Nerfing jungle experience in pre-season without buffing mob spawn rate encourages ganking over farm

Right now with the 10-year celebration and pre-season road map, Riot has stated that they want to reduce jungler presence in other lanes so as to allow those lanes to have a more normalized laning phase and reduce gank pressure.

But they are going about it all wrong.

If you want to reduce gank pressure, you need to force the jungler to spend more time in the jungle clearing camps for gold and experience than having them complete a full clear and either twiddle their thumbs or gank. A gank should be a risky maneuver, and not just in the literal sense of losing a 2v1 because your jungler is underleveled going into a gank. A gank should be risky because if the gank fails to end in a kill or tower pressure, it should set the jungler behind a little in gold and experience relative to a jungler that stays and farms.

The strategy of reducing experience and gold per mob rather than reducing it and reducing downtime on monster spawns will only push ganking junglers to gank more. You need to reward the power-farmers; the Shyvanas, Yis, Amumus for staying in their jungle or even invading the enemy jungle when the jungler goes for a gank. Right now, a ganker can clear their jungle with relative ease, gank a lane, and return to the jungle before the camps have even respawned. This means that a powerfarmer has nothing to contest in the enemy jungle most of the time and has no way to really stand out. Why do you think all these gank-heavy junglers are being played? Their playstyle is being rewarded with every nerf jungler experience takes.

If you truly want to see more diversity in the jungle then you need to provide incentives for farming the jungle. Farming means having something to farm in the first place, rather than an afterthought when all of your camps have been cleared and still have not respawned.
