Hello my fellow jungle and mid mains. This more applys to junglers but mid uses raptors for quick cs. So since the update there are 2 more baby raptors and man are they tanky i mainly play olaf vi and rengar and on you first jungle clear they will take over half your health even if you focus the baby ones. and then they take 3 autos to kill and with out any items that takes forever. i just think that the health or attack speed of them should be dropped. Your thoughts?

Think of raptors as a wave of minions. If you can clear a minion wave with all of it going aggro on you then you can take raptors. The difference being you can smite the big one for health back.

Raptors are designed to kick your arse if you're not playing a high AOE jungler. Olaf and Vi should be able to handle them TBH, just go Blue>Gromp>Wolves>Raptors as so you have lv 3. For Olaf this allows rank 2 axe spam with blue buff, you'll need to AA down which ever one decides to block you though. For Vi this allows a quick Q>E>E which should leave them all at 1 AA.

You probably just want to skip them as Rengar, maybe you could clear with your W, but it seems like a lot of effort for the reward you get.

Also no, they shouldn't be nerfed. Raptors being strong is one of the few things in this meta that goes against cancer junglers like Lee Sin and Graves. The extra time it takes them to clear and damage they take from the camp gives it a huge opportunity cost for them.
