What happened to all the AP junglers?

I feel like the AP itemization changes have really mostly only helped laners. AP junglers are nowhere to be seen nowadays except the rare evelynn. I do not see Diana jungle anymore, nor do I see elise jungle. Nidalee's in a terrible state right now. I don't see Gragas, but maybe that's just because people don't like him(fat drunkard theme.) The only junglers I see are tank AD. Even burst AD junglers are being pushed out of the jungle. Master Yi isn't really all that good, and Talon doesn't do well in the jungle even though he REALLY should.

I feel like the jungle's starting to get a bit too homogenized. I can understand the fear of junglers being so strong they're better in lane then in the jungle like what you guys accidentally did with Zoe, but I'd really like to see more diversity in that lane.

Top lane is pretty random for me. I never know what I'm gonna face up there and I'll give you guys props for that. Same with midlane though not as much, and botlane for the most part.

I'd love to see more champs go in the jungle too like Katarina, Mordekaiser or Ahri, but their waveclear's not too good with their cooldowns (that Q cooldown reduction eve has on jungle minions really helps her there.)

Anyways, I've said my two cents. Good luck with the game. I hope you guys are doing your best to make all the champions relevant in some way :)

MS more mana isn't really worth it considering talisman and blue buff mana regen, and ap junglers shall not play the game as long as XIn Zhao and Graves remains unbanned ._.

It has been a continued chain of abuses for AP and slower champs. Champs withburst AD keep getting things pushed their way. Pick anything but a champ that can burst in 1 second and you are gimping your team.

Eve diana and fiddles have bad pre 6s.

Shaco has shifted from ap being the better pick to ad.

Nid and Elise are not easy, and consistently see nerfs when mentioned at all in the patch notes.

Runic echoes lost its movespeed and gained mana, which really none of the junglers needed.
