Jungle in Season 8?
We've had a pretty tank heavy season 7, but with the new changes, I was wondering if carry junglers might be back. Just want to know your opinion on how the jungle role in season 8 is leaning towards.

Tanks are not as bad as some people think. Aftershock is pretty good with rammus/malphite because of they're respective w's. Carries are going to be a lot stronger though, especially bruisers, because of things life press the attack, transcendence, and triumph (which needs a nerf). Assassins are also better this season; tanks aren't as meta as last year so they will have an easier time jumping in, killing a squishy, and jumping back out without getting cced.
I feel champs like vi darkin kayn and wukongs type are the strongest right now for jungle
Tanks suck. The tank runes are absolutely dreadful. Vlad is the best tank in the game lol.
I feel like anybody who isnt akali right now is screwed
Carries in the jungle are working now due to the low amount of defensive stats in early game on other champions that are not tanks. Tanks are still needed to help win team fights but they can now be taken as support better than they did in S7 or remain top. The support tanks rise is due to after shocks burst defensive stats for 2.5s. If aftershock gets nerfed badly it's likely to end tank supports. Guardian could be used but it's cool down is too long to be useful for high damage attacks due to being removed quickly by a single low damage auto attack. The build that tank supports take is also buffed by ingenious hunter. Allowing locket to be used atleast ones for every team fight, and face of the mountain nearly twice in every team fight with ruby sight stone. Sweeper is also buffed so buying control wards to clear isn't as much needed to clear wards allowing the tank support to focus on defensive and supportive items, or damage to help carry.
So, from what I collected, burst and/or engage jglrs are viable, but so are tanks when a team is lacking a front line. Thanks!

Right now damage is king. it almost feels like tanks melt like butter to carries right now.
It's actually assassins. While I'm happy the fucking marksgods have been dethroned, damage is so high in the runes and everyone is generally squishier, assassins are having a field day bursting everyone all over the map. That said, it's a refreshing change although it sucks for me to get invaded early nearly every game as a carry jungler now.
