[GAMEPLAY] Ivern jungle clear less gold

Maggistro··1 votes·404 views

If you clear the krugs camp in the new jungle with ivern you only get 70 ( big ) + 10 ( medium) = 80 gold. EVERY other jungler gets 70+10 then again 210 (small) + 2(10) (medium) and again 4*(10) adding up to a total of 160g. This is a huge defizit for ivern as a jungler, which feels like a bug for me.

Considering how much of an advantage he has over other junglers with the new jungle changes I think this is fine.

That's intended.

The extra gold and experience are a reward for the extra time taken to clear the camp, but Ivern doesn't have to spend any extra time clearing it.

Considering he is currently the strongest jungler in the game, he really doesn't need buffs.

Well... I wouldn't say Ivern is the strongest jungler as much as I would say he is the strongest camp clearer. Every jungler- tank, bruiser or mage- can solo the dragon at level 9 at the latest. Ivern seems to be missing that ability to solo the drag at level 9. If I am wrong, please correct me but Ivern seems to be lacking in that regards to solo the dragon.

But yes, Krugs giving less gold is intentional for time clear differences.

It is largely due to how gold-efficient support itemization can be.

Ivern doesn't need a jungle item (sitting on Hunter's Talisman mostly of experience), so he can just build utility items and CDR. As a result, he can become rather difficult to kill very quickly while providing a lot of utility for his team.

There is very little you can do to stop him from just walking into your jungle and stealing buff camps whenever he has Smite up. His durability, CC and quick clear (channel + Smite) kills it very quickly. Generally, you will only get one of your buff camps unless you manage to steal one of his.

In addition, his passive lets himself and another ally get any buffs he clears. This means that his allied laners can always have the buffs from his second clear on.
