The removed of smite buffs really hurt tank junglers...

Can you do something Rito? The gromp buff made clearing the jungle on tank junglers pretty manageable but now that it got removed clearing the jungle is super painful and I'm getting invaded by Lee Sins as a result. Also, with the removal of SoTA, cinderhulk effectively got a nerfed in terms of the mid game stats it gives, it's not even really worth building anymore as a jungle tank - I'd much rather rush a sunfire cape. Look into this please!

To me tanks feel stronger in this jungle. Before tanks were very weak early game clearing but now with smite changes and the honeyfruit they can stay pretty healthy and heal most of the damage.

What I'd recommend doing is not smite the starting camp, and save smite for the last or hardest camp for you solo, this way you heal off all the jungle damage during your clear rather than just the little damage you took at leash.

Getting invaded by lee isn't an issue for tanks. Lee in general is an issue since his shield buff. If it wasn't for skill cap he's pretty up there with zac and hecarim in being way too strong.

I do think Jungle Mudno got hit really hard by this patch. He lost SotA and Oppressor and he can't use CoC. His winrate dropped from 52% to 47%. That's a huge dip.
