I feel like this jungle change made junglers even more important than before

...but in a bad way. Introducing that RNG snowball gimmick was a terrible idea, and I'll explain why.

If your jungler doesn't pick a lv 2 duelist then laning phase is doomed. I think that anyone who has played at least one game after 8.10 can agree with me. Basically, one of the two junglers will lose the first scuttle based off how strong his champion is at early levels and in small skirmishes or duels; that means that one of those junglers that successfully got the first scuttle has a HUGE gold and XP advantage and can snowball lanes, whereas the other one will be 1 level behind and in need of experience and gold.

What I'm trying to say is that whoever gets the first scuttle also gets early ganks and has the possibility to snowball the game while the other team is automatically set behind just because their jungler lost a camp. Is this good? In my opinion, it's not good and it's just another way to make pro games exciting at the cost of SoloQ enjoyment. It's sad that either I'm lucky enough and my jungler is good, so he gets the first scuttle, or I'm unlucky and he misses it so I'm sure that I won't get any help for 3 more minutes.

I've heard jungler's word it the other way where it makes bully lane picks more important because they can roam and collapse quicker. However, yeah, I think it's way too important of an 'objective' right now.
