The meta alternates with “strong jungle” and “weak jungle”, where essentially jungler are either getting as much gold and experience as solo laners or supports.

Right now we are in a weak jungle meta.

As a diamond jungle main, here is how I feel about it. I feel like it makes the game very one sided and boring.

What happens in solo queue is solo laners who wins their lane (mid and top) are quickly 2 or 3 levels and 1 item above the jungler (unless jungler snowballs). The jungler lose prio on objectives and can’t do anything about it. The laner losing his lane can’t do much either.

What happens is, mid or top, or both, snowball in their 1v1 lanes with jungle kinda irrelevant, and with their prio they get all objectives, junglers struggle to shutdown or contest.

The team with losing solo laners just ff and go next. Games are boring. Players are frustrated.

In strong jungle meta, games are dynamic. If a solo laner snowball, jungler can attempt to shut them down and comeback. Jungler can contest objectives. There’s more teamfights. less ff. People have epic comeback games, epic teamfights. Games are great. Players have a good time.

My 2 cent. Personal opinion.

    There has been no “weak jungle” since season 1 or 2.

    There has only been very strong jungle and extremely strong jungle

    Right now we are in a very strong jungle meta
