Ok i feel really stressed right now. The new jungle items really really SUCK!!!! They barely do any damages to the monsters and make the whole jungle things very stressful. I realized that I had to change my mastery page from 21/9/0 to 9/21/0 or else I won't be able to clear the jungle without dying. Especially the new jungle items don't even heal you at all which force you to buy a lot of health and mana potions each time when you recall. RIOT please stop messing with the jungle, these problem occur again and again in season 2 season 3 season 4 and now season 5. I am really tired of these same problems.

You pretty much have to accept that you're going to have to back unless you have heavy built in sustain.

Just do Gromp/Rockbros, Buff, Camp, Camp, Recall(buy jungle item + pots), straight to buff, camp.

That's pretty much how non-sustain champions have to jungle now.

I think you didn't play previous seasons. These are the same problems from last season again and again. They did the same thing to the jungle. They buffed the monsters way too much which the new jg items couldn't keep up with the damage especially if you play a non-sustain champion like wukong or pantheon. Then they began to buff the jungle items and then they also began to Nerf the monsters. Basically, Riot is just messing around in circle every time when a new season start!!!

I like the new jungle items. One problem I had with jungling before is teammates not helping on gank or expecting you to 1v1 with someone who has bough armor or damage and you have a thing that does nothing vs champs. I think its easier to get something now that makes a difference. I love that the feral flare type one doesnt require 30 stacks before it isn't complete crap.

I miss the sustain though. I normally play jungle with AS heroes and invested in AS runes and now that machete is based on time instead of AS my sustain is much worse. And have horrible mana issues as well. It seems to me that there could be a trade off and make part of machete heal time based and part on hit like before so there is more reason to go AS champs. But the AS jungle item and true damage smite on champs is nice so maybe that is good enough.
