possible solution to prevent early jungler oppression without ruining the jungle

RIOT has mentioned before that they believe that early junglers are oppressive to the game but want to nerf it without ruining the jungle aspect itself.

a possible solution I thought of is what if you apply the nocturne ult debuff(shadow fog thing) to people who enter the jungle for the first few minutes of the game so that everything outside of that jungle quarter of the map is in fog including the map, this fog is lifted once a jungler clears 6 camps(both sides or equivilant incase of invasion) this would give an incentive to junglers to focus on clearing their camps because until they do they haven't "charted" the jungle and are blind to their teammates lanes, they are still able to leave the jungle and have their vision of the map restored but by leaving the jungle to gank a lane early they could realize that the lane they wanted to help is pushing and unable to be ganked another lane is being ganked and needed a counter gank.

I imagine it would work like this:

each time has their jungle quarters with a trigger zone, upon entering that zone if your team hasnt killed 6 monsters then you receive the "Uncharted" debuff

Uncharted - This area is still uncharted your vision of the outside world is obstructed, defeat X more monsters to reveal it.

then each team also has the "Uncharted" debuff for the enemy team's map quarters that will be removed after say 24 camps have been killed, enemy team monters would count twice for this and champions killed in the jungle would count for four. This adds emphasis to the team's mid to late game where the jungler needs to clear camps in order to provide much needed vision when laning phase is over, it also adds incentive for junglers to seek eachother out in the jungle to provide that bonus even quicker.

I believe this would be a good solution to preventing oppressive jungle gameplay while still allowing a unique and important role for junglers to play and work around.

Thoughts?
