Remembering when a full clear was an option

I remember when full clearing your jungle used to be an option. Man those were the days. Not saying I usually did a full early clear, but there was the option to do so if you chose to. Sadly those days are gone. Yea I can go watch streamers such as IWDominate play jungle. Generally he gets some nice clears in. Maybe a gank or 2 by 6-7 mins depending on the game. Hell sometimes he won't have more than like 1 assist before 10 mins. Damn do I envy that. I envy having jungle options. I envy not having to gank by level 3 to have a fighting chance. Hell I miss not having the option to gank by level 3 because the enemy might actually ward. I miss having to think in the jungle and throughout the game.

Now I just sit desperately trying to gank as much as possible because even starting a jungle camp pretty much = teammate starting a fight they cannot win or about to be ganked and you need to be there. I guess it does work out if you get a successful gank and then just force yourself to do a camp or two even knowing another lane is about to die.

Sigh. I miss having jungle options. I thought part of the nerf to jungle was to allow for more junglers and to relieve early gank pressure? Well.... it completely back fired in low elo. Maybe its working in high elo as intended but sadly low elo didn't get the memo. Jungling has literally become who can get a few gank kills first. There really isn't much strategy after that. And just spamming meta junglers.

I also miss mid to late game metas rather than the early game meta we currently have as it really compounds this problem in low elo.
