With elise getting nerfed out of god tier and moving down to tier 1 along with the annihilation of armor and the buffs to MR what will happen to the JG?

What will happen to ranked 5s? Solo Q?

My theorys

  1. Runeglaive will be OP specifically on elise despite nerfs Diana and eve. I've got little issue with this because elise needs nerfs, eve can be lane swapped on, and diana is no where near as good in ranked 5s where she will be eh in the jungle.

  2. The lee sin buffs comboed with the armor nerfs will bring him up again to top tier in 5s but he will still be shit in solo q due to longer game times.

  3. Devourer reigns supreme. Shyvana spins out of control with deadmans plate and possibly even the new hydra dominating solo q and becoming even stronger for 5s. She becomes pick/ban at worlds and then is nerfed into oblivion.

  4. Warwick, Xin, Kayle will run away with the metagame. Kayle will become so severe in solo q her ban rate will be #2 after shyvana. Xin's new item pathing makes him rise to the point of competitive 5s pick rate as a fringe pick similar to how vi is now.

  5. The only remaining tank junglers will be amumu, who likely builds runeglaive->Sunfire->Other not nerfed tank items and doesn't feel or play like a tank, and in 5s Nunu who's high bases, good utility, and the natural ability to buy an early sightstone make him strong there although his solo q win rate will get obliterated.

  6. Lastly Gragas will finally fall away. With literally every single item he builds being nerfed he will be gone. Reksai will remain she will just buy warrior instead of cinder.

Anyone else think that the jungle meta is going to suck post changes?
