Jungle Nerfs

While not every change made to the jungle in this patch is a nerf, the vast majority are. As a result of these changes, the role's overall power level drops significantly.

• Damage to Champions/Pets: 20-160 (levels 1-18) >>> 40 flat
• [NEW] Smite Epic Monster Forgiveness: Smite now has a 350-unit targeting forgiveness against Epic Monsters. This means that if your cursor is near the model but not over another valid target, it will act as though you were targeting them.
• Primal Smite AoE Damage on Monster Hit: 50% of Smite's damage >>> 100% of Smite's damage
• Junglers with Primal Smite no longer take 20% less damage from epic monsters while two or more allies are nearby.
• Gustwalker
  • Brush movement speed bonus: 45% >>> 30%
  • Large monster takedown movement speed bonus: 60% >>> 45%
• Mosstopper
  • 60-281 (levels 1-18) >>> 180-300 (levels 10-18)
  • Shield no longer grants tenacity and slow resist
• Flame Claw
  • No longer triggers from Smite; now requires taking damage from a spell or basic attack

• Companion damage scaling adjusted: 16 (+10% bonus AD) (+12% AP) (+10% bonus armor) (+10% bonus magic resist) (+3% bonus health) true damage >>> 16 (+10% AP) (+20% bonus armor) (+20% bonus magic resist) (+3% bonus health)
• Companion damage radius: 900 >>> 650
• The companion's healing per second is now capped at 12-45 (levels 1-12)

Jungle Camp Health Adjusted

The actual formulas behind the camp health changes are a bit complex, so here's an idea of where jungle camp health starts and where it ends up by level 18. The takeaway here is that jungle camps will be much harder to kill. While some will be slightly weaker than before in the midgame, they'll be slightly weaker than before by the late game.

• Blue Sentinel Health: 2300 – 4600 (levels 1-11) >>> 2300 – 6210 (levels 1-18)
• Red Brambleback Health: 2300 – 4600 (levels 1-11) >>> 2300 – 6210 (levels 1-18)
• Sir Gromp Health: 2050 – 4100 (levels 1-11) >>> 2050 – 4817.5 (levels 1-18)
• Crimson Raptor Health: 1100 – 2585 (levels 1-11) >>> 1200 – 2820 (levels 1-18)
• Raptor Health: 500 – 1000 (levels 1-11) ; 500 – 1175 (levels 1-18)
• Greater Murk Wolf Health: 1600 – 3200 (levels 1-11) ; 1600 – 3760 (levels 1-18)
• Murk Wolves Health: 630 – 1260 (levels 1-11) ; 630 – 1480.5 (levels 1-18)
• Ancient Krug Health: 1350 – 2700 (levels 1-11) ; 1350 – 3172.5 (levels 1-18)

Jungle Camp Damage Adjusted

The formula behind this one is a bit tricky to unpack, but know that the damage jungle camps deal is going down slightly at nearly every stage of the game. The full formula for how the damage scales:

100/100/120/120/130/130/140/150/180/180/200/220/230/250/260/280/300/300% of base AD >>> 100/100/110/115/120/125/135/145/155/165/180/195/210/225/240/260/280/300% of base AD

Jungle Sustain

• Health restored on Large Monster kill: 30-166 (up to 2.25x based on missing health) >>> 12% missing health
• Mana restored on Large Monster kill: 19-87 (up to 2.25x based on missing mana) >>> 20% missing mana

Changes to Counter-Jungling

In short, the jungle is being changed so that it's harder for laners to steal camps, while barely changing anything for junglers.

• Jungle item's bonus damage to non-epic monsters: 20 >>> 42
• Large Monster Armor and MR: 20 >>> 42
• Small Monster Armor and MR: 0 >>> 20

Junglers' Lane Minion Experience Adjusted

• Lane minion experience penalty deactivation threshold changed: 1.1 levels below average >>> 1.5 levels below average
• Minion Experience Gained: 40-75% during minutes 0-14, then 100% during minutes 0-20 >>> 30-100%
• Bug fix: Minion Experience penalty no longer locks in once the jungle item is completed
