Yeah, but it makes some heroes imba. The game is designed with foresting in mind. If you can't farm safely out of sight and are forced into the lane, then bara can see you, techies can mine you, and push heroes can early rax carry teams even easier.


Yeah, it is quite imbalance, because people rarely pick LC anymore after this patch

For LC
1) Can't safe-farm in jungle
2) No easy lone-target because people stick

For techies
1) People stick and actually buy sentry and ward, and they pushes like crazy
2) No point putting bombs in jungle too, because enemy team always group up and push, and jungle doesn't give gold lol

I'm actually quite enjoying the game without jungle creeps, for exactly that reason. No LC pickers!

Without jungle the game becomes super predictable to play and leaves little room for comeback scenarios.

Can you explain that a little more? I clicked the link, it wasn't mentioned. Are they going to fix this?

I actually haven't played since the patch after 1 game. Just ... can't stand it. :(

Thinking of moving on to Dota 2.

Exactly. This is why i said new metta.

Actually, in dota2 jungle is nerfed in two ways.

1) spawns every 2 minutes
2) centaur and ursa creeps have 20% STACKING magic resistance aura. So if you stack a bunch of camps, you can't kill them all really fast with heroes like sf, lina, geo.

This isn't as severe as no jungle at all, but it is still a step in the same direction.

I think this is an interesting change in strategy to a game where everything has been the same for years. I know it's temporary, it will only last for a few more days, until things are fixed. But still, its a fun change. IF you choose to see it that way.
Vipassana: to see things as they really are. This meditation was rediscovered by Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills. This technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation

Nope, neutrals in dota2 spawn every minute again and there are even more neutral camps now, but they reduced the gold bounty and xp gain per camp.
It is still seen as a nerf which made most people stop picking junglers.

Would also like to add that Zeus is bugged to hell. Cooldowns are messed up. Add that to the bug list if it's not already
