I watched the whole video, but you are kinda missing a major point, he choose Master Yi as his farm jungler. Never mind that Yi has decent ganks if his laner brings cc. YI has never been what most people consider the "farm" jungler. Elise clears faster than him, mundo clears faster, shiv clears a hell of a lot faster. Heck even Olaf might clear faster with his changes.
During his "farming" route entire camps were up for 10 - 15s at a time. Shiv can do the small camp route at respawn.
Also he itemized strangely, Yi would be a pretty strong case for the AD jungle item. Alpha strike would proc the passive on the entire camp. He didn't buy boots on his first back (even if they are definitely important for a powerfarm since you spend most time running between the camps).
The biggest jungle change wasn't any early game stuff, it was that the jungle now scales properly. It might mean that farming the jungle on a specific char is worthwhile even lategame, it might not, but that is not something testing on PBE will show us.
Simply put until quite a bit of testing and metachanging is done we won't be able to say what the changes actually bring, but that isn't a reason to make videos using a sub-optimal jungle route with a middish jungler to prove "something".

I didn't watch the Stonewall video, but from the few I have seen he is usually wrong and very inaccurate about everything. Better to test out things yourself than believe anything he says tbh.

Well the one thing you can say he has empirically tested is that master Yi in the new jungle while building wriggles runs into sustain issues and has about the same amount of gold as he had in S3.
If that information is worth anything is another question entirely

yea...
-Stonewall has been a famous youtube streamer since Wrath(wow) dunno why he can't find some fanboi to leash for him, that alone basically invalidates the speed test. (unless theres something I don't know about s4 spawn times)
-As mentioned above he chooses Yi for the lategame potential ofc but he does not compare to true farming junglers as mentioned above.
-I tried to watch the video very closely he does not list his runes anywhere but as far as I can tell he's not running lifesteal quints (if they are still good after s4 changes I have no idea) and it also looks like he's not running aspd reds, Yi should be able to endlessly farm on claw alone with lifesteal quints, and will farm faster with aspd reds if mindless farming is your only goal.
-personally I say thank god, I mean they could get a little more money and that would be cool, but the equivalent of lane free farm in a pve environment is (in my opinion) not good for the game.
-The last thing thats fucking with people about this video is he's comparing how it's barely more gold than on live, the thing is, as I've mentioned before the jungle on live already provides far closer to lane farm than people think, the problem is if the other jungler is a ganking jungler you just straight up lose in solo q, and that is why it's not a viable option, it is not the amount of gold, because that is already more than decent if you tunnel for it. The only way this isn't true is if the vision changes in s4 make it safe to play this style, that alone is a bigger change than all the gold in the world they could add to the jungle.

i think minions spawn 5 seconds faster or something like that so it's much harder to leash without missing 1-2 in the first wave

Yeah you are in agreement with him there. That's one of the main thrusts in his video. I think you and Tula have pretty much killed everything else he's saying in it though.

It's amazing how many viewers they got comparing to the SC2 streamers.

Farming jungles are not always carry jungles. The jungle changes were meant to allow carry jungles to exist. So the choice of yi was appropriate. Pretty much shows stuff like jax and yi still not jungle material, cuz gold intake doesn't change.

except his points are just wrong
-he keeps complaining about wriggles being nerfed, when for his set goal (farming as much as possible) it's a buff if he runs lifesteal quints
-he actually says in the video that going the wriggles rush route puts you behind until ~12 min, at which point you are only up 300g and it starts improving from there. that's pretty fucking early.
like 50% of his argument is based on Wriggles being a good item on live spoilers: it's not
not to mention with lvl of jungle creeps being based on avg level in the game isn't playing by yourself in a custom a nerf to XP (something else he complains about)
I don't know what to say really he comes across as complaining, if it's just a statement of fact (that afk farming will in most cases lose games) then sure he's right but if it's a complaint then he sounds like he wants to be able to have enough farm to fail ganks and still have the most income in the game which is ludicrous.

Well jungler routinely keeps up with sololaner xp til around lvl 6. Sometimes with good jungle control can keep in closr xp range of solo laner around lvl 9. If anything, jangle camps xp gain would be lower in real game early on, than in solo custom game.
