And the problem of the S2 jungle wasn't lack of champion diversity, it was that Oracles was so strong (and drained jungler gold), jungle gold and exp were too low, and tanking lane minions made a successful (or sometimes even unsuccessful) top/bottom lane gank snowball really hard. Thus, the strategic diversity was low. I actually miss the S2 times, being full build support once you had Shurelia,boots 2 and a plethora of wards. The small war vision was everybit as intense as a full blown teamfight and just ad important; having a Rito blessed maphack active for your team was the easiest way to carry. Also the whole feel of having to work with so little, is much more fun for me, compared to games I can randomly pick up Deathcap on Janna. I'd love to see Riot taking a new approach to the jungle, whereby basically all camps feats a miniboss which yields a short duration ala Nunu's consume (30s max) buff you can then either chose to make a play or farm more efficient. I think It'd open up for some new junlger routes and thus but more stress in the vision war and securing said mini-buffs. | ||

Rito talking about making a jungle item that allows smite to be used on Champions with a utility effect (Ie stun/slow/damage). Neat. Will be a pain in the ass to figure out what jungle items will be good though. | ||

That sounds incredibly toxic, like Hunter's Machete levels of terrible game design I still don't understand why if the goal is to change up income streams (mids to stop taking wraiths, supports to get gold), you can't just change the incentives behind the current income distribution rather than adding these random walls to what you can or cannot do to the game | ||

Having real itemization would fix literally every problem (gold accumulation, lack of comeback mechanics/snowballing, build diversity). And they could get there through the same experimental bullshit that has the game change 9 months out of the year to prepare for one single elim tournament of "international competition" by just thinking about what makes something like Shurelya's or Locket so good that Top/Junglers buy it instead of nerfing everything and then wondering why supports don't have fun items to buy and just buy wards. | ||

Nothing dents the faith I have in Riot's ability to keep the game interesting and competitive long-term more than their handling of the support rework. It blows my mind that they passed up that chance, it seemed like the game was in a perfect place to introduce that kind of itemization at the time. I'd love to know what their thought process was as a whole that led to that decision, because I really, really don't get it. | ||
