Junglers Being Behind?

OK, i ahve a really weird question to ask, but is it just me, or is it that some junglers now are behind all game unless they get a minimum of 2 kills before level 8-9. I tested it out, and if im not using a sustain jungler, I'm always 1-2 levels behind everyone else (Tied up with bot lane is typically where im at)

I'm curious if anyone has noticed this, because before i was capable of holding out alot longer in the jungle, getting more chances to gank, but now, whenever i back, i get 5 health pots just because i have nothing else to keep me sustained. 5 Health pots are not only for the first back, but for every back up until i ahve around 2-3 items. some people ahve actually suggested to get a dorans blade when jungling just because they need something to keep them from dying after a few camps.

So yea, what are your experiences wit your placement in teh game as a jugnler. Are you behind, or ahead, or don't even pay attention...

I found rangers helps me keep myself up in the jungle and helps keep me near the same level. Cant say the same about the other jungle items tho

jungle has become extremely unforgiving thats for sure

I have had alot of success with wukong, I feel like ad casters (panth, wu, kha etc) do pretty well even with a lack of sustain just because of the new items (warrior enchantment followed by brutalizer is fantastic)

i buy lots of pots and upgrade machete to the only good choice which is rangers and seem to not have many problems

the hardest thing about the new jungle is the fact that now you really cannot hard carry a game.. i find if lanes lose hard there is nothing you can do to stop it because it really isnt possible to get ahead or stay even by just sitting in the jungle

oh and if your team mates take any jungle camps you're pretty much screwed
