I miss being able to use my game knowledge to outplay other junglers

I miss tracking me and my enemies' buffs knowing that applying my knowledge and taking 2 seconds to type timers in chat give me a significant advantage over a jungler who didn't. Now everyone gets free timers and just passing by a buff gives you a minute warning when it's coming back up even if you have no idea when it was killed. I miss being able to glance at the enemy jungler's CS and figuring out which camps he did and use that knowledge to anticipate where he is and where he was going. It's something I was working on. Now every camp counts as 4 CS so it's been removed entirely. I miss the advantage of timing the next drake for my team because it gave all of us an advantage if they didn't. Now everyone gets a free timer regardless of whether they saw it die or not.

I think it's really stupid that the jungle keeps getting dumbed down. You don't have to think about anything but spam ganking. I hate the idea of removing skill expression in return for convenience for the lazy. I'm not quite sure why these changes happened other than for bad players who refuse to actively improve.

You can still do this on every single one of the smaller jungle camps, time them etc.. And you can still outplay u just need to focus more on where he is, and when he cleared in order to track them around the map. Just shifted the focus to where they are instead of what they're doing.

You really cant though. You used to be able to tell what camps he cleared by how much CS he gained since you first/last saw him. Now you can't. Every camp gives 4 CS score

Well they did that because it was not only too telling of what camps hes been doing, and also not an accurate representation of strength for people that DONT know the camps off the top of their head.
