Krugs are ignored because they take too long to split, adding slightly more experience isn't good

Total Krug XP is going from 160 >> 165, with the majority of the experience being moved from the bigger Krug to the smaller Krugs. Riot is trying to incentivize clearing the entire camp however, the real issue is not that the experience isn't worth it, but that it takes so long to clear the entire camp because of the splitting animation that adds valuable seconds on to the killing time.

To fix this issue, all that needs to be done is for the splitting to occur much faster so the camp doesn't take so long. And maybe bring the early game damage down on them because the first clear with Krugs is brutal to almost everyone who tries to kill them.

Its not just the time it takes to clear. The Resources are much more.

For Raptors you can AOE down with one spell.

Crugs takes 3 casts to clear because they are not even there until you kill the first and second wave.

For a auto attack champ with Hydra thats not any more of an issue then raptors. But for a caster Jungler thats huge.

Imagine roasting your freaking player base saying that optimal pathing is the reason junglers in plat+ are down levels. Lmfaooo.

I am completely ignoring Krugs due extreme respawn speed of jungle. If they were add a bit more exp, would make sense to clean them after red buff but still not worth to waste time. Every second matters in jungle. [slayer-jinx-catface]

The longer time to completely kill the champ is the precise reason why it has higher XP. It's meant to be a time intensive camp to kill, and in exchange you get higher gold and XP rewards for it.

+5 exp. -5 movement speed.

SIGH

They should just bring the old krugs back, no splitting bs, just 2 tanky rock dudes, and maybe flip their camp so they are turned to red buff, that way it would actually be time efficient to clear them. Dude just experiment, you have 8 months till worlds, do some whacky shit, being boring clearly isn't working.

The only time Krugs was actually worth a damn back when Buff + Krugs gave level 3.

Nerfing the big krug and adding 5xp to the total is a huge nerf considering you need 280 exp to level 1. They are trying to force us to farm the whole camp which will leave us even further behind. The solution we had already was to just kill the big krug and move on but now they nerf the big krug thanks alot!!! so intead of krug we have to try a gank and gamble on either getting ahead or failing and being behind.

JUST NERF SOLO LANES ALREADY PLS BEST FIX

The pathing doesn't matter for shit because you can clear your entire jungle and still have to sit for ages on your arse while the camps take to respawn.

Played Jax the other day, did a full clear after Tiamat, couldn't farm for shit because you have no fucking camps to farm coz they don't fill back up fast enough. And Jax doesn't even have a fast clear speed. Think of junglers like Amumu or Nunu who clear raptors in seconds it's a fuckign shitshow.

Good to know I'm not the only one who just splits the big one and ignores the camp for the rest of the game.
