I really miss the old Spirit of the Elder Lizard

Speaking of the new jungle enchantment that recently arrived to PBE; I really miss the old Spirit of the Elder Lizard item. I don't like the current Warrior enchantment at all. Yes, it has armor penetration and 10 more AD, but Spirit of the Elder Lizard used to have a passive that could burn your opponents for true damage each time you hit them with physical damage. It even used to work with all types of damage until they changed that during the early season 4 to only work with physical damage. Still, that true damage was really useful against tanky targets. Also, it alongside the old Spirit Stone stats made clearing the jungle very easy.

I was pretty disappointed with the new Warrior enchantment. It is good for early game, but falls off so hard late game. If it at least had the old Spirit of the Elder Lizard passive, it wouldn't fall off so hard. It is not useful at all against tanky targets, since the armor penetration is flat and is on a small amount. Because of these reasons, I don't like using AD junglers. Sometimes I use AD junglers such as Vi, Master Yi, Nocturne, Hecarim, and Kha'Zix. However, I build either Devourer or Cinderhulk for them, instead of Warrior - with the exception of Kha'Zix, though I prefer to use him in lane instead of jungle.

I really think that Riot could introduce another item with a true damage passive, even if that item wasn't jungle exclusive. What do you think about that?

I kinda suggested putting the Burn passive on Warrior. With the changes to Cinderhulk and now RuneGlaive Warrior will become the only Jungle item without an Interesting Passive. Regardless of whether Warrior is OP or UP, it just kinda boring.

yea, the truedmg really gave it a unique feeling. the brutalizer jungle thing does work well, but it doesn´t feel good in comparision.

I would love for the Lizard effect to come back

Even better if your Physical Damage and Autos burst around you, applying the DoT

So like a mix of Lizard and Tiamat
