User blog comment:Tyrant Belial/New Jungler changes Tests!/@comment-5266525-20141012044945

MY first thoughts on some of the early clearing aspects of it:


 * Razorbeaks have got to be nerfed. Right now they're the single strongest non-buff camp on the map by a good margin and they wreck your health on anyone who doesn't have massive AoE damage output and/or sustain.


 * I'm gonna have to call you out on being able to do Krugs > Razorbeaks > Red or Gromp > Wolves > Golem. Every jungler I tried going Krugs > Razorbeaks > Red or Gromp > Wolves > Golem died at the buff camp because Smite has too long of a cooldown to be up for it. Were you getting a leash (I didn't test in norms so I didn't have that luxury)?


 * Early aggression is mostly dead. There's very few junglers who can get to level 3 with anything resembling decent HP left since you can only buy two pots now. Hell, some of the worse ones come within a few hundred health of dying on the third camp. Level 2 aggression is a bit more feasible since a single camp with Smite used gets you there now. Since you can't get 3 very easily counterjungling at level 3 at one of the small camps just got a lot more lethal.


 * That said, most don't have any problem sustaining themselves or clearing once the second tier Machete is bought, much like how Spirit Stone made it back in Preseason 3. Considering how cheap they are and how low you'll be at level 3, it's obvious Riot wants you to rush these ASAP.


 * Some of the AP junglers might have difficulty clearing with any of the Machete upgrades as they don't autoattack a whole lot.
