Can we get the trailblazer smite thing back?

I mean. when you pick a tanky jungler. it doesn't take too long before it becomes worthless to clear camps and its better to gank in lane 24/7. its really hard to clear camps. why was it removed in the first place? it just allows poor junglers and tanky junglers to be viable.

I play Tanky junglers a lot and have never once needed Trailblazer.

Tanky junglers play Bami -> Cinderhulk, so clearing is not an issue.

But I agree that Trailblazer was useful on some champs that were not intended to Jungle if you wanted to Jungle anyway, which was offering more diversity. I think the problem was that the real Junglers were abusing it. Can't remember exactly how, but I think Riot made a post about it.

cinderhulk is ineffiecient. with strength of ages. its practically useless. why not get dead mans plate instead? no reason at all.

What the hell are you talking about?

  • Bami improves you clear time tremendously
  • Cinderhulk has synergy with Strength of the ages, it's probably the best Mastery for Tank Junglers because of that.
  • You can buy Deadman after Bami, before completing Cinderhulk, or whatever build path suits you. Deadman is good, sure. But Cinderhulk too. A tanky jungler should probably build both, anyway.

Removing Trailblazer and mana pots was a big hit to some of the higher mana gated junglers for sure.

Have you tried starting item 1039 instead of item 1041 ? It is generally sufficient on my champs to clean the whole Red side before going to the Blue buff, and then you are good, on the mana issue.

But yes, I miss Trailblazer for the 2nd/3rd clear on some of the slowest Junglers I play.

IT was a big issue for Khazix having it removed who had issues before the removal already

What junglers do you mean specifically? What junglers had clears that were dependant on Trailblazer to be specific?
