Because right now there is no opportunity cost between clearing your camps and ganking, the jungler clears their camps and then for a couple minutes there's LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO BUT GO CAMP A LANE. What ever happened to the trade-off of being a farming jungler and not ganking early game, or being a ganking jungler and risking falling behind if your ganks are unsuccessful and the enemy jungler is farming more than you?
Maybe rito can also increase smite CD a little in the early game as well.
Nice name
As long we don’t get season 6 jungle I’m fine with it
I understand why you want that but there are very real tradeoffs. For example, with fast respawns, you make counterjungling less effective. Counterjungling isn't that strong right now, so you'd basically be eliminating it as a jungler strategy. Likewise, farm-heavy jungling is the worst jungling meta, so it's risky doing something that might shift the meta in a bad way.
There's an opportunity, of ganking between cleaning camps, you just need a jungle path, and an strategy for that. All depends of the jungle you have, the enemy jungle and your team mates. Play jungle is hard because of that, don't think that take a flash from the enemy is an useless gank, because it will let you a chance to gank again if he is pushing. You need to "Smell" the ganks, not just ganking because you want...wait an opportunity and use your mind to recreate how will it work. Take a look at Peanut when he was in SKT, everytime he ganked, he get a flash or a kill. You don't need to gank each 2 minutes, meaby you won't til minute 8/10 but in that gank you will probably get a kill, for sure.
I mostly agree with you, but...you've cleared out the jungle (which most junglers don't even fully do, because Krugs are way over in the Twisted goddamn Treeline and nobody has time for a goddamn Odyssey to get to them followed by a Trojan War to clear then). You can now
The problem isn't that there isn't an opportunity cost for ganking, the problem is that the reward for ganking is too high. Usually a summoner + a kill if it's well executed (which is easier than ever with how hard it is to be tanky and how much burst the game has now), heavy tower damage with the threat of first tower if the jungler doesn't answer or the laner doesn't tp (which can often be punished with a second gank) and a huge gold and xp advantage along with wave control if the wave is managed properly, which can just completely shut a solo laner out of the game. Ganking is too easy and consistent, and farming is too painful and not rewarding enough.
And I say this as a long time jungle main (though less so than I used to be).
