Hey Severest, I’ve been crunching the latest patch data on hero cooldowns—especially those changes to the jungle stuns. What’s your take on how this will shift line management in the mid‑lane and the overall jungle control strategy?

The changes reduce stun uptime, so junglers will lose the ability to lock down lanes quickly. Mid‑lane teams need to keep pressure; if the jungler can't stun, the lane will see more ganks. Expect a shift: jungles will have to be more mobile, relying on positioning rather than crowd control. Mid lanes will need to pick heroes that can close the gap quickly and maintain a strong presence. The overall strategy will lean toward tighter map awareness and faster rotations. It’s a harder map to control, but disciplined teams can still dominate if they adapt.
