In season one, the jungle halves were split betwween North-West and South-East with a typical starting route of Wolves, Blue and "enemy" Golems (followed by a gank top/bottom lane, depending on whether you're blue team or purple team). This added an inherent risk to jungling (beyond the mechanical issues jungling had back then) as a chunk of your experience and gold required putting yourself in the enemy's domain.

The original Twisted Treeline also shared this philosophy with only one of the four top camps being "safe" for the allied team and the middle two being contestable/dangerous; and the map only had a single Grez Grez that, again, was meant to be contestable.

Over the seasons the golems were made consistently stronger while wraiths were made weaker; the additional Wight/Gromp camp was added; and so forth... until eventually, the jungle re-organized into South-West and North-East, with invasion being a specific tactic rather than a standard feature of jungling.

So I thought I'd try to reshape the structure of the jungle to hopefully encourage invasion as a standard-of-practice.

Map Rework[]

Current Version
Emptylord JungleEdit V2
  • Baron Nashor's Baron Nashor's pit has been rotated slightly toward top lane and Dragon's Dragon's pit has been rotated slightly toward bottom lane.
  • Moved Gromp Gromp into the river to create a bridge camp between the two quadrants.
  • Added a Fae Fae camp (intent is to have a starting location whose Smite buff rewards spell-based junglers).
  • Brushes repositioned in favour of the North-East and South-West jungle halves (i.e. moving from Raptors Raptors across river is heavily protected by brush, but moving from the red base into the bottom river is exposed).
  • Added a small piece of terrain added to river, similar to those found in the bases.
Previous Versions

Jungle Items[]

For me, I dislike that the stats your opponent has bought is so difficult to determine at a glance - heck, it's hard to even tell if they've upgraded to tier-3 - and yet the "Smite" that they have bought is visible both by item's icon (Stalker's Blade Stalker's Blade) and summoner spell's icon (Chilling Smite Chilling Smite). I've also encountered times where, for example, I see a Stalker's Blade Stalker's Blade in a Vi's Vi's inventory and assume she has the attack damage item - just because she has the sword; or a Skirmisher's Sabre Skirmisher's Sabre in a Shyvana's Shyvana's inventory and assume she has Devourer.

When writing this version, I wrote it with my summoner spell rework in-mind (see below) - i.e. there's no longer a simple "Smite" summoner spell to augment. As such, there is now only one tier-2 jungle item. However, there are now three summoner spells you can choose to augment your jungling style - Consume, Detonate and (different) Smite, which intrinsically have different values outside the jungle (with Consume being a variation of Blasting Smite Blasting Smite, and the closest to the traditional Smite).
