Jungler or shooter? The most difficult position to rank up in League of Legends in Season 15 sparks heated debate

On January 31, with the official opening of the S15 season, the ranking environment of "League of Legends" ushered in new challenges. The addition of new elements such as complex laning mechanisms, a new wild monster system, and " seizing the initiative " has made many players feel unprecedented pressure in the process of striving for higher ranks. Recently, a hot discussion post on the overseas "League of Legends" community Reddit has sparked heated discussions: Which position is the most difficult to rank in the current version? Among them, junglers and shooters have become the focus of discussion .

In many discussions, many players believe that jungle is one of the most challenging positions to rank up in the current version. Compared with other positions, jungle not only needs to control resources, but also needs to grasp the rhythm and influence the trend of the entire game. A high-ranking jungle player shared his experience in the forum: "Jungler is the position with the most pressure in my ranking process, but it is also the position that improves the fastest. Because everything depends on whether you can successfully take down the target and obtain more resources than the opponent."

The changes in Season 15 also make the responsibility of jungle players even greater. The new mechanisms "Etahan" and "Seize the Opportunity" require junglers to play a greater role in the early stage and lead the team to gain an advantage, otherwise the mid-to-late game will be extremely difficult. "The changes in the jungle this season make me feel like every game is like dancing on the edge of a knife," said a player, "Once the rhythm is disrupted by the opponent, the whole team may fall into a disadvantage."

Although junglers need to control the overall situation, shooter players also believe that their position is the most difficult to rank among all roles. As the core output in the later stage, shooters are often weak in the early stage and need to rely on the cooperation of the team. A player shared his experience: "Many times the game is over before I make three pieces of equipment. I have a chance to win, but my teammates collapse too quickly."

In addition, the shooter also relies on the support. If the support doesn't know how to play or doesn't cooperate, the shooter will often be in jail. The coordinated operation of the bottom lane duo is crucial, but if there is a lack of tacit understanding between teammates, the shooter's space for performance will be greatly limited. One player bluntly said: "The jungler can lead the whole game, but the shooter can only wait for opportunities and can't even control his own destiny."

In addition to junglers and shooters, some top laners also said that their positions are extremely challenging. Top laners not only need to master hero laning skills, but also face many restraint relationships. A top laner lamented on the forum: "Once the opponent chooses a counter hero, the entire laning will become extremely difficult." During the laning phase, the pressure on the single lane is greater. If you are not careful, you will be snowballed by the opponent, affecting the overall rhythm.

In contrast, many players believe that support and mid lane are relatively easy to gain points. Mid lane heroes usually have strong lane clearing capabilities and can quickly support the side lanes. Support can influence the game by roaming, and can still play a role even if the laning is unfavorable. Therefore, many high-end players believe that in the current version, it is easier to gain points for mid lane and support than for junglers and shooters.
