Dear Riot, please give me back my gold

I am a jungle main, and recently I've been playing a bunch of mid and bot lane because the S6 jungle nerfs are simply to harsh.

All the items got increased in cost, even jungle items. However Riot removed the 30g from the jungle items per camp kill, which was put on as a result of 30g being removed from the camps, 30g is in no way = to 30 exp, especially when you consider that every item in a junglers build path is more expensive and we were already making less than laners before the preseason.

Junglers are making 22-24 less gold per camp kill than in the past, and this hurts so much, while laners get increased gold from early minions, I wanna play jungle so bad and maybe even try out this new ranked system since the worst part of ranked is been nerfed. However I just can't knowing my champions are getting 22-24 less gold per camps, if I clear my jungle once that's over 130g. Clear it 6 times that'd over 800g lost. It's really making this game a lot less fun when every pre-season junglers just get the biggest nerf. It's like Riot is trying to force a meta where duo top is a viable option.

I would really appreciate so much if junglers could just not get shit on in season 6 patches, please give back the 22-24 gold.

I think that for the risks a jungler has to take, plus the fact you are also behind in experience they should add some gold back. Also they should nerf a bit those champs that already thrive in the jungle, so that they get a more -average- experience.

A long time back Riot originally didn't want Jungle to be viable, but that's irrelevant. To me, the biggest problem isn't income- The biggest problem is trying to live at early levels. There is not enough regeneration to go around on the items that keeps you high enough to be safe in the jungle against, I dunno, Lee Sin, or some other counter jungler.

Read the patches notes; gold was increased on camps, were made easier to clear and junglers passively get the equivalent of two GP5 items for free after 12 minutes.
