My idea: if it has been a few minutes since the scuttle has been attacked, it will go untargetable, burrow into the ground, and travel to the other side of the river. It will likely make it feel more "dynamic" without it being pure RNG.
Cunky6 votes...this is ironic, right?
Killer of Night92 votesThe idea is funny but I think with the actual change it will have low chance to survive before someone killed it.
TotalJerk3 votesI should've expanded on my reasoning; Part of why I'm suggesting the idea is that if you can effectively deny the opposing team from taking it via lane priority you can force it to move to the other river and allow your jungler to take it there.
Also if the scuttle is currently on a shitty side where neither team wants it, it will eventually move to the other side. A problem I am seeing with the current scuttle is that if neither team gives a shit about having vision on the side of the river its on enough to spend ages killing it, it can end up like an unwanted elemental drake: staying there for a long time until someone just goes "fuck it, I got nothing better to do".
Snowman Arc2 votesI mean, Scuttle only survives for 10 seconds after it spawns, so...
JimTheSnail1 votesI like the Idea
underscores2221 votesNext patch: "We think the Scuttle Crab changes have really opened up strategic choices amongst junglers. However, knowing where the scuttler will spawn doesn't keep junglers on their toes as much as we wanted, so we're adding in some more dynamics to the situation.
New: After a random amount of time without being in combat, Scuttle Crab will travel to the other side of the river to say hi"
TotalJerk1 votesNot random. Strictly on a timed interval. You'll always know where it is and where its gonna be, but situations will change so much in other aspects of the game that you can't flowchart a long term playstyle around it.
The Yetii Rider1 votesI mean...it's okay as an idea but I don't think it will see much use. People go after Scuttle when the mark turns yellow.
TaroBunni1 votesI'd like wolf pups and baby Baron Nashors to occasionally slink and walk around directly down the diagonal middle of the screen for extra gold, but the randomness of that would probably be beaten down, and ganking will get a whole lot more fun.
Feed or Famine1 votesI would rather them just get rid of scuttle and put the xp/gold back into other camps tbh.
Kitten of Evil1 votesFor all we know, they already implemented this change!
