A thought on the new Jungle

The new jungle is impossibly difficult when playing anything that's not a pure auto attacking jungler. Hunters talisman is immeasurably weaker than machete, and as a result the junglers who use it literally have trouble making it through blue. But champions like rengar, udyr, etc. can power farm with no trouble at all.(they always have, but not while others couldn't at all) The first clear seems to be the only problem, and i honestly can't think of a jungler that is so starved of mana that they need a level 1 jungle item to help with it instead of just starting blue.

Back in the second half of season 4 there was a jungle item called quill coat, and that item solved most of tank junglers (and whatever niche jg you were playings) problems in a way that isn't broken on ad's. It essentially set a guaranteed clear time for those who had it by dealing % max health of monsters based on the monsters attacks, and I feel this is exactly what the new jungle needs on hunters talisman.

By doing this the clear speeds on people who already clear fast doesn't speed up by too much, and gives others some room to breath while opening up for more non-meta jungles.

Thank you for reading and I hope riot does at least something to help out tank and ap jungles.
