Before downvoting, just read, then do it.

1- I dont get that much jungle pressure anymore, which helps me play aggressively. 2- Meta just changed from "Go help your botlaner" to "go help your jungler" so my mentality changed from "I need to push lane and go for a roam to help my team" to "I can play more around mid, if i can get priority i can help my jungler to get scuttle and other objectives" which is better. 3- Junglers are interacting more with eachother than laners, and this is more healthy. 4- Junglers dont win lanes anymore, laners win jungle. Roles just swapped, nothing to bitch about. 5- I feel more in game than ever, and my map awareness increased because i have to check my jungler and help him if it is necessary. 6- Early game isnt all about farming and waiting for your jungler anymore, you can play proactive.

I hated riot too much for new rune system, seems like they're finally making some good stuff. GJ Rito! Keep up the good work!

Well since nobody has played the counter-side yet....... Personally, as an avid jungle player, the changes to scuttle are awful, but its not scuttlers fault. The ISSUE comes from the change to XP, where you no longer can hit lvl 3 off your base camps near whatever buff you start at, also all of us jungle players have paths we take on certain jungle picks, but because of the XP difference, we have to change everything up. A lot of us already disagreed with the RNG of the dragons, but now RNG with Scuttlers is too much. I don't mind the change to scuttle as much as others, but give me back my lvl 3 off of the base camps near my blue or red.

Agree with pretty much everything u said. And its also why im going back to ADC'ing. Maybe a jungler could still carry through duo'ing with a mid laner with alot of pressure... but this jungle after just one patch... is SO different than every other jungle I've played. The champion pool that will work as viable junglers is practicly halved. The thing I think riot really overlooked about the emphasis on scuttle crabs, is especially at as early as they spawned them, there are no efficient jungle routes to pick them up. Anyone who can take the scuttles and counter jungle, will have the biggest difference between themselves and the enemy jungle that there's been since I started playing S4. But considering you're contesting this shit around level TWO, ya... who tf can do that kinda shit on their own without needing their lanes to be doing well so they dont get rotated on.

Except I ping for help on scuttle until I can’t anymore, I get told to go f myself, enemy jungle get scuttle over and over, steam rolls bot and rampages, then I get flamed for not doing anything being 2 levels behind, and they STILL won’t help. That was the story 4 games in a row, the only thing it’s making me want to do is go play hots.
