So there's been a ton of arguments over jungle timers lately. And one of the major arguments that seems to come up is the idea that because it takes skill to remember to time jungle camps, objectives, etc that they shouldn't be given to people.
And while I agree that it does take skill to do these things, I think the argument is completely foolish. Just because something takes skill doesn't mean that it should automatically stay in the game. Jungle camp icons automatically show up if cleared for instance, keeping track of them with no help whatsoever would take skill, but nobody is arguing that they should be changed.
Auto attacking takes less skill than telling your champion to use every single attack. Heck, why not make autos skill shots? These would add more skill to the game. But we don't suggest them.
Making something harder does not make it better. People talk about DOTA 2 for instance and the skill that it takes compared to LoL with mechanics like denial. But the thing is, I don't want League to be that complicated. I don't think I would enjoy it as much if it was.
So make arguments for objectives and camps having no timers, but don't simply say they shouldn't exist because it takes skill. Remember there are a ton of things not in League that take skill, and they don't exist because adding them would make the game worse.
