--- Quote from: Stocking on January 21, 2014, 12:18:56 PM ---Jungle is designed to be able to catch up easy. Even if you had a bad start, as long as you're farming and not wasting time with poorly-executed ganks then you should easily catch up with the rival jungler and still out farm the laners.

--- End quote ---
You've obviously never lost your first buff while jungling then. While it's possible to catch up, it's extremely difficult, considering A) you probably lost most of the XP from the buff, and B) You don't have the mana regen/cd reduction of the buff. As a jungler with high early mana costs like Fiddlesticks, Shaco, potentially Vi, etc, you'll be OOM and forced to go back every few camps, losing you a lot of jungle time.

The disadvantage isn't that it's impossible to catch back up, the problem is in the fact that you have to use your time to play catch-up instead of doing things to help your team, like warding, ganking, and split pushing/taking dragon.
Stocking:
if you lose the buff you can still easily farm the 725 gold for your Tier 2 jungle item and boots, and then you're already back in a good place

unless youre playing a dedicated ganking jungler like rammus, there's nothing wrong with just farming your jungle and holding lanes until youre needed in team fights. unless your team is getting zoned out of their lanes or the enemy team is simply begging to be ganked it's usually not a bad idea to focus on farming and counter jungling.
Sleven:
Why does this come from a mbrown towness shyvana player. Simple as pie man some champs are frikn impossible (no, not impossible but really.. tough stuff) without the early blue. Amumu without blue is dead amumu.
Katadeus:
Yeah, if you lose blue with some champs basically you have to continuously recall because you can't keep your mana up, and if you run oom you just die
kevin 51l:
fiddlesticks is garbage as forget in the jungle without blue and olaf REALLY doesn't need blue. you should always secure your first buff with blue anyways, it will always be up for your second one as long as you take another camp in between.
