Spirit Stone is a nice buff for AoE junglers.

I think when it goes live I'm going to do at least a once-over with all the potential junglers to see where their viability sits right now. I have a feeling there are a lot of gems that people are overlooking in their rush to get those Vi-Panth-Kha picks in.
Hell, even just starting from the top, I really can't believe no one's trying Aatrox. If I ever had one complaint about him in the jungle it's that he should've been a carry jungler and not a tank. Give me a Lulu mid and I bet I can get some height out of those tattered wings.

That would be pretty sweet
I feel bad, but whenever I play ranked I always say anything but jungle. I don't care where I go, just don't stick me with ZzZzzZzzZzzjungle.

You have to think of jungling as being like Kira vs. L in Death Note.
It's all about Yomi Layers, all about predicting positions based on limited information, trying to get into the head of the enemy jungler and then one step out in front. It's a battle of wits. And sometimes a battle of wills against your laners who fuck up your intricately planned game of cat-and-mouse by YOLO diving in lane or getting caught out trying to drop a deep jungle ward.
So, yes, completely tedious.

I think I did pretty ok for the little I've jungled. I must've played jungle like less than ten times in my life.
I mean you know from the get go you're going down if you have a premade botlane and a leblanc that picks into morgana.
I just find it hard to concentrate, I don't really think while jungling, just go wherever based on whatever.
tbh I should've played elise rather than jarvan, or at least build full damage like I do when I play him mid.
at least that would've been fun form e

Jarvan is ok, but if you had Elise or one of the other top tier junglers on the table, should've picked them instead of J4.
I'm more of the "follow what everyone else is doing" type of person, and it usually helps. Definitely in the jungle it works for me.
yea I didn't know I was jungle because people didn't say anything and had annie picked and all and then support duo locked leona because apparently neither of them could jungle so I just grabbed what first went through my mind
ofc the last pick goes sivir into jinx-lulu and then whines because she can't cs because there's too much poke
I guess this is the famed jungler feeling of "ALL MY LANES ARE FEEDING"
at least I ceremoniously gave my midlaner all blue buffs for her to throw them away like god meant it

It's fine to follow the crowd if you're mostly just interested in concentrating on in-game play/counter-play. I mean, I obviously like the strategic layer of the game a lot, so I put a lot of time into team compositions, counter-picking, and general theorycrafting, but I know a lot of people I play with really just want a champion that will be generally good they can take into lane and fight with. Nothing wrong with that.
The popular picks are usually pretty good if you want something that's almost guaranteed to work. It might not be the best, but it should at least get you to the part of the game you want to play without having to worry too much about the part you don't.
(If you want to play jungle as a non-strategic role you should probably focus on picking hard-farming junglers, though. Grab someone who can just mow through camps 24/7 rather than a ganking jungler like Jarvan.)

Shurelyia is pretty crucial to support annie imo.
Definitely like the Dorans Shield nerf, although I get it on every champion besides Jax, even though I get it on him time to time depending on the matchup. I also usually go double Dorans Blade for some survivability on Jax because I usually double dip on BotRK and TF(I usually get Sheen first on TF)

Game needs more asshole champions or kits centered around lame. Disheartening to see Teemo get a significant nerf.
"These [Spirit Stone changes] are just some general tweaks to promote a wider variety of junglers."
All the while conveniently ignoring that Wriggles has been left untouched ever since the pre-season, whereas the Spirit Stone tree was fine (excluding the AP upgrade) from the get-go even with some flaws Riot decided to address by now.
You're using the weird xcloser-style sentence structure (period on the first sentence, but not on the second, capital letter on the second sentence, but not the first), so I'm not sure if you are partially joking.
If you are serious in your jungle posts though, I would respectfully suggest that you are expressing a very weird attitude, especially for ranked promos games. Yes, playing certain roles takes concentration, but if you do not want to concentrate, why are you playing ranked (or ranked promos) to begin with? Where you go as jungler, what you do as jungler, who you play for a jungler, and when you do it are all involved questions that entail practice, a lot of knowledge, and reactions to the current situation.
You seem to be fine with reacting to a situation, but the odd "eh whatever" and "too boring" kind of attitude you are expressing seems strange for a competitive mode. There are probably good junglers in the thread who would be willing to give some advice if you are interested in the complexities, but it probably will require concentration.
Wriggle's balance is tied to the upgrade Riot still intends to release...at some point, I guess.

where are the fizz buffs
ppl are just blindly banning him at this point anyway. they need to get the point
support... gp?
u guys just need to get in on the jungle evelynn action. its so fun
im pretty sure the extra big changes are waiting for the end of spring split (runes, items)
no amount of corki buffs is gonna make up for how shitty his Q feels now
theyre just normalising terrify effects :/
it now acts similiar to hecarim terror - you can run in front of them to fear them into your team if youre so inclined.
Yeah, that's an odd one. At least fiddle was somewhat compensated with the drain range increase.

I gotta buy Heimer before the short Team Builder beta hits live. I want to practice mid, but I dont want to go through the stress of claiming mid in champ select only to not get it and have to play something else.

Do we even need Wriggles to be good?
The carry-ish junglers are already using Elder Lizard, for whom is this item meant for? Yi? Tryndamere?

She actually ate a whole round of nerfs shortly after release, mostly because people were playing her as a mid laner for a while there.

I didn't get this nerf either. made no sense to me.. since he's not even one of the junglers that being spam.. aka VI, Wu, Pantheon, and of course Elise.
Has J4 even been played in either LCS this season? He like just died with S4... =(
because I've played like 400 ranked games since s2 and haven't jungled once yo, so wtf do I care if I tank one game every so many if it's not my goal to play this shitty roleYou're using the weird xcloser-style sentence structure (period on the first sentence, but not on the second, capital letter on the second sentence, but not the first), so I'm not sure if you are partially joking.

like if I'm forced to do it well I'd love to win my promos but whatever if you want a good jungler maybe don't instalock since I went out of my way to say "hey dudettes, preferably mid or support".
like tbh the sivir did worse than I did and she got her role so #werth am i rite
edit: if I don't get mid it's ok I'll fill every role even jungle and if I lose (unless it's promos where winning and losing is worth the same) I don't really give a shit since hey I'm stuck with this and I'll just maybe win the next time I get my role. won't really feed or anything and I'll do my best but won't really care either as there's only so much tryharding you can do with shit you don't know how to do properly. specially jungle since I don't like it
In other ways, fuck Fizz.

fizz is fun to play tho
yeah like my friend just played against a kassadin (for some reason at his elo susan is banned 100% of the times even if it means kass goes through) and the dude ended up 1 9 1.
like if you let him through half the times I reckon you might get a shitty ass adc that says OH EM GEE HES OPEN and will do terribly with him
it's just that when you read gg in champion select you know your team's going down
Duo queue is like 30% harder than solo q, imo.
Statistically speaking, you're right.
But going into a game with the mindset that you can trust your friend to not be make awful decisions to throw games is a godsend. You can always be outplayed, but as long as you play smart, that's just one less thing to have to worry about when compared to the randomness of solo q.
