But But But Phreak plays her as a jungler. Now what? Have i been lied to this whole time

How will Amumu be? It seems he would suffer a lot, not having sustain and being mainly focused on aoe dmg.

shouldnt u make also a new item for junglers like maokai, amumu , skarner , etc since u decided to make them weak as junglers in the new season? coz with this new jungle u will just make them a poor decision as junglers, and then the role as jungle will be for single target champs and then junglers like mao,amumu, etc will stay in the shadows as the single target did before

shouldnt u balance both to make them viable for jungle and not only make single target dominate jungle , just make viable both single target and aoe champs

So does this mean that leashing is going to be impossible now?

wtf, now you want to reduce the junglers ganking power?

Wasn't that the reason Clairvoyance was nerfed in first place?

Or make huge part of even more early dragon pressure due the mid laner can now, contribute with the jungler who already have a wriggles to stack damage, and make something like a 2 man, lvl 5 dragon or something like that.
We tried to ensure that jungle items were non-optimal to laners. This doesn't mean that there's no possibility that someone may buy the AP Spirit Stone mid lane to help farm wraiths or do fast Dragons and Barons. We're open to the possibilities and will address problems only if they are actual problems.

We're monitoring him very closely.
Jax is actually already OP in the top lane.
All that is holding him back are Shen, Singed and Malphite. 3 hard counters to him that are currently also some of the best top laners
But with weaker defensive items, some of them will get weaker. Jax doesn't need these defensive stats. And his trades early are strong enough.
=> Jax will get stronger top and in the jungle

I don't actually understand why Jax still has the 25% AOE dmg reduction on his E. It was give to him when his R didn't give defensive stats, cause he was too squishy. Then The HP and R got changed that he got pretty strong again (best 5 top laners). So why was this not removed?

I really don't like this. To be completely honest. Feel like I'm just not going to jungle as much as I did before. Granted, wasn't much. However, it just seems a bit more stressful of a job now.
