Having trouble adjusting. I did a custom yesterday with Varus to try out ruunans hurricane but I'm not feeling it as a legitimate PD replacement. of course in team fights having 3 people marked with blight stacks is good though.
Jungling is substantially harder and I did a practice run with cho'gath alone, and without a leash I had to wait till I was level 4 to kill a single buff, as opposed to level 2. Effectively making my normal game run wolfs > blue > wraiths > wolfs > red before I can do much in a gank, and even then I can't really make use of the red buff like I used to because I still have to Back. Not saying the jungle is 'bad' because I can get more gold and stuff out of it, but I'm worried more about how pubs are going to adjust.
I've only got something like 160 wins so playing as a jungler I'm sure I can still expect "where's that level 2 gank? noob jungler GG" or "god gank more we're dying" when I can't gank due to low health from buffs.
Still, Cho'gath is fairly sustainable in the jungle so I'm sure I'll find a way.
Bruiser teemo going to be better now. Runaans, iceborn, all those new solo top items man. poison and slows and magic resist drops everywhere.

I think buffing ward spam (with sightstone and explorer) and nerfing oracles is going to hurt junglers a lot. Gonna be hard getting past that map vision when your oracle's on a timer.
I agree, but they buffed the jungle camps value, so instead of ganking, the jungle will become the 4th lane. I suppose it kills one of the reasons of the junglers existence (map presence and pressure on the lanes), but there is an alternative to ganking. We'll have to see if the farming option is worthwhile.
Honestly I like the vision/jungle changes.
Shutting down early game gank heavy jungles, rather making it more of a risk/reward to choose between farming or ganking, means lanes are less pressured. It also makes roaming more risky.
Ultimately we will have to see how this plays out but I feel people will eventually get over the initial shock of not snowballing lanes through camping them. Ganks will need to be better planned and still have the same effect they do now (kind of) but now there is SOME punishment for failed ganks, or time spent not in the jungle.

Force and Heart of gold were taken away, that is not cool...After that, the new season its okay, random new staff. Oh right, League is getting somehow similar to HON, but its still cool.
