PBE - Jungle spawn at 2:00 ?

Jungle Summoner's Rift All camps all now spawn at 2:00 instead of 1:55.

I'm curious about the rationale behind this one. Are leashes trying to be removed from the game entirely? In that case shouldn't smite do more damage to monsters and then just have lanes spawn earlier rather than push back jungle spawn time?

This is BS for junglers.

If riot really has a problem with laners taking an early camp for an xp advantage, all they should do is make your first camp cleared give less xp if it's not smited. Amy jungler will smite their first camp, so they're unaffected instead of being unable to get a leash and being off to an even slower start! Alternatively, make camps cleared at level 1 (or at level 1 or 2) give less xp to champions that down own a machete.

Simple, and straight to the point. Doesn't hurt the jungler at all (hell, move the spawn times back to 1:45 please! !) AND prevents laners from taking a camp at level 1.

It's in an attempt to prevent laners from poaching jungle camps when they spawn for the exp advantage. Usually bot lane, and usually Krugs or Gromp, also... usually high elo.

I'm pretty sure it's a well known thing they are trying to move away from leashing. You help protect your jungler's buffs, then head out to lane with enough time to grab every bit of cs you can. If you try to understand the reworked jungle, you realize you don't need a leash.

So what you're trying to say is jungling is dead and duo top is going to become on a thing now?
