Maybe We Need Multiple Starting Items for Junglers
Stonewall over at ROG had a good idea about jungler items. What if we have 3 starting jungle items instead of just the machete? It works pretty simply: one for tanks, one for AP champs, and one for AD champs. The idea is to give a starting item with its own upgrade paths that are designed around each type of jungler's need, particularly in the early game.
I really think this is an interesting idea for helping out the jungle and riot should look into this.
