New jungle, new champ, I might quit now.

So I'm a jungle main, tested out a few different things with the new jungle, seeing some things that worked, some things that dont. And I'm still really bothered by this jungle. For one, if youre a tank jungler, and on blue side and your top lane loses(or on purple and your bot lane loses), then youre screwed. a very common thing for them to do when they are losing, is go do the closest jungle camp. Well, that would be Gromp. Which as a tank jungler, is vital in our clear, so nobody really thought about that I think when they made the new jungle. I had that happen in a game, and it hurt my clear time as rammus by an insane amount. Not to mention as a tank jungler, if you want any decent first clear, you kinda have to start with him instead of a buff.
On top of that, they make an overpowered adc with infinite dashes, and that does insane %hp damage. So no melee can ever chase her with any hope of catching her really. At one point I taunted kalista under a tower, when my taunt wore off, she had maybe 150hp left and I had like 900.(this was around lvl7) But because of her idiotic dashes from her autos, pretty soon i was down to about 200 hp, while still almost under my tower. She's like vayne, but 100x worse in my opinion. Most the changes to the jungle are fine, great, give us more options, but the buff to the jungle minions needs to be cut in like half. Because them being so strong limits our options more than anything. After clearing with a non-sustain jungler, I'm too low to really gank. So you make the jungle way easier for junglers with high sustain, because mana problems are also a big factor now.
What the hell Riot? the jungle changes dont encourage us to gank, they force us to stay in the jungle, and go back constantly just to survive. Also, one thing I think is idiotic, in ranked for jungle, if somebody does pick a tank jungler. You can just pick a high sustain/damage jungler, get the jungle item for invading, and pretty much just live in their jungle. And unless you call atleast 1 more person to help you, you lose a huge section of your jungle. All-in-all after like 3 years of playing and loving this game, unless some MAJOR changes are made(or reverted back to their previous) and SOON, then I am just going to quit, and pick a different game to play. Because this game isn't fun how it is.

I've said my piece, what do you guys think?

Riot will change and balance a lot. I am still this is out of the PTR but it is preseason so we all just have to deal with it. Im a rammus main too and its so terrible he falls so far behind compared to the assassin junglers :(

And now we have Rek'Sai. Which is basically riots way of saying, "We thought Kassadin was kind of bullshit, so we made another who can also sustain in the jungle, and is basically another lee sin." My big question is what about those of us who like assassins? I mean Rek'sai has stealth reveal built into her kit. Basically every game from now on is either rek sai or lee sin jungle, riven or lee sin top, akali, fizz, or ahri mid, and kalista or lucian bot. There is no need for anything outside of that grouping.
