From what I've read, the more popular lanes (mid and top) got hi
They didn't really get hit, the meta just changed. It basically went back to being AP burst mid lane instead of assassins. Top got a buff IMO. The new masteries make bruisers insanely strong. That's why Mundo, Shyv, Olaf, Renekton, etc. are all insanely strong right now. Top is in a great spot along with tanky junglers.

Weren't people complaining about jungling being MUCH less effective now?

I only ever play bot lane, so with all the talk, I kinda felt like bot lane was brought up a level more so than the other lanes/jungle were brought down.

Support is in a much better place along with vision.

I'm not the only person on my team that needs to ward, thank jesus.

1 Pink at Drag, 1 Ward at Tribrush, 1 for Lane brush and 1 to frick around with.

For later game, you just need wards at OBJs: Their Red/Blue Buffs, Baron, and Dragon


I agree, supports got nothing but help in S4.

I main Supp/ADC (mostly support these last few weeks), and it's a world of difference down there now.

Early game leveling is WAY slower now. It sucks. Super early ganks are gone. Going from blue straight to red and getting level 3 is gone. That was the jungle's true power in season 3 and it's gone. But you don't fall super far behind if you get a buff stolen. That's basically what they did. They made it weaker early so if you lose a camp, you aren't punished so hard that you're screwed for the rest of the game. It's more forgiving to junglers that fall behind, but it also screwed over the early game power.

Yes jungling is still much less effective, however it's still better than 2 bottom and top. Especially if your jungler can get a good gank or two.

Tanky J4 jungle is money

It's different and I don't like it. I can't buy a billion wards and oracles and just own the map with vision now. Woe is me.

I'll take it a step further and explain why.

SoloQ doesn't need anymore people with the mindset "ubar 1337 DPS" and the support change has facilitated that for supports bot lane.

You could win more games than you lost by being a self-less team player and buying the shite out of wards and leading your team around by the nose. It's a great change when you play with people you know but I dislike it for soloQ.

I don't think of scaling utility abilities as "moar deeps" but as a way for supports to have an impact on the game.

Yeah, no one enjoyed being a ward dispenser. You might have enjoyed the wins it brought you, but I'm glad Riot noticed that isn't fun for any player. Hence, no one wanting to play support.

AD Quints vs Life Steal Quints

I've always used LS Quints. Should I switch?

I haven't been on much in the past month. I'm still getting used to some of the changes. I still don't understand the point of the extra jungle camp. It doesn't really add anything.

I'm not too familiar with jungling pre or post S4, but I believe they reduced exp gained with the standard camps. I also wanna say it scales the later the game goes.

By reducing the exp gained and adding an additional camp, I'd imagine that changes things drastically

I'll prolly be on for a couple of hours tonight. I've been trying to play Vlad, but I don't really know how strong he is in the current meta. I never see him getting any play at my level.
