As everybody is well aware, Season 3 of League of Legends is approaching. Riot employees have officially announced many changes they are making to the jungle. They stated that with the way the game was at the time, they did not like how the jungling role was restricted to tank/support characters. Another aspect they felt was to toxic was how aggressive and how much influence the jungler had early game. Because of how easily junglers could clear the camps, they could wait by a lane for an opportunity, give their teammates a kill, and then snowball that lane which almost always resulted in victory. Approaching this, Riot has decided to do multiple things about the jungle. First of all they are changing the way leashes work, and by that, they are removing them entirely. Jungle monsters no longer attack the first person to aggro them, they will attack the nearest person to them. On top of increasing the stats of the jungle monsters, this is going to make the jungle a much scarier place. We won't see boots and potions on every jungler anymore, almost every jungler is going to have to start with a different item set in order to survive in the jungle. This is going to slow down the early game and force it more towards the laners ability. The biggest thing that struck me, was the fact that the gold and experience rewards are going up for the camps. Does this mean we will see champions like Tryndamere, Gangplank, and Master Yi show their faces in the scene again? Allowing characters to integrate back into the game would be a fantastic change for Season 3, as of right now, I'm sure everybody is getting tired of the same old meta. A lot of complaining has been going around the forums about people claiming that the suspected changes will make the game far to passive. Have faith everyone, Riot will definitely set things through, as long as they keep Morello away from the buffs and nerfs.
