Suggestion to a more linear jungling meta (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Given the power of early game invades on early champs with certain items, I'd like the propose a few changes that could change the flow of invading and clearing camps.
's E: Blood Scent: Increasing the early game cooldown from 4 seconds to 20 seconds and making the cooldown lower for every level you spend on it and having a small mana cost early game of 20, but have it ramp up drastically later (ex. 20-25, 25-25, 25-45, 45-60, etc)
's E: Counter Strike: Increasing early game mana cost and slightly ramping up the cooldown time early game, along with a slight nerf to the minimum physical damage it does early game (ex. 50-45 at lvl 1, 75-65, etc.)
's E: Bear Stance: Slightly buffing the movement speed duration and making the stun on his E a little longer, as Udyr's early game can be a little weak in some aspects if you don't go for a Tiger stance ability path or utilize your R a lot.
's E: Demacian Standard: Making the cooldown time longer and lowering the AP scaling from .8 to .5-.6 ish.
's Q: Taste Their Fear: Increase base damage and slightly increasing the mana cost from 20 to 35.
's Q and W: Duskbringer and Shroud of Darkness: Cooldown lowered on both abilities and a buff to Duckbringer's early game damage, along with lowering its late game mana cost.
and its upgraded variants,
,
,and
. Increasing its life steal on the machete to 10% and increase the life steal on its upgraded variants to 12%. I know this is going to be addressed soon, but the XP bonus should be even higher, which will encourage invading and farming for levels.
I'd also like to present the idea of a boots called the "Scavenger's Boots". It will give +25 movement speed, but will grant +75 movement speed along with slightly increased mana and health regen when you are in the jungle and river.
Please note these are only my ideas and that this is a work in progress thread. I'll be regularly updating this with suggestions from you guys and adding more of my own thoughts. Feel free to leave your feedback and your changes and I'll consider adding them to this.
Given the negativity received on the forum previously and elsewhere, I will not be updating this thread in the near future unless there is a significant demand for a certain change that people want in the game. Along with that, I will be taking a short break from posting in detailed threads like this as my analysis have been severly criticized time and time again from the same person with multiple accounts, kind of like a bot. Hope you understand and hopefully, I will return to posting content like this in a few weeks' time.
