With the new jungle you just gave blue side yet another advantage

Red buff restores health when smitten and gives a health restore passive. Blue buff restores mana when smitten and gives a mana restore passive.

The majority(if not all) of the junglers in the current state need a strong leash to get things going, the least will come from the bottom side due to convenience and strength in numbers.

This means that blue side jungler has a much higher advantage when it comes to invading right after or even at simply keeping on going towards clearing another camp.

it'd be smited* And you have to start Golems or Toad not Red or Blue they're too hard.

Didn't have to be so harsh. And I thought grammar Nazis were rude.

Start Gromp, smite it. Then Sentinel (blue), don't smite it. Do Razorbeaks, don't smite. Then do Brambleback (red) and smite. The poison from Gromp will help you clear MUCH faster and let you take a LOT less damage as a result. You don't really need a leash with Gromp, so aside from guarding, your team can get to lane fast. Gromp buff is also good against invades as the dot does effect other champs. Always start your clears with Gromp. It will cut your clear time down a ton, if you don't have a jungler with high sustain, consider the AoE smite for healing, it will save your butt in the jungle.

That's long term though and it's only a circumvent at best, since you will still not get health back like the blue jungler will.

I certainly don't doubt that the route you specified is efficient mind you, but I do doubt it closes the gap from the blue jungler geting red with much more freedom.

In short, I think the 2 buffs should have a shared restoration of hp and mp.

Counterjungling I think is going to be a lot harder with the Brambleback in place. It hits like a truck.

Wait, I'm confused. It's way better to smite red when you are solo to heal for like 200-300 than have someone help you do it and smite it for basically nothing. Purple side definitely has the advantage here...
