Jungle is hell already, why the nerf?

Before patch 5.2 i was lucky if i could recall after a couple jungle camps and get my tier 2 item, forget about potions, i often have to wait for the item. NOW its an extra 100g. WTF are you doing riot? people in ranked arent even getting support as 5th pick anymore they are getting jungle, dont you see?? Jungle is too hard, if you get a kill and can afford an item then you deserve that item, so why are you nerfing good players? why are you constantly shitting on junglers? from now on if i have to be forced to jungle as fifth pick in ranked, im probably going to just dodge every time now because you are making it so hard. Junglers are now not only 2-3 levels behind but they now have less core items early game. Watch this mistake snowball out of control where junglers arent going to be 2-3 but rather 3-4 levels behind.... junglers can no longer gank because if they do they put themselves another level behind and another item behind if that person gets away. Junglers are not supports, some junglers carry so why are you forcing such a "support jungle" meta? were going to start seeing this i guarantee it, no more lees no more kha none of that carry crap, if this continues you are going to rewrite the meta, the meta is not for you to decide, its up to the players. I can see now that we are going to see more engage support junglers, i've already seen a leona jungle... these changes are making that kind of thing happen.. nerf the junglers, force them out of the jungle into top lane (lee sin), nerf the items and now its a totally different game. think about that.

As a jungle main I really enjoy the new jungle and the 5.2 changes kinda suck for low sustain jungle rengar kha etc. .. but final jungle upgrade is cheaper. The real problem lies in super high sustain jungles they just got alot strong then the low sustain ones

I'm a jungle main as well, and with small tweaks to rune-page, jungle path, and masteries, getting that extra 100g is not that hard.

If anything this nerfs Junglers that try to build straight Damage early on (for fighting and ganking) like LeeSin because it means that they'll have a hard time getting that money to upgrade on their first clear. Any other jungler that isn't worried about ganking in the first 4 minutes isn't harmed.

I've discovered ways to literally AFK farm till 6 from the start and hit 6 at ~ 6:30 with 1.4k gold in the bank without backing once.

And no, that's not on Warwick or Fiddlesticks or MasterYi

I'm a little scared to try my Rammus jungle with the changes, he relies on the pots too much. He can only usually survive the first 3 camps and then recall for purple smite item and 3 pots, now those 3 pots are going into buying the jungle item. If he can take even 1-2 more camps after first recall, it'd simply be to recall again and buy the pots he needs. >.
