want but as long as those two things exist (cheap wards+durable buff camps) junglers will exist no matter how fucked and shitty their farm/exp will be. | ||

Since I don't think they're that careless, the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that they're just not telling us the whole story. I mean, how can they not realize that changing the jungle is going to affect the whole balance of the game? | ||

Towers also will ignore wards now and target champions. Friends and I tried to do that like three months or so ago and it ended with all of us just having to back away before tower killed us. What Craton said about 1-1-2 lane with jungle being optimal is the truth. You get optimal dragon control, you run champs that are beefy and/or harder to gank up top while also running an AP carry mid who can gank well due to high burst in mid game. The only time people switch it up is when you end up having a bad match up in a certain lane or you don't want a specific champion to get fed. | ||

I shot it at least 6 times, and i still had it after the inhib went down. Inhib isn't like tower - on next hit effects don't work on them. That's not a bug. | ||
