I dont like how i need a crap ton of aoe damage to not get more than half my hp taken from taking this camp If your a single target champion you literally cant take these unless you want to lose a lot of hp.

No, because I am Toronto Raptors fan.

The lil ankle-biters hurt a hell of a lot more than they need to, that is for sure.

Yeah, they definitely reinforced with the jungle changes that to be a jungler, you need AoE or you're set back a bunch early just by nature of you having no AoE. If your opponent has AoE, they can just come take your AoE camps from you with no contest cuz you don't take them.

Meddler hinted at it on the newest video on Riots youtube, he was talking about how there will still be some changes done to league before (maybe after) the holidays, while he said that there was just a shot of the raptor camp, implying changes

Yeah, they added more raptors and made each one stronger too.

i lost 50% of my hp on any jungler even after smiting the large raptor. like wtf. the smaller raptors are tankier than the old ones and they do even more damage

Fuck jungle item rush thornmail.

Problem solved? Maybe not. Raptors got really annoying this season.

Are you the type of guy who rushes a damage item instead of item 3706 item 3711 item 3715 ?

If you mean item 3077 over those, then that's an actually a good decision. Unless you're AP, of course.

If they did less damage (but still were moderately tanky), it'd make a lot of junglers more viable. Alternatively, what if killing the big raptor made the small raptors weaker? Kinda like how super minion buffs nearby minions.

Okay so funny story, I was invading the jg as Yorick, the enemy jg was Jax, He just finished red and was backing in the bush. I didn't see him, so i decided to take raptors, He jumps out and kills me, Raptors aggro on him, he just gets straight merced by my Maiden and the Raptors, It was great.

Sure. If they also cut their EXP by half.

Seriously on some junglers I just skip that camp on my first clear. They aren't worth half my health. They need to have their damage reduced.

I honestly don't understand people's complaints with raptors, you have 6 mini raptors and 1 big raptor dealing dmg to you, I don't know the exact dmges, but I'm assuming both mini and big raptor deal the same dmg. If you are focusing the big raptor first you're doing it wrong as a single dmg jungler, you should focus the most outer small raptor first as you can buy even a few miliseconds worth of dmg from the other small raptors to come and start damaging you, then you clear the rest of the small raptors and then the big one and BAM not even half hp gone.

Raptors have always been a high damage camp. For some reason not everyone tackles the camp properly. Always kill the small chickens first, then save the ultra mega chicken for for last. The DPS on the little raptors is about 85% of the DPS of the big one, and there are more of them, and they die in a fraction of the time. Theyre glass cannons. Smash them ASAP, then move on to the big one.

Most junglers that have trouble with them should get the Gromp buff and start on that side to help deal with them if they somehow cant do any AoE damage.
