Playing a bunch of Wild Rift since their new season started. They still have the issue where you regularly get assigned Jungle, even if it's your last preference. Gave up and decided to just learn Jungle. Turns out I love Shyvana and am pretty good with her. https://t.co/zjWIMn1fnk

        @WickedGood I still consider Kai'Sa my main. (90% of all my games have been on Kai'Sa). But just moving Jg up to 2nd preference has resulted in 100% Jg assignment for the last 10 games.

      @IksarHS I've been swayed to the Jungler ways.

          @IksarHS BTW, it was your comment that Jungle doesn't have to care about last hitting *at all* that pushed it over the edge for me.

            @Celestalon YEAH! plus there is so much variety want to play support-y? great! want to play a tank? an assassin? excellent! want to farm all game, want to fight all game? go for it!

      @Celestalon It’s less of an issue and more people hate jungling. So I became a Vi main.

        @Wytchlite I *think* it's not strictly a bug, but perhaps an unintended undesireable affect of the protected role system. The "your last game had something unfortunate happen so you guaranteed get your 1st role next game" effect is way too common.

          @Wytchlite So like 2-4 people in a game commonly have guaranteed-1st-pref, and Jg is least popular, means that people with 5th-Jg get forced into Jg a fair bit of the time, if if there was someone with 2nd/3rd-Jg in the lobby.

            @Celestalon Probably, but like you, I learned to embrace my inner Tarzan. As a result, Emerald III.

              @Wytchlite Yep, same, got back up to Emerald IV today (I think my peak was Emerald II in like S3 or S4?).

      Other cool side-effect of this. So many people are being forced into Jg when they're not good at it, it drives down the average performance of champs in the role. So I don't have to play very well at all to get A's or S's. 5K-4D-6A... "Better than 92% of Shyvanas! A!" lol, thx.

      @Celestalon i feel like kibler should've been tagged

        @RidiculousHat I *think* Kibler only plays Volibear for Jungle.

          @Celestalon i was thinking more that you like being a dragon and so does he

            @RidiculousHat Yeah, we'll always be Dragon bros.

      @Celestalon Thoughts on BG3?

        @McBeeHS Baulder's Gate 3? Super cool. The slow roll out of content and continual updates to that content, combined with it being a story-based singleplayer game... make it really hard to replay with each major update though.
