[POLL] Do you support the Rift Scuttler changes?

OK Riot I love you, but from what I have seen, many people have criticized the Rift Scuttler changes. Personally, I am not against it or for it. But I have yet to see anyone view it positively, much less eagerly embrace it.

Therefore, if anyone can give a reason for this change, I will greatly appreciate it. I would really, really like a Rioter responsible for this change to give their perspective on it. If this post goes unnoticed, or the Rioter simply decided to keep silent in fears of being hated on, I would instead appreciate someone who is knowledgable on this game to analyze what the Rift Scuttler change was supposed to achieve.

Please be respectful and please do not bombard people who do like this change with negative comments/downvotes (unless their reply is poorly written). I am legitimately interested in this matter, and flaming people with opposing views will discourage them from answering.

The change caused Scuttle to be worth too much. It has far too much sway, and allowing the enemy team to take even one is devastating. I took one from my jungler by mistake and got 131 gold just from it. That is insane. They need to tone it the fuck down. There are enough objectives to fight over without scuttle sucking all of the gold budget out of junglers

No one gave a #### about old scuttle unless maybe they were waiting for drake/baron to spawn. Now I have to fight my own team to claim the darn thing!

Essentially what everyone else is saying, it's worth too much and the primary reason to even make it so big was because nobody ever took scuttle anyways (imo).

I support scuttle being a bit more rewarding to kill (man it used to be a pain to kill if you don't have hard cc), but I think I speak for everyone when I say that riot took it way over the top.

Arguably one of the worst parts about this patch was the fact that jungle camps were nerfed so much, making junglers with a weak clear even weaker. You can't even get lvl 4 doing 5 camps plus scuttle, avoiding Krugs (pretty sure they're still a waste of time, Rito fix this if anything).
