Spirit of the Golem King Suggestion

I like the new change to the Spirit line of jungle items for the most part, because it allows one to kill jungle monsters without losing mana or life in the process. However, the change makes the Spirit of the Golem King even less of a tanky item than it was before. It already went from 500 health (and no armor or magic resistance) to 350 health at the beginning of the season and now it doesn't have any health regen.

This makes it an even less valuable item in general combat. Could you change the health value on Spirit of the Golem King back to 500 health so that it can be a little more tanky of an item than it is? If you have to increase the cost by 200 gold, I understand. However, I think by removing the general purpose health regen that you can increase the health value of Spirit of the Golem King without increasing the general cost of the item. Thanks.

I think they're upping it to 400. It's like that in PBE.

That's a start, but not enough to make it that attractive. I'm starting to think I might stop at the Spirit Stone, get the MR boots for tenacity, and just build out from there. The cash that you get from the full Spirit of the Golem King doesn't really pay for the 1300 you spend to finish the SoGK.

The regen was replaced with butcher, so now neutral monsters you attack are effected by lifesteal,it helps jungling early game with sustain, and mid to late game, you can do a full clear and come out with 100% health. If you tend to wander of into lane or do a lot of ganking i would suggest wriggles, The attack speed and armor is nice,it almost doubles clearing speed with the extra damage to monsters, and gets you considerably more gold per clear. The free ward also lets you pick the other trinkets, or you can still get warding totem and place 2 wards on separate cooldowns. But yes, for a tanky jungler, going back to 500hp would be nice.
