Correct, I also contemplated about mentioning that worked only on epic monsters when I was writing the former post. But my goal with was that Rito prolly wanted to incentivize jungler, not that it'd downright help with a first clear. Because, well, if it applied on other monsters too, he'd imo become viable as a jungler just too much.

..because theoretically (although I didn't empirically test it yet) alone can be enough to make him a fine jungler. You can for sure use it as a secondary dash to improve mobility during later clears, but early on it sounds much better when used as Midnight Sun mentioned. Because it's not only very easy to apply bonus heal and 50% CD refund on monsters, it also offers hard-to-mess-up crit bonus and easily performed Midnight Sun's double-AA-reset combo every single time against any monster. If the worked on non-epic monsters too, it'd be imo just too strong.

Regarding the, the cooldown is that huge only for the same terrain unit, on distinct targets it is pure 2 s. It sure makes mobility during jungling awesome, but I was more interested in many new ganking paths, that'd be opening to him- warding the river'd hardly help you if he decided to gank mid lane from your jungle's Raptor camp. Or if he ganked side lanes by jumping into the river bush from your jungle. That skill is extremely cheap resource-wise, if we neglect the terrain itself as a resource (that is the only catch of the ability where it becomes expensive). It'd allow him even to gank side lanes from epic monsters' dens regardless of pink ward present in tri-bush or not, because he'd still have 3 other pieces of terrain near the ganked lane to operate with (however, honestly, one only for defense move and another one offering very little gank-wise). If used wisely, it is a 2 second terrain dash, and that's a lot. Plus it'd allow him additional options when accessing epic monsters and there also the 'd play its part.

I am not saying that he'd be an OP jungler, just that to me he sounds fine for the role now.
