Are damage/squishy junglers out?

I just recently played and the new jungle is tough. I got wrecked and I think that having only 2 hp pots to start out with is steep if you're playing a damagey/squishy jungler. Anyone elses thoughts?

What camp did you start at?

red

Start at the golems near red instead and smite them for the stun procs. Starting at the frog thingy and heading blue is best though because your smite will be up again for red and will heal you a decent amount.

Are you able to start at frog/toad -> blue -> red without dying? Potentially you could do so, b, then get back to wraiths for detector smite and run a gank right after.

Basically I think squishies are still going to be great but that it will take time for people to learn the new methods in which you must use to effectively utilize your strengths.

Additionally, You may wish to look at a utility based set of masteries for the extra HP/Mana obtained from biscuits. I find the utility masteries to be especially useful for melee champs where a single mastery point in bandit will garner upwards of 300gold in a round.

Basically, the new camps hit too hard and the new items don't replace enough HP so you just get rocked.

Dunno. Main jungle but I've been playing ADC/Support recently... it's going to be an interesting time with junglers for a little while.

I'm only silver 3 so I'm probably not very credible but imo if you're a squishy jungle you should be looking to clear 1-2 camps and then ganking. That way you can potentially pick up some gold and go back to buy a couple items and pots to help make jungling easier

start gromp and smite early for the thorns passive. makes early clear much easier. second smite can be on red for a big boost of health to gank or you can do blue and recall.
