Tank junglers

An open letter to Riot-

Please stop messing with my tank junglers. For the love of God, please. Tank junglers are my absolute favorite way to play the game and nobody can leave them alone. People like Rek'Sai, Jarvan IV, Gragas, Hecarim, Volibear, and now Zac. Cinderhulk and Courage of the Colossus/Aftershock is getting smaller and smaller. Rek'Sai, Jarvan, and Hecarim are all AD bruisers now. Gragas got turned into an AP bruiser. Volibear is... weird, but I feel like once he gets his rework you're going to turn him into an attack speed Jax-like champion. Zac was my all-time favorite pure tank that was still viable as a tank, and now he's being turned into yet another bruiser.

We have enough bruisers in the jungle. We don't need AP or AD scalings on every ability. Even champions like Trundle, the tanky anti-tank builds bruiser. I love Gragas, Zac, and Jarvan so much, but slowly every single tank champion is turning into a bruiser.

Specifically on Zac, our most recent victim: I'm not gonna debate whether or not Zac's ult needs a revert. But I absolutely disagree that a "key part of Zac's pattern is diving the backline and doing damage." Zac's pattern is and always has been to be a huge, high-health tank that dives the backline and applies CC, not damage. This same problem happened to Galio, when you applied AP ratios that got out of control.

Please just leave our tanks alone. We have more than enough bruisers and the jungle meta is ripped apart every single season. I was finally satisfied with the most recent meta that allowed tanks a spot back into the jungle, but Sejuani and Rammus cannot be the only viable jungle tanks.

Please stop messing with the tank junglers.

An upset jungler, Septirath.
