Wasting a jungler's time always accomplished something. If your other laners/jungler weren't making use of the fact that the jungler is in a known location, that's their misplay.

Anything BUT farming MIGHT be more beneficial but has the opportunity cost of the minions you miss. Previously junglers had periods where everything in the jungle was dead and there really was no choice but to gank. This makes "baiting" ganks a bit more rewarding, if you waste the junglers time you actually accomplish something. The choice at that point wasn't ever "gank or do nothing". You could also counter-jungle, back to buy items, cover a lane for someone else who needed to back or put yourself in a position to counter-gank. The whole "gank vs nothing, there's no real choice" spiel is a false dichotomy.
You are splitting hairs though. The important part isn´t what could be done instead of farming, it´s what you sacrifice for doing so. Previously,while the jungle was cleared that was "nothing".

Meh, normally you go back to buy items just before your wolves spawn for next clear. Lanes normally don't need covering, and counterjungling is risky and probably not going to be much good if they are jungling like you are and clearing before going to gank. Obviously there are exceptions but gank vs do nothing happened A LOT. Sometimes it was just trying to figure out where there jungler would gank and aim for countergank.

OddOne thinks that non-wriggle's junglers are pretty bad and that support junglers are completely gone.

If small Golems do indeed have 2k+ hp at 20 minutes then he's pretty much right. Watching him do nunu right now is just sad, because he's been ruining that Warwick's jungle and not getting anything from it.

Non wriggles jungles I dont agree with however. Mumu is probably stronger. Same with udyr. Most non wriggles jungles have aoe creep killing skills. Making creeps weaker helps them out.

-.- ok so once again Phreak's champion spotlight is singularly unhelpful in my determination of how good a new champion is... "so now im going to be super fed and win"
So is volibear any good? o.o

Since I don't play Tryn, I totally want to see this bug.

I did explicitly list counter-ganking in my list of "things that aren't nothing you could be doing when ganking isn't an option".
That said I only ever had those "omg I have nothing to do" jungle moments when I was still fairly new to it. Once I learned how to counter-jungle, how to gank from directions that weren't the river bush, how to predict where ganks would happen etc. I stopped having those "herpderp nothing to do" moments entirely.

I just laned garen vs volibear
At first I was like "this dude is op as shit wtf".
But then I figured him out a little better.
He seemed to fall off longer into the game, but the dude I was laning vs was building him like a pure tank which im not sure is how he should be built.
I do suspect he is incredibly strong 1v1 in lane tho.. esp vs other bruisers.

I think it's prett obvious that volleyballbear is going to be q 1v1 beast... He's tanky as balls with free effective hp from his passive
But who in their right mind is gonna try to 1v1 him? You saw how long it took him to kill shyvanna inthe preview... NO WAY someone doesn't just walk to the lane and help over that large a timeframe
Like I said earlier that fight was the most drawn out boring piece of shit ever, that would never happen past 1200 elo

"Did you know Master Yi cannot jungle anymore? He becomes untargettable for a moment during alpha strike, which makes the game think there is no champion near the creeps anymore and triggers their instant health recharge..."
from some EUW topic about the new jungle :D creeps now regen 5% max hp immediately upon deagro, fks up Yi proper

I'd say his numbers are more on the "WTF is this shit?" level.
