Junglers to play this patch? Decreasing my champ pool

So I'm a jungle main, but since 5.13, I've had a hard time figuring out who to main. I know tank junglers have just about fallen off in soloq, with a few exceptions. I've heard assassin junglers are strong now, with squishier teams. Then, of course, are the Sated Devourer junglers. So I know my options, I'm just not sure who to main this patch.

My jungle pool:

I know some of these champions don't primary place as junglers, but I threw them out in anyway.

I would recommend Shyvana Warwick who are both basically free wins if you have a team with a half-assed idea of how to play the game.

Kayle MasterYi are both very strong options for SD.

RekSai has variability in being able to be built either tank or bruiser and still be viable either way, gives you flexibility in team comps and the possibility of unparalleled map presence.

Zac Gragas are both solid picks for Cinderhulk still, and Diana as well as Nidalee are probably your top Runeglaive picks

I know you don't have her on your list, but I find Shyvana to be the single strongest of the batch in most cases. She has the capability of throwing out relevant ganks before level 6, is still quite strong before getting sated devourer, when she completes it she can shred people in the blink of an eye, her clear speeds are through the roof, she can build bruiser and still be as tough to take down as a tank, she can 1v1 just about anyone in the game, she naturally deals hybrid damage and with item 3930 and item 3153 which makes her a nightmare to itemize against, she further amplifies her hybrid damage and gains % hp damage with even more sticking power, she's tremendously difficult to peel off naturally, proper itemization makes this even more the case item 1320 , Blue smite, , the swiftness mastery, as well as her natural speed boost from W, make her virtually unpeelable without hard cc, which she really doesn't care about anyway, because she only needs to get a few hits off on a squishy to completely delete them.

Rengar is and always will be a strong jungler in the right hands.

DrMundo Amumu Hecarim Easily my three favorite champs to jungle with.

If I want to try using the devourer, I'll roll out Jax .

Mind you, I'm still learning the jungler roll, so my pool isn't that big presently.

RekSai and are still probably a very good picks in solo just for the fact they can either go warrior or cinderhulk and use them both effectively, he have a very healthy clear along with the ability to gank very well extremely early

Gragas still a very hard engage tank which is very meta still, he has great cc and his passive and W make him very tanky when you do build cinderhulk

Diana is very strong with even before runeglaive and now she is even better in the jungle but she doesn't really have ganking pressure pre six but over all a very strong AP assassin in the jungle if you don't own Elise or Evelynn

MasterYi very much like Shyvana where as soon as you have sated devourer you are god and can safely duel just about anyone as long as you farmed at least desently. I've also heard Kayle jungler is the exact the same way but I have never tried it myself
