Dude.
Sejuani, Lissandra and Ashe can't all be on the same team.

I feel like they just send a mixed message about Junglers. Like they say this...
We continue to see Junglers taking over games. In particular, damage focused junglers frequently outlevel, outfarm, and outdamage their laning teammates without the level of risk that their counterparts are forced to endure.
...but then go and make Feral Flare, which encourages farming up for lategame damage with very little lane interaction. Not like this is news, but I don't even think Riot knows what they want with the role anymore.

They want junglers to be able to farm, be able to get invaded upon (or invade enemy jungle), AND be able to gank lanes. Kinda hard to do that with the current meta, along w/ how most junglers are structured these days in terms of kits. Like the only one that can do all 3 is Lee Sin, and that's because he's fucking LEE SIN.

Every time there's a strong jungler, it almost immediately gets nerfed.

one of the things i read that about korean teams that i thought was interesting (can't remember if it came from monte or lastshadow) is that they have coaches just for math and timings. like there is a guy whose job it is to make sure the players can quickly calculate/recall almost exactly what combination of skills and how many autos need to be landed at each champion level/skill order/itemization and enemy mr/armor to kill someone with a certain amount of hp or how long it will take a certain champion who just backed to return to lane or make it to baron with various movespeed itemizations/skill usages.
these are concrete things that can be analysed by anyone who puts in the work and they provide real advantages over opponents who are basing their all-ins and dragon attempts on intuition and feel learned from repetition and experience.
Source please this sounds a bit unrealistic.
I'd never take anything Lastshadow says as truth without another source.

Riot's approach to junglers is just dumb. They want non-support junglers to be a thing. People start picking high damage junglers that scale reasonably well. Now they say damage junglers are a problem. They want carry junglers to be a thing. People start picking carries and do what carries do best (afk farm). Oh no carry junglers are non-interactive. They accomplish their goal and realize its a bad idea.
The whole idea of carry jungler is super flawed. Either you give the jungle enough farm/damage to create a fourth carry, at which point jungling will by default become extremely un-interactive since, well, that's what carries do. Carries farm until they reach the point where they can begin to take over the game. Laning balances that out since it allows the other team to shut/slow them down. It's considerably harder to shut down a jungler who's determined to just farm while also keeping the laners in check. Even with the 4v0 strat, laning still exists to some extent. If the jungle doesn't have enough resources to create a fourth carry, carry junglers are not viable.

there was a video linked in one of these threads of a korean pro game where you got to hear the comms of both teams but with english subtitles. I can't find it. Anyone know where it might be?

i read it a fairly long time ago, really don't remember, if it was lastshadow it was in his ama on reddit.
i don't really see what is so far-fetched about it though, somehow i doubt kkoma is the only person in the skt organization doing analysis and research for both teams. creating a spreadsheet for skill and combo damage values at various itemization and level points for faker to study is something you could hire a reasonably intelligent high school kid with an interest in the game to do for like minimum wage and would give your team an information advantage over its opponents.
just because no one in the west takes the game seriously enough to make that kind of investment into preparing their players doesn't mean that teams in korea with real financial backing and coaching infrastructure don't. once you reach a certain level of mechanical skill isn't the whole game pretty much decision making based on the math of champion stats and time?
with correctly focused research, coaching, and practice i'm not sure there's any reason you can't give a mechanically gifted 15 year old kid a similar level of lane matchup or champion limitation knowledge that an elder statesmen like dyrus has been accruing naturally over years of experience. maybe this is exactly why you see new young and talented players popping up in ogn every season while the professional player pool in NA and Europe seems so stagnant.

That ama was basically a hilarious thread of him jacking his own cock and everyone feeding his ego.

minus the fact that junglers overall still having much larger impact in game throughout the game.
you might as well complain about riot hating midlane, cuz of the constant nerf bats throughout this season.

Leblanc has been a prime mid lane champion since before the season even started. So far Riot has decided that they might do something to her in 4.7.
The only reason Riot hasn't torn down the current state of the jungle is because of how large of a "No, we fucked up we're trying to fix it!" job it would be.
