The AP/AD ones don't look underwhelming to me. They may not be your first priority but they all look good. | ||

I get that like 2-3 junglers are way better at it than everyone else but that can be addressed at the hero level. In any case if ganking early is super risky in s4 I feel like jungle follow + 2v1s will be the undisputed best option for pro teams unless adc itemization gets hit pretty hard later in the preseason I don't think they hate early ganks, I think they dislike the idea of champions that hit their biggest power spike levels 1-5. The idea is that champs can all have different power curves but they should always have to earn it. How has Lee earned his huge level 3 power spike for early ganking? Every jungler should be similarly viable for the first 5 levels and only uptick after they have actually made some choices. I don't think early ganks will go away, I just think they will depend more on outplaying your opponent than outpicking him. | ||

Emergent gameplay is wonderful but extremely hard to get right when you have so many variables to deal with. | ||

Once things start rolling, there's no turning back from Riot-Approved-Meta style balancing unless you completely reinvent everything Because almost by definition, strong emergent gameplay will be "toxic" because it is abusive corner cases that you didn't account for in development. If you are writing a web app that is a runtime sandbox for some scripting language, the only functional bugs that come out are infrastructure (platform doesn't work, security holes let users execute malicious code on your webserver, etc) issues because what you are developing is a foundation for the user to do whatever they want. If you are developing a particular functional piece, then "emergent behavior" with that will almost certainly be a functional issue/bug/"not a bug it's a feature!" because if you are designing something to be used in a particular way, if you didn't put in enough checks to make sure it can only be used that way, any divergent uses will cause things to break catastrophically | ||

see:Skarner going live, appearing to be very strong and nerfing him literally 2 weeks later what is the harm in letting it rock a bit when you have monthly patching | ||

The whole reason you pick lee is for early game control and sacrificing late game power. What you're saying is that all junglers should be weak early game and strong late game? Sounds fun ./sarcasm | ||

No combat benefit and 50% bonus gold off one monster in an enemy camp is sort of meh, especially when you consider the enemy could have a combat smite that makes them destroy you in engagements. Encouraging counterjungling when you aren't the stronger one, when counterjunging is generally done if you're stronger... Yeah, it just makes no sense. The point is to ward their jungle and counterjungle while they can't even get there to fight you. | ||
