That's why I play anivia I got the cosmic skin. The papercraft one is marginally better than the cosmic tho. The game keeps autofilling me to jungle though which sucks. If I wanted to play jungle I would queue as jungle.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
my decade of League has been a loop of me getting my rear end kicked by Xin Zhao and then every once in a while some designer going "I'm tired of how much Xin Zhao sucks and I'm buffing him"

haha yeah i'm kind of in the same boat with jungling, I try to fill whatever role we need and my observation is that Jungle seems to be more high roll / low roll than any other role when it comes to my performance. Either I dominate the game or i get destroyed.

It's tough cause with basically any other role you can kind of sit back and not rock the boat if you notice that your team is getting an advantage in other matchups, but with the Jungle if you aren't doing what your team mates think you should be they notice very quickly and go on tilt lol.

Im naff and playing like entirely Wild Rift now, but in general I treat Jungler like Support++. The job is to proactively decide which of the three lanes you need to glom onto, track the other junglers progress, and create vision. Only at lower tiers is it safe to Yolo dragon so you want to get into the habit of basically warding, helping, then begging for objective help.

And you really want to glom onto the lane and give them heads up. Like send the pings early so they hopefully get into position and do what they need to do. Also something I've seen wreck people is hanging out in the bush hoping an opportunity comes. 8 times out of 10 it won't and the 10th time the other jungler gets into position and murders you.

The best era for xin zhao was when they just released titanic hydra and the phantom hit passive on the jungle item turned his 3 hit knockup into a 2 hit, was a 2 item power spike where you'd have access to 2 auto resets and be able to hit someone 5 times nearly instantly if you were fast enough to auto-reset-auto-reset-auto, then they would be knocked up nearly instantly and then your Q would be almost reset from autos to knock them up again assuming they were not dead from getting hit in the face that much already.

There's a difference between a champ having a lot going on and being overtuned, as last patch's Udyr will show

Yep, xin is one of those binary statcheck champions where one of you will end up dying in a straight up fight when they get on top of you with little room for them to do anything fancy.

xin's w scaled oppressively with attack speed back then and i wouldnt be surprised if release xin could 1v1 every jungler in the game right now. and then when you get to teamfights his ult just loving deleted entire teams so yeah i think he'd still be a monster, even if his q and w didnt function 'correctly'

thats because you've bought in to the narrative that new champion releases are power creeping and making old champions irrelevant even though as was already mentioned udyr has recently been oppressively strong, and jarvan and hecarim have been viable if not top tier picks for basically the entire lifetime of the game.

Jungling is the most thankless role and requires a thick skin. A laner loses a 1v1? Jg diff. They do it another 3 times in a row? Omg this jg is trash. And as the jungler, your correct play from a macro perspective in this situation is to ignore their lane and focus your attention on the lane that doesn't contain morons (haha this doesn't exist), further tilting the feeder.

In the event you perform correctly and get a laner snowballing, the praise is heaped on them while you reconsider your existence sobbing in the corner.

Warwick

I Got Kids. I need this.
Probably Nunu. Consume makes sustain simple, you have solid AOE clear, it's fast and ganking is a button and a small hill of a learning curve. He's also really strong this patch after the changes.

Warwick has zero AOE clear and even after grabbing Tiamat has trouble keeping up in cs, which is fine because he's supposed to be ganking, but does make him less consistent.

If you can hit skillshots, Amumu, he's got a huge AoE root ultimate and you can just roll in with your W toggled on and mash E.

If you can't hit skillshots, Udyr. He has four forms that do different things. Moves fast, Stuns, AoE clearing, and Defensive stance.

Rammus is great overall because most of what he does is just passive damage. He has a short taunt and can zoom around in ball form into a lane. He's still powerful in higher elo

Warwick is good for beginners because his kit is also pretty straight-forward. If you can lineup his ultimate it's a decent length suppression.
