is it just me or does the jungle give way less gold?

Seriously in season 5 when playing hecarim I could have my cinderhulk, mobi boots, and 2 items for my triforce (or the whole thing if I got a kill early) by the 20 minute mark, now tho I can barely afford my 1st triforce component

Seriously I feel like I'm getting outpaced super hard when I play hecarim this season, people are hitting there power spikes faster then me, and I feel so much squished all game (I've gone 18/0/12 and 12/0/18)

Am I doing something wrong or is jungle hecarim just not favored in the meta right now?

Not favored in the meta (I guess) as he was pretty weak when I played him (Then again I suck with him.) In the update, jungle monsters give more gold for less exp, the difference is is that the starter jungle items don't give bonus gold.

In theory the jungle should givbe the same gold as most of the gold from the items was given onto the mobs.

If you get less gold that probably means your farm is slower and your ganks are worse.

The new starting items are weaker making the start slower on a lot of Junglers, so that's probably a large factor.

Also you need to farm more to get the jungle item together delaying you even further.

Not all the missing gold was returned, it's about 150 of the initial clear an only gets worse as they gain lvls

New meta shifting to a duo top/mid?

it gives the same gold as before, and that is exactly the problem. item costs where increaesed across the board, goldgain was increased across the board, exept for jungle.
