Why is there never talk of buff/nerf ing specific Junglers?

Instead of the giant sweeping changes to the jungle?

We can all agree that the game currently, and has for a long long time now, favored spam ganker style junglers that don't need to farm camps beyond buffs and scuttle. Khazix JarvanIV Vi to name a few.

Power farming junglers was something stated to be coming back as a viable playstyle with the pre season changes yet many have noticed that in fact the spam ganking has become even worse while power farm junglers still can't farm up their level 6 power spike in time.

Why not specifically target the spam ganker junglers to deal less damage to monsters and give the power farm junglers more damage to monsters? Simple little things like this that reinforce their jungle style without making them useless or broken OP.

For instance, nerf JarvanIV passive damage vs Neutral monsters and buff Shyvana W damage to Neutral Monsters. Little things like this that shift the champion more into the jungle style they were designed for without changing anything else and throwing the game completely out of wack again.

Uhh, Shyv doesn't need any more buffs to her clear.

And I don't even see J4/Vi 90% of the time. Udyr, Olaf, Noct, WW, Kha are what I see.

I tell you more,i have seen this twice.2 junglers one power farm second ganking.guess who was under leveled? Yes power farm, dunno how this happend but jungler which doing gank have 2 levels adventage,vs power farm jungler its just insane.Dunno why riot nerfing whole jungle where they could only nerf few "op" champs.Same with spear of shojin,why delete item while they can just nerf harder champs using it (btw they delete spear and add worst item to replace it (sanquine))XDDDDDDDDDD

Im sure there is a lot of talk about it. But Riot Mods delete the posts.

If you want to actually talk about the game go to Reddit or something.
