Does anyone else think that the jungle has become slower paced and boring since preseason 5

I use to main jungle but ever since the recent changes to the jungle I no longer enjoy playing that role. With the monsters taking longer to respawn I feel that if all the lanes are pushed there is nothing you can really do besides counter jungle or go back to base. With certain champs counter jungling becomes dangerous so you are forced to go back to base. I miss how you could previously continue to farm. Does anyone else feel this way? Sorry I am new to the boards so I hope I posted this in the right spot.

You miss just farming the jungle all day, but say the new Jungle is boring. Huh.

Learn how to lane gank. No, I did not say gank a lane, I mean ganking through the lane, not from the river. It's really simple, if you have significant CC (especially a displacement) and a lane is pushed way up, come through the lane, into the bushes, and wait for the lane to reset because of the tower. Assuming the lane was pushed because your laner in question is good at bullying, the opponent laner is probably going to have a significant amount of health missing. One strong engage, and they are dead. That's how you gank a pushed lane.

I agree what lets say that your laner isnt bullying and still pushing the lane its a lot harder to do. If the top laner is a tank and your blue side it will be hard to gank either of those lanes do to how the map is set up and the top being a tank. Im not saying that the jungling now isnt balanced I just find it boring compared to before.
