Am I the only jungler who feels that Krugs are very unneeded & unnecessary to clear?
Most of the time, I usually start with blue or Gromp, and when I get to clear the red side camps, I always skip the Krugs because of the distance it takes to travel around the wall, or that it's buff is not even dependable in teamfights. Lemme list out the usefulness in camp buff just to clarify:
Gromp- A pretty good buff to aid tanky junglers to have that "kind-of-a-baby-thornmail" defense.
Wolves- One of my favourite buffs. It's a pretty good asset when I need to always check for counter-junglers, especially Evelynn.
Raptors- Also a good buff when I need to be clear if enemy has warded their bush or not, since I always take the yellow trinket early game for early visions, & dragon control.
Krugs- About 99% of it is only useful on clearing just the camps, while that 1% for minions, which clearly isn't of any use at all. It can't even be used for dragons & barons too, while rendering it utter useless against champions.
So it's clear that Krugs aren't of any use in terms of teamfights, only beneficial for it's stun passive on monsters for AA-reliant champs like Xin or Nunu. So here are a couple of solution I can think of, and of course, you don't have to accept it if it isn't right.
Solution 1:
Change the back wall to the other side, that way, transversing from red to krugs, or vice-versa, would be a lot easier & takes less time to travel. I mean, raptor's wall gets to face away from mid lane, why not the Krugs' as well?
Solution 2:
Adding a new passive to it:
New Passive: Every 6th hit would have special effects taking place:
- If 6th hits on a monster, it would stun for 1 second, while also reducing it's damage by 15% for the next 2 attacks the monster deals.
- If 6th hits on a champion, it would reduce his damage by 10% for 1 seconds, but the stun will not apply.
Lemme know what you guys think.
