Revert Jungle Changes

JC I feel like Riot just makes changes to make changes and it doesn't fix the problems that they say the changes were made for in the first place. I play Jungle, top, and mid. Never have I complained about level 3 jungle ganks. You know why? Because I know how to fucking ward at 2:45. I main jungle in ranked, and my main, Warwick is now even stronger because of this jungle change. So don't think I have a bias. I'm going to get to Plat with him if these changes stay in place. However, playing champs like Kayn, Kindred, Rammus, Evelynn, who I like to play in casual games and situationally in ranked is now completely worthless.

You basically have to play Xin or Warwick or some strong PTA or its gg. Just revert. Braindead top laners who want to shove the wave level 2 without warding deserve to be killed every time by enemy jungle. Nerfing an entire position(or at least class of junglers) because of this isolated situation is dumb. Guess what, that braindead top laner is still dying when I play Warwick btw. Him being level 3 instead of 2 and me being 15 seconds later doesn't matter at all. This only really affects specific class of junglers who cannot challenge scuttle crab and are stuck at level 2 with no chance to countergank to stop me or make an equivalent play elsewhere on the map. Just a brainless change, top is already in a better place with Conquerer. And Jungle is not OP, otherwise you'd see the professionals prioritizing carry junglers at MSI instead of Kai'sa, Rakan, Morgana, Ezreal and junglers drafted to gank bottom (Trundle, Skarner.) This change was uneeded. REVERT.

I don't usually feel strongly about a change but as a mainly jungler playing the crab changes have made the game so unenjoyable. I don't mind the XP changes from the jungle themselves, I agree that they were much too high. However I feel that a small little scuttler should not be made the focus of the game, in its current state it feels like if you don't take the crab and choose to gank instead; you lose. That's just how it is. It feels like this is a push that is not only going to shift the focus to the rivers as I previously mentioned, but push for a select margin of junglers to be good over others just because of their early game ability to fight over the scuttler.

While it's not exactly gamebreaking, I find it extremely frustrating that such a small and ridiculous objective plays such a large role in the current state of the game.
