The scuttler changes are bad.

The thing about the scuttler was that it provided good early sustain between the jungle camps.

The idea behind this change was nice at first. Less conflict early in the game that forced laners to help secure scuttler....

But level 2 gankers STILL gank at level 2 right after the red buff.

This puts level 3 gankers at an extreme disadvantage here...

Because killing the scuttler healed you naturally from 50% health due to being a non-damaging camp... This allowed for a generally healthy clear. Going for red > scuttler > krugs you would come out with 85% health and be ready for a gank.

With the scuttler changes now i am forced to do 3-4 camps without any sustain camp... i end up with 30% health after the clear and only then i am level 3... no way you can gank this way.

This change favored level 2 fighters alot and puts level 3 fighters at extreme disadvantage. All in all, jungling feels crappy right now..

Riot putting in all this effort to stop lv 2 red ganks when all they need to do is make small camps spawn first, then 15 seconds later buff camps kick in.

I really hope they change scuttler back to. it messes up jungle routes and together with the Tiamat changes from some time ago makes jungle really hard to play with some champs. All they need to do is just change it back.
