This surge of tanks in the current meta are effecting the utility and the overall value of assassin junglers. the nerfs to the dos jungle item and the introduction and buffs to the new tankier items don't help either.
We should not forget the Khazix's in this world and toss a friendly look at them and consider a change
The problem isn't the tank junglers, the problem is that the new jungle is very unforgiving for those who get behind, and whereas a tank who falls behind still has use, an assassin doesn't.
Is this a QQ post that AD assassin junglers are losing to tank junglers? Seriously? What fresh hell is this.....
Oh how the tables have turned...
A month ago every thread was "this meta only supports assassins, tanks can't compete QQ" lol.
are pretty much assassins with their random gank and stupid dmg
The Jungle is a power vacuum. One jg type leaves, another rushes in
Reingover would like a word with you
I'm not really seeing the correlation between the two. Unless we are talking about counter jungling? The intent of the new item, the way I understand it, is to help the tanks clear faster so that they have more presence in earlier levels and later they can stay in teamfights fights for longer. They are slowly broadening the jungle so that we're not always stuck with J4 and Lee Sin every game. I'm almost willing to bet they have something in mind for the assassins in the future as well.
Risk and reward when playing assassins. If you take the risk of playing them and not choosing a tank of utility champ, then you get the reward of having another carry. If you choose the risk of playing a tank/utility champ then you get the reward of having more CC or Tanks on your team. At least with the ADC they have a support to help them farm and stay alive, while assassins take care of themselves in the jungle or have the jungler help in mid lane.
Remember one year ago when everyone wanted 
gutted. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
But seriously it'd be cool if maybe like his evolutions correlated with each other.
I explain it better in this thread I made http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/rOig5ueL-something-needs-to-be-done-about-khazix (scroll to the bottom)
I think you mean tanks and bruisers....
You know, the guys who get warrior then go on full tank?
the real tanks:
etc. aren't that much better of then assassins.
why do you think they buffed them?
