I feel like Krugs are designed to waste your time...

Yea, you get a ton of gold if you manage to kill the entire camp, but the amount of time you need to invest to do this isn't worth it most of the time. In the amount of time you spend trying to clear this, you're missing out on a teamfight, helping your team push, securing an objective, or something else much more important. Not to mention the fact that the small ones are REALLY difficult to target and often spawn in really annoying locations sometimes (like on the other side of the wall. They should make krugs less tanky or reduce their damage. In their current state they're just not worth your time.

Early game, I totally agree. However, that's their design. You're not supposed to do them every clear. They're there when you have nothing else to do and can just farm for a hot minute to get a lot of gold.

It doesn't matter whether it's early game or late game. There is NEVER a point in the game where it's actually worth it to clear krugs. That's my point. In mid/late game I can solo drag faster that I can kill krugs. Riot should reduce their health and/or resistances and make the smaller ones easier to target. They could also make them worth slightly more gold as an alternative.

This is why I don't ever get them hardly . I'll skip them and take the enemies jungle

You still have the option to just kill the main ones only. I do that a lot.

It's there to rack up the CS count, so every time you show up the enemy jungler would check your stuff with tab and be like "holy shit mate, they already have like 8 CS more than I do this early in the game? Oh noes, I think I'm tilted!"

But really though, it's supposed to be the jungle steroid especially for early game, that is primarily there to help you shoot through the leveling for when there is no red or blue available (and/or when you're not so hot to just gank or counterjungle). It will take some time, sure, but rewarding.

Just make sure you get your timing right, so you won't be busy clearing it when there are more important callings to heed.

They are 100% there to waste your time. Riot wanted to make a camp that only junglers who wanted to spend that much time taking camps would bother with. They designed them specifically to take a long time to kill.
