The latest League of Legends patch is bringing new balance changes for the jungle, aiming to help out underperforming champions in the early game and nerf the general power of ganking a lane.
The funnel strategies that are extremely obnoxious have also been targeted to reduce their power and disincentivize running them.
Here are the full notes for League’s Patch 10.8.

Funnel mechanics
The minion gold penalty for junglers has been reduced from 50 percent to 40 percent. The penalty will be removed at 20 minutes instead of the 14-minute mark. This change is aimed at stopping people from playing funnel strategies.

Solo kills will grant more experience in the early levels by 20 percent, while assisted kills will grant less by 20 percent. These buffs will be applied up until level six only and be reduced for level seven and eight.
Jungle buffs
Jungle items received a new effect, increasing healing received by the item by 50 percent when below 30-percent maximum health. This change is aimed to help underperforming junglers and players who are new to the role.
