Lack of jungle items is hurting the jungle and jungle diversity

I mean riot has always been pushing for jungle diversity and its possible but a lot of champions are pushed out of the jungle because of lack of item diversity that suits them in the jungle or the item is not good enough to keep up with the top tier junglers. There should be a jungle item for every situation for example on the ap side of items

60 ap 7% movespeed - if you want to be a hyper ganker

60 ap 10% cdr +mana - going for a fast clear so you can reach level 6 and potentially your power spike earlier

60 ap + sheen - for those who can spam abilities and really make use of the sheen passive

30 ap + 10 magic pen for those junglers who are strong in the early game with good base damage but poor scaling

Items like these can help diversify the jungle so you can practically play anything. If you want to play amumu and have a fast jungler clear with little to no mana problems go right ahead. if you can spam abilities quickly go for the sheen item. if you want to end game quick go the magic pen route with less ap. Point being that with more jungle items like these it opens up the jungle to almost every champion and this is the best way to make the jungle feel fresh again.

Ideas for ad jungle items

30 ad 10 lethality for those assassin junglers

25 ad + tiamat - for those ad junglers who have a hard time clearing the little monsters can give them a faster clear

65 ad + 10 cdr - for those junglers who just have high ad ratios

TLDR: Riot has constantly been trying to refresh the jungle and have good jungle diversty while only have 1 type of jungle item for each class. More jungle items = more diversity = a fresher jungle

And then everyone will just pick whatever is the best item and the rest will just become item 3056 2.0. Less is more. The last thing the jungle needs is more items that will just make it even harder to balance
