I've heard Diana just absolutely wrecks, but I haven't played it personally. I've actually only played with Shyvana and Shaco, but I'm having a BLAST devouring shyvana right now.

Tried Diana and had a fun time with her. Once she gets her upgraded item; she can clear fine and gank like a god.

U said Skarner and Sej were good.....but in this new jungle, they barely stay alive....

I haven't had a problem with either, especially skarner. I can clear from blue, wolves, chickens, to krugs + red buff with around 1/2 HP at my first clear. And it only gets easier from there.

As much as i wished it to die a fiery death, the Godyr lives on, even stronger than before.

Also, skirmisher + devourer + ww ult == 100%

I find Shaco has a harder time in this new Jungle than the old one. Not gonna say he's bad, but before was alot better. I believe this to be mainly due to the exp drop/balance system they did on the jungle creeps. Before you could Jug and keep up with lane levels. Now if you get ahead your exp gained from creeps drops to 55%. Now I understand this was done to get Jug's out of the jungle and into lanes to gank. But it's a double edged sword, If they go gank increase a level then try to come back and Jug some more they are getting the reduced exp. Meaning they can not keep their advantage if they go back to the jungle they have to keep ganking none stop. Anyone else think this?

My Jayce clears even better then before with the new jungle item, but as anyone knows first clear is always the worst. I usually Blue -> Wraith -> Red and back.

From what I've seen, sustain junglers ( Fiddlesticks Warwick etc), invaders ( Nunu Udyr etc), and tank junglers with good aoe clears ( Amumu etc ) are the best in the jungle now. I haven't jungled yet in the new patch, but from watching streams and stuff, that's what I've noticed. A lot of cheese ap junglers just aren't good now and get bullied even more than they used to be. ( Karthus Evelynn etc)
