Whats the problem with Blue side getting golems before they go to lane? Yes they hit level 2 earlier but it isnt earth shattering. As well as the mid lane wraiths stealing yes u dont have to really walk into the jungle and can hit the big wraith with your range. Also kiting the jungle golems was the main thing in bot lane golem taking but there are some junglers that truely do need a "had leash," and it hurts them more.
They can still choose to do the golems before lane, it will just be now more difficult and thus be a larger consideration in terms of how much damage they are willing to take to incur this advantage.

So with the change in early ganking does that mean that bush placement near lanes will change? If you guys are doing touch ups to the map please make more map designs. Us oldfags have been waiting years for new maps instead of new skins.

So, instead of increasing the varied, this changes narrow it MUCH more.

No more leashing = Bye Bye any exotic jungler (Karthus for example)

Incredible uncompatitive for any rough start jungler (Hecarim, for example)

Simple NO MORE junglers on blind pick or below lv30!!!! Your team need to know how to help you in order to do a proper assist on early blue/red farming... sometimes i get no leash on low levels account theese days, imagine after the changes...

Unless the masteries and runes are completely redone to take all of this into account, we will have to lowest number os junglers, specially on 1500(-) ELO, than we ever had!

The ability to leash was something good to the game, since it allowed for many varied jungler pool.

Theese changes dont make Fiddle better AT ALL, since he is more vulnerable than ever to invades... now if you steal his first blue... he will stay lv 1 forever since he will not have mana and help to level up unless some lane lose even more time helping him on other camps and losing more team gold and team xp.

Champions that already can do well if they dont get a leash will simple do better(Udyr, Lee Sin), the others will fall farther behind...

So your purpose here is to make junglers less aggressive in a way by making early camps a bit stronger. Honestly i dont really mind besides the no leash part but i guess ill have to see for myself when i can.

Increased damage and reduced effectiveness of AoE for jungle?

RIP Jungle Karthus.
