RIP Feral Flare

If the gold income is an issue go poacher's knife - devourer, the new jungler passive is 10 hps and 5 mps (while fighting jungle camps) compared to 10 health on auto with flare. As mentioned earlier, the ward passive isn't made up for. There is a 20% attack speed increase so I guess there's that. And the bonus on hit isn't tripled unlike flare but that was based off of riot's decision in order to make jungling more difficult.

That being said though it's ridiculous that instead of 1800 gold you need to use 2250 it really can put people behind

All the old jungle items had things for gold income. Only 1 of the 4 have that now if i recall correctly. Riot even stated that the aforementioned jungle item was to take the place of the flare.

Also the jungle items don't have gold income now because of the gold rewards for killing jungle camps and how that was adjusted.

Yeah but the way jungle is at the moment it's hard to farm because everything curbstomps you early and then you're almost screwed if the enemy jungler sees you
