Why Is First Scuttles Health Sometimes 800 And Sometimes 1060?

Anyone else noticed this? I've known about it for over a year but always ignored it. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it at all, there's no consistency in which champ I play, how long into the game it is, or which side of the map I'm on, Scuttles just seems to randomly have 800 or 1060 health for some reason. Am I missing something?

This is how it happens

A laner kills a jungle camp and gets to lane and a few minions die making him level 2 BEFORE scuttle spawns, this raises the average level in the game slightly and makes scuttle spawn with more HP, however it's because it's a higher level now (with jungles weird level system) so the good news is it will give a little more exp than the 800 hp one

All jungle camps level based on the max level in game (just like drake, harold, and baron)

i think the more times the scuttle is slained the tankier it gets

Found this in the League wiki, idk if this guy is right or wrong but it's possible.

I always though it was by time, if I get 2 camps and then scout he is 800 but if I do 3 camps and then scout is 1060

Are you sure you didn't miss your opponent killing one?

Honestly to remove the inconsistency in the game, a good idea would be to set the scuttle's minimum level to 3, and then to adjust it's HP growths accordingly, thereby always giving it a consistent first spawn hp.
