In Season 3, inSec showed the world the power of Zed as a monster carry jungler and Meteos dominated his North America with a farm-first approach on champions like Nasus and Zac.
Season 2 and much of Season 3 belonged to Diamondprox, though. In early , his Xin Zhao tore apart Azubu Frost and Blaze in three of the four straight victories Gambit scored against the elite level South Korean powerhouses. The master Jungler would speak in what seemed almost quasi-religious pronouncements, telling the world that to be considered a great jungler one must have mastered Lee Sin or announcing that inSec had shown himself as the one player worthy to be considered his rival.
Diamondprox was the king of the jungle and the aura of the right to rule permeated his demeanour and decrees. In interviews, Junglers would frequently deflect questions contrasting them directly, on the basis of skill or style. Typically, the best Junglers would either fall back on accomplishments, citing those with the most titles as the defacto top at the position, or bring out the famed explanation that a Jungler can only be as good as the strength of his and team and thus a good Jungler on a bad team would look bad, while an inferior Jungler on a stronger team might look good.
Then, with the rise of the carry Junglers and the Korean Jungle gods arriving, Diamondprox felt no intimidation in going up against such players on their best kits. Instead, Diamondprox immediately turned onto inSec and began fighting. The changing of stances neared perfection as Diamond went began in bear, to deliver the stun; switched to turtle to life-steal and then went into phoenix to deliver damage. With inSec having moved on to the Top lane, DanDy was considered to be right at the top of the pecking order of Korean Junglers.
The group finished with Gambit and Ozone tied for the second spot, meaning they would have to play a tie-breaker to decide who would move on to the quarter-final. His team had run up a seemingly impossible win record over the regular portion of the split and the play-offs, with Meteos considered the star player and granted the MVP title.
Many, from a number of regions, had speculated that this style may run into problems on the international stage, with Korea and Europe favouring a low econ, high pressure style of Jungling instead.
In the semi-final, they would face Gambit Gaming and Diamondprox. While Diamondprox had been gracious in bestowing praise upon Meteos prior to Worlds, now the Russian would play the part of the stern school master.
Here's an image of Summoner's Rift from League's tutorial:. The "jungle" refers to the woodsy areas filling in the space in-between the three lanes. Serious teams especially ones playing in the game's ranked mode assign four people to specific lanes, with a fifth player filling in the role of jungler. This player spends the majority of the game inside the jungle killing a series of increasingly tough monsters that reside within, only stepping out to perform specific tactical maneuvers like assassinating an unsuspecting opponent by helping his in-lane teammates "gank" them League -speak for "ganging up" or helping out a teammate in need in other ways if they're feeling particularly nice.
The jungler's priority is twofold: to take advantage of ganking opportunities whenever they appear while simultaneously killing all the computer-controlled monsters as quickly and efficiently as possible. The monster-killing part of that equation is important because it gives junglers lots of gold, experience, and bonus power-ups that benefit the entire team. It's a relatively isolating position compared to League's other team roles, then. And since junglers don't rack up as many kills or highly visible plays against enemy champions, they can easily be left out of the spotlight despite helping the entirety of the team in many crucial ways.
This dynamic is all the more frustrating for dedicated junglers because, ironically, it's one of the toughest positions to play well. Fighting against powerful monsters on your own basically means that you can never fuck up, because nobody's going to be able to come and lend you a helping hand. The League community has had problems with jungling for a while now because of all these idiosyncrasies.
So what did Riot just do to the jungle? The 5. For detailed breakdowns of the 5. This makes it prohibitively expensive for junglers to swap between different items depending on which one will make them best-suited to take out a specific monster. The discussion of jungle changes starts shortly after the 8-minute mark, though you should watch the whole video if you're interested in learning more about how 5.
On top of that, the 5. It's worth mentioning that smite was already a controversial item before Riot nerfed it with the 5. Edited by suwaidfazal. League of Legends.
