A capstone rune to help off-meta junglers would be nice.

It is rather obvious that the current jungle is design with only meta junglers in mind, a rune that could help off-meta junglers that struggle would be really great.

Obviously it shouldn't be too good, it's benefit should be limited on junglers that already have a good clear, and amplified on those that struggle, so here's my take on a rune for off-meta junglers:

  • One with the land (Inspiration tree):

While inside your own jungle, being engaged with a jungle camp grants you 1 stack per second, each of those stacks grants you 2% additionnal damage to monsters. Killing a large monster consume those stacks, healing you for up to 2hp for every stacks consumed, depending on your missing health. The damage bonus also works against enemy champions, but you only get 1% additionnal damage per stacks.

Additionnaly, for every unique camps, epic monster and unique champion takedown, you gain a stack of "Growth", you gain a bonus for each of those stacks depending on your jungle enchantment of choice:

Cinderhulk: 14hp per stacks Warrior: 1AD per stacks Runic Echoes: 1,6 AP per stacks Bloodrazor: 1% attack speed per stacks

Such a rune would greatly help junglers that struggle with their camps, while it's potential would be mostly wasted on junglers with a good clear. Junglers that are vulnerable to invades would also benefit from the added sustain and increased damage to champions. Bonus stats on jungle items would give them an incentive to invade, gank and secure objectives to maximize their number of stacks.

I've been thinking about this for a while, beside fleet footwork, there isn't a single capstone rune that benefit junglers inside their jungle.
