I am guessing that backing after 3 camps will be the best thing to do now... else miss out on 30g....

So with a machete and the changes to the camps it evens out to literally no change from live. Then once you upgrade machete you're netting more gold than you would on live. All of this while lowering the value of jungle camps to nonjunglers.

I understand all this correctly?

Extra gold gen is great, might actually help out the tank junglers who have otherwise slow clears getting the ball rolling.

Unfortunately, I see this helping all the junglers who are already strong more than it's going to help the ones who are struggling to keep up. The sustain based counter junglers are going to have even more reason to rummage around in your jungle now, and get rewarded more heavily for it.

I can see Nunu snowballing even harder right now.

So basically 2 extra pots (or 1 ward) extra per clear. (Note that Trailblazer has increased CD on PBE)

Considering that Chickens allow you to destroy wards for free, the jungle remains more expensive than pre-rework.

Mana heavy junglers (like Sejuani) still suffer for from the Trailblazer nerf more than is made up by the bonus gold (they'ld relatively loose to less mana depedanant junglers anyway).

It's an improvement but it doesn't tackle the main issue.

The change is to encourage people to not take their jungler's camps if anything. All camps now give reduced gold (except if you're a jungler).

Woot finally, Junglers have been incredibly gold starved

Edit Oh wait, the increased amount of gold is absolutely minimal while also punishing anyone else from taking jg mobs AND punishing you even harder if you get counter jungled, since you NEED the big mobs to make up the gold difference
