Riot was afraid of how strong Amumu and Sejuani would become in 5.5...

And they were right. Both are now around 56-57% win rate.

I hope Riot won't nerf them too harshly (because they will get nerfs for sure) in the next patch or two...

Still, this patch overall was very nice for tanks. Glad that we finally get to see more of them.

Edit : Why the downvote? I'm not saying I want them nerfed. Just saying Riot will still probably do it since they have fast fingers when it comes to nerfing tanks.

The thing is, they really shouldn't have high winrates. They have super easy counter-play. it's just been so long since tank junglers have been viable that people forgot how to beat them.

Win rates mean nothing. Heimerdinger has a high win rate better nerf him. So does Fiora , Swain , Malzahar , these all deserves nerfs I mean win rates.

Every time I see Fiora on my team in ranked, I cry. Every time I see one on the enemy team, I'm sure to camp their lane.

I like Fiora, but only for fun. Unless the jungler is a tank, there's no frontline or peels for the adc...

Oh I'm well aware that win rates is just one stat among many, but still, Riot have fast fingers when it comes to nerf tanks or tanky bruisers that are not Lee Sin (remember that one patch where Skarner was buffed then nerfed right after and then forgotten for a long time until recently?)

I am afraid this will also happen to Amumu and Sejuani...

When item 3035 , item 3135 , and item 3153 exist, it's hard to criticize the new item's health boost. I mean, I can see that some champions just had a boost in win rates, but I have a feeling it'll stabilize. If it doesn't, then swing the nerf bat, otherwise I'm willing to tolerate it for the sake of diversity.

I have been playing a lot of sejuani and it really the buff did nothing to her. Her W and E had enough AoE to do the damage and thus the burn although nice it was totally unnecessary on her. Second the 25% HP bonus scale only on HP coming from items, hence up until lvl 15 or so you actually get less HP than the old Juggernaut.

Amumu is still unimpressive and has many weaknesses. Sejuani is a lot stronger and I'm still not convinced she needs a nerf. People don't counterjunlge well as a team and the get surprised that Sejuani outscaled their jg hard.
