You're doing it all wrong

7.2... it's not a bad patch but, it's not really a patch. I mean, there were some nice touches, like the akali buff, or the gragas buff, and the nidalee buff was nice, but the jungle nerf. I don't even know where you were going with that. You say that junglers have too much power over the game, but isn't that what they were designed to do? Junglers are supposed to be the chess masters of the game, they control where all the attention goes. There is nothing wrong with the jungle. But there is wrong with the champions. Instead of nerfing the entire jungle and completely making any late game junglers or junglers with low clear speed unviable, why not just nerf the op junglers right now like Lee Sin, Kha'Zix, and Rengar, no point in nerfing the entire jungle. The jungle isn't even the op role right now. If you've even been watching your game a LITTLE, you'd know that the tanks are overpowered as crap, and they need to be nerfed, along with fiora and jayce. Please undo the jungle, and just nerf the op junglers right now, you'd be helping everybody.

The biggest hit was the first-clear EXP nerf. I used to be able to gank at level 4 with double buffs, now I have to do it at level 3. And now the jungle spawns later, meaning my laners either have to give up CS to leash me, or tap it once or twice before racing off to lane. Within 2 changes, the jungle went from the strongest it's ever been, to among the weakest it's ever been.

You think there would have been some kind of compensation, but we got nothing. So now we have Junglers that were already struggling to full-clear, being completely unable to full-clear without backing.

At least nerf the Raptor camp Riot. Junglers like MonkeyKing and Shaco have to completely ignore them on their first run through the jungle, and that's just ridiculous.

While I agree that the jungle nerfs are a bit much for the jungle champions that are not in meta; I disagree with your approach of not touching the jungle camps at all. Junglers are a problem right now and by far the ones that have the most influence on the game especially with how things snowball. It would be fine in theory if they could influence the lanes but having the entire game pretty much be decided by how competent the jungler is simply isn't fun. Jungle gold was buffed, exp was buffed, jungle sustain was buffed and it just ends up being too much.

Now the issue with the non-meta junglers -- it makes a lot more sense to bring the jungle back to what it's supposed to be and then buffing the champions that are struggling or buffing the items (basically everything other than the warrior enchantment). Furthermore; tanks are only a problem due to CotC which was also nerfed this game (albeit I think the nerf should've been different but that's besides the point).

At the end of the day; if you do a full clear of your jungle and somehow are at full health ready to gank your lane with the same gold, level and double buff something is definitely wrong. We can either adjust the jungle or remove the heal that you now receive on EVERY smite + the honey fruit.

akali's buff is about as noticable as when they gave nidalee 5 ad.

tanks are over powered as crap

Oh laaawd! I agree with the other stuff but don't be angry at tanks for being tanky. You know, doin' their job?
