Where are the Zacs? The Nautilus'? The Elises and Evelynns? You talk about champion diversity yet these champions are really weak right now and are hardly played. I understand that the meta changes but the ap and tanky junglers have really fallen out and have not received many buffs lately. The 3 main junglers (J4, Lee, Vi) are just way stronger than any other jungler currently and if you aren't going to nerf them due to your #LCSbigplays then please buff some of these champions in some way. Right now it's ad jungle every game it seems. (I understand Nidalee jungle is strong but that's due to her changes with jungle creeps more than anything) They clear much faster than ap junglers and just do so much damage, yet at the same time tank so much that it isn't worth playing a tanky jungler. They are too good at both dealing and tanking damage. It's time for some buffs to other junglers. Also buffing ap junglers will hopefully allow for different diversity in other lanes as well.

I have to say, people simply don't know how to play. The jungle right now gives a lot of opportunities for duverse junglers. It's just that thing need to be done differently as in the past and differently between champions.

For example Alistar is back big time, but barely anyone knows it. Also Poppy works great in the jungle. I even managed Soraka, but I wouldn't advice that in a serious game, unless you have a really special team comp.

I'm maining Nautilus and Rammus in the jungle again. They work so well, they just get played differently. Abyssll Scepter and Sunfire :P

Yeah that 17% bonus magic damage from Abyssal is nuts, permanent DFG (;

Oh yeah Ryze another AP/Tank jungler that works great. And he has up to 31% increased magic damage.

Zac and Gragas are both awesome in the jungle and clear very well with health to spare.

I tried Zac; he works fine now but his ganks are no longer the best I find. Sure, he has a good initiate but requires a lot of follow up since all you have is a burst of damage and your ult if it's up. Lots of powerful gankers these days have realiable sustained damage even if only in a short (Rammus Tremors).

Then again I guess that was solo q :/

Yeah, sadly if your laner doesn't follow up, your gank means nothing but wasted time. With liandry's though your W does so much damage.

It's purely an itemization issue. AD champs synergize with lifesteal; AP champs do not.
