My thoughts about 10/19 PBE Update: Jungle
http://www.surrenderat20.net/2016/10/1019-pbe-update.html
Note that I won't talk about everything
Smite -Recharge rate increased to a charge every 90 seconds from every 75 seconds -Ammo charge starts at 1:40 instead of 1:25 into a game. -Additional buffs for using Smite on camps removed.
So that means we won't be able to use smite on our #1 and #3 camp anymore. And it starts recharging later?! Won't it make jungling harder for new players? Also less smiting during game if it takes more time to recharge.
Itemization
Hunter's Machete [img]
-On hit damage increased to 20 from 15 -Lifesteal increased to 10% from 8%
[Tier 2 jungle items] [img]
-On hit damage increased to 25 from 20
It's some kind of recompensation for the smite changes above right? Well, it sure will help aa based junglers.
CAMPS General
- Camp respawn timers increased to 150 seconds from 100 seconds.
Sooo... we have to wait almost additional minute for our camps to respawn? I'm not sure but that seem to hurt junglers that need lvl6 asap a lot.
Blue Sentinel -No longer has smaller monsters -Now has negative MR
Gromp -No longer poisons -Now gets a 100% attack speed boost at the beginning of the fight, decaying over 5 attacks. -Spawns 15 seconds later than other camps.
Krug -Large and normal Krugs now split into more Krugs on death. ---Large Krug turns into two normal Krugs ---Normal Krug splits into two mini Krugs ---Mini Krugs don not split. -Total Krug camp reward increased to about 150% of other camps -Large Krugs are resistant to basic attacks but are much slower than other cames. -Spawns 15 seconds later than other camps.
Raptors -Two additional small raptors added, there are now a total of five small raptors.
Red Brambleback -No longer has smaller monsters -Now has negative armor.
I will start with things that bug me the most: Krugs and Gromp spawns 15s later than others! You know what that means? That if you want your laners to help you thay will have to wait 15s more! That's a lot! I honestly start to think that we will start with Blue/Red now with a leash now. But lets say you won't and will do Krugs first. How am I supposed to kill Large Krug as AA Jungler if he's resistant to basic attacks? Pls tell me. Also there are more Raptors now? Ok, we know that they already deal some nice dmg during first clear, and now it's multiplied? I predict even more executions during #1 clear in s7.
That's all I wanted to mention. I won't talk about plants and buffs removal. Hate these ideas. What is your opinion on these Jungle changes?
