Why haven't ranged junglers been fixed yet?
This is obviously an abuse of game mechanics. Why has this been allowed to go on for so long?

Because A) ranged Junglers aren't dominant
B) It's a GOOD thing, we need more diversity in the Jungle.
C) Ranged Junglers are usually weaker then Melees anyway, (usually in sustain or durability) so it's fine for for them to get a mild buff in game mechanics
D) It's not even abuse of mechanics. the game devs seem to have liked the idea of entire teams juggling turret and Dragon agro, i don't see why they'd be so terribly bothered by everything less then that. Besides, it does take practice and skill to pull off.
E) All of the above are invalid, soft resets got nerfed in patch 5.1 (I tihnk). They let so many things slide, but Jungle Twisted Fate? NO, THIS DEMANDS AN EMERGENCY NERF.

yet they decreased the soft leash reset from 10 to 5 meaning you actually do have to take more damage from the camps. And ranged junglers usually have poor ganks unless your team is well coordinated (they dont work as well in solo que) and can force your top or support into very specific picks. Twisted Fate jungle used by UoL was to play a mind game and allow PoE to counterpick for mid very easily.
It is funny though how at the start of the preseason everyone was all upset how the new jungle lowered diversity and then once more champs found out a way to do it they qq about how the wrong champs are in there.
A. Ranged champs have a considerably slower clear compared to other champs. B. Ranged champs have less CC than many junglers and are much riskier in ganking. C. With the soft reset nerf, ranged champs can't simply kite the camp the entire time because it will hard reset MUCH faster and go to full health within seconds. D. Ranged champs are incredibly squishy, easily counter jungled, ganked, counter ganked and all around are very easy fodder early game.

Sorry, but being able to jungle without anything hitting you is not okay.

Those are so much more difficult to pull off now, especially early game, because the camps will reset completely after 5 soft resets (instead of 10 like it used to be) so ranged junglers are forced to take more damage in order to actually clear a camp. This just changed within the last couple weeks. Not sure what you have experienced but this was literally just changed to combat the issue you are concerned about.
