Yes, the jungle is easier. The problem is the lowered experience and gold rewards with the shorter spawns causes a ton of problems. First, you need practically need to clear the entire jungle to get the same experience you got from just taking out the camps earlier, which means that you need to stay in the jungle longer while being ready to take out the camps when they spawned just to keep up with experience. Also, this means if the jungler ever stops sitting in his own jungle he will be losing experience quickly and unless he successfully ganks and quickly goes back into the jungle, he will completely under leveled. Secondly, counter jungling is worthless, prior to this patch you could invade the enemy's jungle, take out a camp, and cripple him. Now, if you take out an enemy camp you're just losng your own experience and putting yourself in danger, the camp will spawn soon after you take it out so it doesn't inhibit the other jungler at all and in fact helps them when you're out of your jungle. All these stupid changes they've been making are to make the game more "aggressive" and "action-packed" but with the recent change to the jungle all they've really done is made it an alternate lane that the enemy can't see. If you ever gank and fail, you're instantly a burden to your team. If you just stay in jungle all day, you're also a burden to your team. I don't see how this new jungle makes any sense when you look at it. Sure this was intended to let people who didn't have runes and masteries for jungling get into it but I don't see why you need to ruin the game for devoted people who love playing the game so people who would get to that level anyway can do something worse. Tl:DR version, It sucks, change it back.
