[GAMEPLAY] Camps respawn on map even if do not have timer

If the enemy takes a jungle camp without your team having vision (so therefore you do not get timer) and you run by it to clear it off the map, Afterwards when it respawns it reappears on the mini-map even when you do not have vision of it

1.)Play on Summoners Rift with atleast one enemy 2.) Enemy clears jungle camps and tells you there respawn timer 3.) You walk by the camp while cleared to clear it from mini-map 4.) Run away so you have no vision of the camp 5.) Wait however long it takes for them to respawn 6.) Look at map and it should be there anyway you do not have the timer

Happens 100% of the time, here is evidence on my Youtube Also took to Reddit since I could not figure this out and I was just confused but my English is not the best, I will admit that, so do not take anything away from it i am sure its easy to figure out if i spelled a word wrong or wrote a different word instead xD

I assumed this is a bug because it happen right after the timers were released (when you press tab timers thing) and it was not mention as far as realize in the patch notes that I can find but if it is not a bug it is illogical you kinda of have to admit...

It has been like this since I can remember, and I started Season 2. It's more than likely intended, and while I appreciate that I can see when my stolen camp respawns, I think a more strategic approach to it, would be to only allow the camps to be seen respawning if you had vision of it being taken. Or if you clear the very last minion of that camp.

It has always been like that. I'm not entirely sure why, but I don't think it calls for a change. I mean a timer tells you "Dragon is going to spawn in 20sec go prepare (ward, etc...)", an icon appearing immediately when it spawns actually requires good map awareness as you'll only gain anything off of it if you notice it within a few seconds and are close enough to react before the enemy clears it (even less for buff camps).

For the logical aspect, write it off to the ability to see the time remaining on an opponents buff and back out when they killed the Camp (then the only uncertainty is how long it took to kill the little guys). If I see the enemy jungler with 95% of my blue buff left, I'm aware he took it about 10 seconds ago, there's my timer.

It appears for enemy camps too, btw.
