@Riot, anything planned to help the junglers who struggle clearing in the new jungle?

I don't know if it's just me, but I've been seeing that the new jungle changes have made it a hard time for champions who have bad clears early or are more or less AA reliant and no AOE abilities. I remember I first brought out Nidalee when the changes came through, thinking that she would be great but nope I died trying to kill raptors! Then I was like oh....they nerfed her clear abilities twice last season, no wonder with these new changes she would have a hard time. And note- I take AD marks on her to help her clearing. Still didn't help much.

Another game I tried Evelynn who is extremely AA reliant besides spamming Q for early clearing, and had a very hard time too. So since those are my favorite two junglers I decided to leave the jungle alone for now and play other roles, and so far I've seen most of the junglers in my games have great clearing abilities- LeeSin , MasterYi ,Graves , Khazix, Rengar and so forth with an occasional different champ.

So, just wandering, is there anything out there planned to help those junglers who aren't fairing well in this new jungle? Maybe a new jungle item, buffs to clearing abilities or nerfs to camps? Just throwing some ideas out there.

I appreciate any response, thank you!

Yeah, I don't feel comfortable playing my boy Warwick with the new jungle because of the fact his clear is so ridiculously slow early on. Would be nice to see some kind of a change that would make slower clear junglers or junglers with no AOE abilities some love back.

I gave up on Nidalee because she was too strong in High ELO and was appropriately nerfed to be unplayable for mechanically challenged players. I still play her as a healing support against bots.

Helped leash an Evelynn at Wolves last night as Morgana. Watched her almost die... to wolves... with help...

Why would you leash on wolves? Start on red or blue

Many jungle champs need to kite and let abilities come off cooldown as the majority of their damage, especially on first clear. Scrubs will always fail with nidalee when they just stand there to eat all the attacks while simply autoing back

I was at Blue but Evelynn was hovering by wolves so that's where we started. I'm sure she would have gone Blue if our Top Lane had connected and I wasn't the Mid laner. My surprise is that I have tanked the wolf camp as Evelynn without a leash and did not have that issue before.

Nidalee... well, she isn't as durable as Evelynn. I eventually figured out the whole Spear, Change, Maul, Change, Kite with AA before Spear again. But they kept changing her kit around and the jungle around that I won't pretend to know how Nidalee works in the jungle now. Does she still have her AA reset? Does her traps still root camps? Sure, I could go look it up but I don't have a whole lot of interest forcing Nidalee to work for me. There are easier junglers that serve the team in ways that better match my mentality than Nidalee. Trade some raw damage for CC and I might think about it.
