Opinions online are polarized: junglers are the darlings of Season 42, and the hidden rewards are mind-blowing?

The new S42 season has brought mixed feelings, with netizens' opinions polarized and quite different. On the positive side, the new matchmaking algorithm is quite pleasing so far, without the phenomenon of winning streaks followed by losing streaks. After displaying the average rank, it seems that the battles have become more confident. Even though I am in the low to mid-ranks of a gathering of martial arts masters, knowing the level of the enemy at least gives me a warning.

Rank is one thing, but entering a match is another. No one can guarantee that rank fully reflects the true skill level of teammates and opponents. Hero reworks, equipment adjustments, and various other elements are changing the environment and system. Players who can't keep up are immediately accused of playing too recklessly, and even using their main hero won't help. Perhaps this is why pro players advise avoiding the beginning of the season. Unfortunately, I was facing a player who was already at 100 stars. On the other hand, the skilled players climbed to Glory King in just a few days—the best time to sprint at the start of the season.

The S42 patch environment is favorable for junglers.

No one can tell what kind of era Season 42 will evolve into. The answer to the meta is no one. According to forum comments, everyone is pointing to the jungler. They have benefited from the meta and are like gods when the new season starts. With their strong attributes, it is very easy to climb the ranks. The original purpose of the position is to control and dominate the rhythm. Now the early game resource weight has increased. In other words, the jungler's development speed is faster. As long as they don't collapse, they can carry the side lanes and the jungle. Within ten minutes, the effect will be immediately exposed, and the outcome of the game will be in the making.

The chosen one of the current meta, a Tier 0 hero, constantly reshuffling the meta. The Cloud Spear's flexible use has garnered much praise. This season, it's chosen as the main jungler, and all its unique characteristics inexplicably come into play. It boasts high burst damage and high mobility, delivering a spectacular performance. Don't feel frustrated during the process; as long as your entry timing is precise, its threat is terrifying. With the resurrection mechanism, tower diving and securing kills are no problem. Whether you're Nuwa, a ranged attacker, or maintaining distance, she easily bypasses your matrix space, gets right up to you, and unleashes a furious whip attack. She consistently earns gold medals as a jungler, and even top-tier laners. In a single ranked match, she gains two or three stars, and with the star-adding mechanism, she quickly reaches 50 stars, making the King's Mark a breeze.
