Is this a joke? Do you actually want people to do Raptors?

https://puu.sh/spYdz/6e02490221.png They already absolutely MAUL anyone without strong AoE Why on earth are you reducing the exp without making little raptors weaker? Look at this: (1:56) https://youtu.be/F3zDQaoW-To?t=116 Jensen goes in to do raptors at FULL health, he then loses over half his hp to the raptors and becomes a free kill for Zed This is absurd

That's exactly why they're shifting the reward. So that people who get mauled by the raptors can do krugs and it'll be worth their time to do so.

I just kinda skip raptors early game now tbh, or occasionally drop by and take a small one here and there. it isn't worth the time and HP to take them unless it's late enough into the game that I can take them without issue,

It's strong for AoE junglers. Simple as that.

He targeted the big one without smiting it, letting all the small ones destroy him. Even good players can be a little bronze sometimes.

Find a video of someone taking the raptors correctly (killing the small ones first or using smite on the big one) and compare. You don't lose nearly as much health when you aren't just sitting there clicking the big one as if the small ones don't deal damage.

I mean new raptors if you are single target clear, you clear all the small ones first one by one, and I normally end up with like only 1 quarter of my hp gone

Midlaners are fine with the free donation though ;)

The Yetii Rider11/22/2016, 4:21:08 AM3 votes

I mean, most of raptors XP goes to mid laners anyway over the course of the game. Makes sense to take XP away from the most poached camp.

yea ima skip that, specially with fiddle

i leave my raptors for the poor fool who invades my jungle = free kill.

So, I understand that they decreased the xp gained significantly, but how does this make the camp more difficult to clear, rather than making it less rewarding ? (I can't jungle for shit)

I'm noticing how all of the comments that tell people to adapt to the new jungle have a downvote. Somebody doesn't like change.

DemainaNyx11/22/2016, 5:53:16 AM2 votes

It's like people trying to do dragon at level 3. Yeah, some people/champions can do it, but it's way easier to wait since it does a ton of damage. And it's even easier if multiple people help you.

Of course more attacks equal more damage done. So either save smite for the heal off that camp, or do the smart thing and clear the mini raptors first. Yeah, this camp is going to take a lot of health off your regardless, but if you take out the small ones that take like 3 hits to dispatch, you'll remove one of the sources of damage and thus lessen the damage you take as you take that camp.

IIRC, they do about the same damage as a lane minion does. People know not to fight the enemy in their minions cause that minion damage adds up, slowly, but it's still there. That's why you try to have more minions or an equal number on your side before you fight.

Skip?

They want to force people to Krugs on the first clear for some reason. They're simply too far out of the way though.

GemCrash11/22/2016, 8:03:51 AM2 votes

skit raptors and invade, new jungle route.

Shadow Hazard11/21/2016, 9:55:41 PM2 votes

And buffing machete's damage until it is broken on every jungler isn't going to be the answer

Zelorxon11/23/2016, 6:49:12 PM1 votes

Aight, besides you having no clue how to farm the jungle, and apparently neither does jensen, when you're single target you're supposed to kill the small ones first, this is true for every camp, and regarding raptors, i do the smallems first even if i'm aoe (graves,shyvana...)

Now that we clarified this doubt, i think the exp change was about something reaching lv2 and more exp starting raptors, which is interesting but i never had the chance to try it, i might inform myself better but i remember something about that, with this post, what is your objective by the way?

I need to test also how this change turns out, because i don't want this could turn to be an issue in case you need to ignore krugs for a while...
