Jungle mobs need nerfs in damage or something

Being a player who's secondary role is jungle. I think that the jungle mobs need a nerf in damage or increase the sustain you get from hunters machete...A lot of junglers (for example elise and rengar) have a really hard time in the new jungler..if you don't have any good innate sustain you will have to recall as soon as you get your first buff and thats just not right.

I want to jungle..but with the way it is now...theres no point...i'll get executed 3 times in the first 5 minutes unless i play someone like aatrox or warwick. New junglers will be turned away with how stupidly unforgiving it is as well

Easy Jungling:

Always start in the Krugs camp. Smite the ancient Krug and get a leash if you can. Krug's bonus will stun and deal bonus damage with every 5 attacks which can greatly improve your sustain if the big monster is being stunned every 5-8 seconds.

Be wary of which point you spend at spawn. Dumping a point into Fiora's Q, Lunge, might not be as effective with Krugs buff as her E, which raises attack speed by a huge margin, might be.

Always kill the big monster first. Machete regen passive remains active even when you're fighting the little monsters. Take out the big guy to mitigate a lot of the damage and allow your Machete passive to spool up a bit while you fight the little guys.

NEVER FIGHT THE RAZORBEAKS.

It's just not worth it. Unless you're a jungler with crazy fast clearing speed, you're going to have at least 2 camps up, one of them being Razorbeaks. Fighting a high damage monster with 3 other high damage little monsters just isn't worth it unless you are stupid tanky.

Monster Order: Krugs > Red > Blue > Gromp > Murkwolves. Rift scuttler is also worth taking down once you get devourer enchantment, considering it is classed as a Large Monster.

Machete should cost less. Need 3 pots (at least) not 2.

there is a narrow list of junglers than excel and you will be harshly punished if you deviate from that group

Elise does fine but its easy to mess up. Same for Rengar. Evelynn...evelynn is a trick.

Razorbacks are not that bad, You just need to kill the camp in a different order then what people are used to.

Kill the small ones first then the biggie. The little ones do way more damage then the large one.

One way they can make the jungle harder without making the machete regen. negligible is by lowering the damage slightly and increasing the HP of monsters.

gromp > blue > wolves -> recall, upg smite and max potions -> red -> razorbeak (smite for vision buff) -> gank

thats how you jungle now, get used to it.
