This new Jungle.
: now gets 15 exp in place of it's bonus gold. 8% LS against monsters, and 20 damage on hit vs. monsters. now just 350 gold.
Hunters Talisman: 150% mana regen when in jungle, steals 20 HP over 5 seconds. 15 bonus exp.
: As far as I can tell. combineds the two passive tooth and nail. (thought that may be only for the tracker's knife, I'm not sure. offering 30 exp on large monster kill.
All jungle camps have been reduced by 10 exp.
Everything said and done. This may hurt slightly, Junglers who are more item reliant. but over all, favoring exp bonuses are probably better for Junglers. Getting ahead in levels is an Immediate advantage a Jungler can use. while gold advantages would require you to back often to cash in the bonus. So this change will probably speed up the Jungling process. (actually, jungle monsters got their gold reward increased in response.)
I would expect Early Junglers to make a comeback. Definitely more options. I do see the upgrades becoming more expensive though. Also the BotRK nerf will hit Devourer Junglers. It also looks as if Jungle monsters have been nerfed as a whole so I expect easier clears.
