User blog comment:DoctorAsawa/League of Targon's - How Riot Effectively Killed Junglers/@comment-4434378-20131124025325/@comment-4022742-20131124140013

Out of all the jungle gold items... Wriggle's would actually be the better item on every single target champion out there. Since 100 bonus damage is not like spirit stone just a mere 30% increase in damage, but at times 120% increase in damage, and even in DPS. "But that's only in the jungle" you might say, and you'd be right. If it wasn't for that additional 40% gold increase, making fast farming more alluring, getting you better items faster.

Lizard, Wraith and Golem seem to be focused on Ganking junglers. With Lizard and Wraith supposedly being the AD and AP pure gank items, and Golem being the semi-gank/semi-farm tanky jungler item for junglers like Amumu and Sejuani. Golem is still in good shape and gets some play, Lizard is still a niche item picked up by some junglers. But the wraiths one is just nerfed to the ground, as the new passive doesn't make up for the loss of spell vamp at all. Junglers like Diana (yes she jungled like a boss) went from having 10% spell vamp on their spells, to getting 4% of the damage done, but getting mana back as well.

Really, jungle has been closed off for a lot of AP-champions that used to be able to do it, in favor of champions like fiddlesticks and nunu, who already were beasts, but are now even stronger -_-
