The pro scene only plays champs that are OP in whatever team comps they need to run.

But Riot can make new works for Jungle.Remember S5 mid lane champion pool.Azir, Viktor and Cassiopeia but S6 mid lane champion pool is very wide.Malzahar, Vladimir, Kassadin, Viktor, Azir, Leblanc, Karma, Ryze, TF, Anivia, Cassiopeia.

The problem with balancing the jungle in pro play is that junglers fit a very specific role on the team. Unlike every other lane, junglers have a precise function: win the early game, be a utility tank late. Unless something is blatantly OP, like Kindred and Graves a few months ago, the top picks will be the best in the small pool of early-game junglers who can tank/play utility late.

actually, on a globals scale that is a good pool - if compared to previous seasons since S3. It always there like 4-5 meta picks and a few pocketpicks here and there. Prettymuch ever since Lee became gold-standart, forceing junglers to have either an similar insane early(good clearspeed, sustain, dueling and powerfull ganks), or a decent enough early with a far better late. While lee actually has been nerfed quite alot(even if most people refuse to see that), the damage done remains and pro-meta jungler need a sick early or a good early with strong late. Oh, and savety, that's utmost important. Every damn pro meta jungler aside from very few has solid escapes, atleast within the jungle, so they can escape invades while invadeing with low risk them self.

So yea, unless your overloaded as shit, you won't pass the test for projungleing, and that's the state of the professional jungle since start of S3.
