One of the earlier posts got it down: the jungle was made harder so snowballing would be made more difficult. Jungle is one of my favorite roles and in ranked I believe I've only lost once on a shyvana jungle and maybe twice on udyr. With the jungle being so easy for certain champions, you could steal red, get your blue, do the mini camps, get your red, and be ganking mid at lvl 3 when they're still 2. The camps were such a joke that if you get boots 5, ghost, and bear on udyr you can do all of your camps to stay up on lvls while having constant lane presence across the board. Excited to see what these changes will do to make the jungler have not such an easy experience
