Is Riot trying to get rid of assassin junglers?

I typically play Rengar and farming early game is difficult when you don't have smite up. In the new patch however, they're taking away the 15 sec CDR to smite when you have item 3713 which means that farming as squishy champion is a lot harder early game. Are they trying to make tanky junglers the only thing now?

Meh, the game may sway that way, but it won't stick. For the past season assassin junglers have been completely dominating the jungle, and personally I think rito and the fans both like to see these high burst champs in competitive play.

Assassin junglers are meant to be gank oriented in the new jungle. Don't expect to farm your entire jungle often.
You've got to gank, and you've got to gank well. You can't just fail a gank, go farm a couple of camps, and return mid to camp for a while.
