I want you guys to take an objective look at this and tell me what you think

Objective: aim to make top lane cinderhulk/smite less desirable. Solutions: Create 1800 gold jungle items Reasoning: if theres no real incentive to keep the jungle item into late game Wouldn't you rather have a real summoner instead of smite as a top laner

Some small adjustments have been made such that the jungle items reflect their new price points. So now you have a pretty cheap item for late game right. well solution is simple make it such that you can sell the jungle item for its full gold value such that you don't lose any gold to put towards your replacement item of choice.

You'll be encouraged to hold onto it however. -What if I sell the jungle item then I won't get bonus gold from jungle camps? That's a decision youll have to make as to when you want to sell the jungle it. Hence why it will still be best to keep it and focus on building your other items until you have nothing left to build but switch out your jungle item for a better item.

For the vast majority of games which end around say the 35-40 minute mark junglers will not see themselves selling their jungle items for entire course of the match.

Why this shouldn't hurt junglers. A win win for early and late game. The main reason we have jungle items is to assist with the early game. and provide an affordable general purpose item to get you going. Once late game hits its usage/role window of efficacy has run out. For example you don't see junglers trying to poach enemy jungle at the 50 minute mark. At that point its mostly about team coordinations etc. Such that its no longer really needed. by then youll likely have another item to apply slow like you would for chilling smite. and youll have tankyness you'd otherwise get from skirmisher or the mana you have trailblazer for.

I like to think of jungle items as a bigger version of doran items of sorts.
