Can we see more Support-Junglers?

As someone who enjoys playing support & wants to start branching out into the Jungle scene, I found Nunu Nunu & Ivern Ivern to be two champions I've enjoyed playing recently. When playing with these two, I feel almost right at home buffing/Shielding the carries & helping my teammates win team fights.

There are two things I would like to ask Riot here; 1.) When/if Nunu is reworked, will his current identity as a Support-Jungler be taken into consideration? Will his ability to Support his team be approved upon (filling a Guardian-Role, like Braum) or will he simply be changed into something else entirely like say a Vanguard? 2.) Will we see anymore champions like these two? Support-Junglers are interesting since they can sometimes fill a certain role that your teammates might not be able to. For example: taking Ivern Jungle when you have a Tank in both Top & Support, or Taking Nunu if your Support plays an Enchanter like Janna or Lulu.

I remembered hearing they've been tinkering with this. They had an idea for a jungler Morganna, but at the time it would've overpowered her.

So yeah, we might see this sometime this year.

Please no.

Support junglers tend to excel at removing the enemy jungler from the game through hugely overpowering counter jungling. It's an extraordinarily unfun experience for the enemy, and exceedingly hard to counter given they have no interest in 'fighting' you and just use their mountains of 'support' oriented skills to walk away when caught.

Personally, when I play these guys. I tend to stay in my jungle & gank whenever possible, I'm not that into Early-Game Counterjungling. Only time I start counterjungling is when we're winning & my team takes an Inhib. Even then, I go for the buffs & nothing else since those are the more important camps to take.

I can see where you're coming from though.
