I hate the new jungle!

The new jg is basically just stupidly hard. I like the new jg items, smite, and buffs, but the monsters are stupidly hard. What was so wrong about the old jg? Sure, competitive games were over run with assassins. Khazix Rengar But in solo queue, the jungles were a lot more diverse,Maokai Sejuani Elise Skarner Rammus Hecarim Udyr Amumu Diana Volibear Trundle MasterYi Vi LeeSin XinZhao and most importantly fun. Now it only seems as though most people are picking campy and sustain champions, Warwick Fiddlesticks Shaco and it doesn't feel fun.

I think it doesn't feel fun because each jungle camp is an objective and a challenge to clear. When the clear objectives should be focused on ganking, dragon, towers, and barren. The camps should be more farm focused (with the exception of the new strategic camp buffs).

I'm not saying to make the camps not hard at all, but most camps shouldn't walk out of the jungle with less then a quarter health before reaching level 3. I hope to see the jungle monsters adjusted in the near future.

Yes, lets pretend the old jungle was diverse. LeeSin Elise Khazix Vi

Personally, I'm enjoying the new challenge of relearning and remastering the jungle. Only now, I can be certain I've got a chance against my opponent instead of knowing they can clear their jungle, my jungle and kill me and half my lanes without even losing half their health.

Because I admit it's pretty boring when I get to fight the old monsters when I reached level 6 and watch the monsters die faster than stepping on an ant. and with continuous jungle I only get to earn about 5 gold if I finished my item 3208 item 3209 item 3206. With this new jungle set up, thinking of new strategies on which large monster to smite is pretty interesting now. I notice some champs like Hecarim wouldn't fit into the new jungle meta so much, but I'm sure Riot should be already looking into this now.

Ya sorry no. No one picked Hecarim Sejuani even before the changes. Both champs are pretty bad.
