i cant find a word to describe how frustrating the current jungle is (story inside)

in my last ranked game, since i was last pick, naturally i had to jungle

my first pick banned jarvan, and the enemy picked lee sin, so already i was at a massive disadvantage

after asking around, someone suggested wukong, formerly known to many as "tustrong"(god bless duckin sicks), and since i am pretty familiar with him, i decided why not

my team got the famous first blood before minions spawned, with me getting an assist, and the assist gold, which, according to riot, 'makes some early junglers overbearing' or whatever the exact quote is

after basing and buying a single extra health potion with my new found gold, i promptly died to the chicken camp after doing golems > red, partially due to a misclick on my part, clicking on the small chicken while the big one had one hit left, but mostly due to the season 5 jungle, even with the 150 extra health from that potion

now i know what you are thinking, "why didnt you just back off and recall" and my answer is this: honestly i would have been even more behind if i had backed off and based, because realistically the death timer was shorter than 8 seconds, and i didnt lose red buff anyway.

only moments after dying, i see a full health lee sin who has not based, double buffs in tow, absolutely wreck my top laner. this immediately turned me off for the rest of the game

why is lee sin allowed to be full health ganking top lane, while i am dying to the chicken camp even with the extra kill gold that prompted riot to up the price of the jungle items in the first place?

honestly i just cant think of a word to describe how the jungle is now. it used to be so fun, now its just a shit fest between jarvan and lee sin, and riot feels fit to nerf sona instead

WW is another overwhelmingly strong Jungler. He clears jungle in under 5 minutes and all he needs is a lookout (Not a leash) to ensure his safety against an invasion. He can then gank bot lane comfortably before going back.

Because you aren't routing correctly. That lee obviously didn't do raptors. Krugs (instant smite) -> red (no smite) -> blue (smite) is the fast gank route you use when you want to gank early. Some junglers can clear this effectively enough to gank at lv3 with near full health.
