New jungle destroys champs: news at 11

Master yi, mundo, and other champions of that nature (e.g. massive early damage, extreme clear times) are outright better junglers right now.

Poor rammus can only take a single buff and will die on the second unless he b's first. RIP tanky cc jungles with no damage.

I just played a tanky CC jungler and did MUCH better than I was able to do with a power early damage jungle. <_<

I'm having no issues really. Play Yorick, he wrecks in the jungle right now, if not more than he did before. I solod Baron at 15 minutes with him and only had 3 or 4 items (one of those being boots).

Rammus is still fine, Shyvana is good, Olaf is great, WW obviously...There are plenty of choices so perhaps you are just trying to do the same old same old which isn't the point of the new jungle.

The non-buff camps give temp buffs for smiting, so I might suggest looking closely at those as to where you want to start, etc. MAybe get the double golem one before going to red and the like.

You don't just simply go blue, wolves, "wraiths" (don't remember their name now) then red. Or in reverse, though you can, just not always the best idea for every champ.

solod Baron at 15 min.

This here tells me that you only played the old jungle on the new map.

New jungle, Baron only spawns at 20 mins, and basically noone can solo him at that point.

I had a Lee Sin on the enemy team build BOTRK because he said "Im struggling trying to sustain in the jungle".

To test it I went into the next game as Jayce jungle. With a shit leash (one viktor Q) I managed to clear my blue buff, red buff, and wraiths before backing. After the first back everything was substantially easier and felt like the normal old jungle for me.

...

Yi's early game damage has always been shit. What the crap are you talking about?

I decided to try out the jungle earlier tonight, went with Naut to see how it was. Looked at the camps to see what smite buff would be good for me, decided to go with the Gromp (The frog where the Wight was.) and... I had no problem. Got it with a leash, went to Sentinel (blue) and got it no problem. I will admit, the Brambleback (red) hits like a truck. I'd do two or three camps before trying it. Simply put, with a tank jungle, get the Gromp first on all clears, it combined with the bleed mastery will make your clear times a lot better.
