One tiny concern about the loss of runes and masteries

What is going to happen to the future meta of jungling?

Let's be honest, not all junglers were designed with the role of jungling. and were both designed for other roles but wound up in the jungle. was never a jungler until her rework and that's because it was the only role she was close to playable in. was more of a top forever but more recently became a more meta jungler.

One of the most important things about the current system is that runes let you specifically customize your champ, and of all the roles it's most important to the jungler. Junglers really need a specific rune page to function moreso than most other roles. With the current system going away and champions getting stat buffs on their current playstyles (hello meta enforcement) I really wonder how that is going to affect both new champs and reworks when it comes to jungle potential. I'm specifically thinking about the loss of stats we can assign based on the needs of what us the players want to do and being given buffs based on what riot thinks a champ should do.

I think it's a fair argument that the jungle meta is going to be more tightly controlled from here on out and that without the ability to have that AS and flat armor you need, it'll be more unlikely for a champ to be able to jungle because riot never intended it to happen. So unless riot specifically makes or reworks a champ with the jungle in mind, are we going to find fewer unintended junglers?

The flip side of this equation would be riot making the jungle so easy jungle could be meta one day followed by jungle the next.
