Where is the rule Nerf Step by Step ?

You Never want to buff . But when comes to Nerfs you just cuttin / smashin and nerfing to the ground . Instead of STEP BY STEP NERF.

When ever you buff something . It's never huge.

Cinder Hulk now cost 2250 Less HP Gromp buff just nerfed by half...

Step by step nerfing is only valid for Lee Sin and Zed.

Edit: And Nidalee.

Cinderhulk was cheaper than other enchants (1350g vs 1400g). Gromp probably didn't need to "reflect" that much damage.

I'm all for tanks dealing damage, but Gromp's buff doesn't add any gameplay and it doesn't have any positional requirement.

The gameplay as far as I could tell was "don't attack the tank"

In what way were they nerfed into the ground? Cinderhulk is still excellent and scales fine, gromp buff is still good, just not as insanely powerful as it was. Cinderhulk was just too efficient as it was, now it's a bit more in line with the other jungle enchants.

I just read the patch notes. I didn't even notice the gromp nerf in any of the updates. When the fuck did this happen?? You cut the damage scaling in half, are you serious Riot?

I guess I can stop my countdown, you didn't like tanks appearing in the LC$, so you are slowly removing them from viability again to make room for more flashy playmakers because you apparently want to promote "counterplay."

Let me ask you something Riot, when was the last time you gave a shit about counterplay? I'm legitimately curious to find out, because there are more pressing matters that should have been attended to before this.

To be fair, the patch notes are absolutely correct, Gromp's reflection damage was insane, especially late game.

Every jungler Tries to clear gromp before Ganking. this is just more of Riot trying to make Jungle Not fun and Ganks harder than they need to be.

Suppose Bot and Mid are doing really bad, Jungle just does not have the tools to carry either of these lanes anymore.

At this rate just stop calling them Junglers, they are now Support #2.
