Buff cinderhulk or tank junglers...

I've been trying to play Sejuani lately and it is beyond frustrating right now. She's weak at every stage of the game and her 46% winrate reflects this. Clear speeds suck early on, shredded by true damage no matter what later on. True tank junglers have been ridiculously underpowered all season long and weren't good even before the season began. Why are they being left in the dumpster for so long? Hurry up and buff cinderhulk or all of the weak tank junglers. I fear it's already a year too late to prevent the loss of most of the tank jungler mains who have quit or gotten rusty at playing tanks, but better late than never...

They're getting buffs in 8.16.

I doubt they'll buff Cinderhulk, since they said it was becoming too dominant on damage junglers like Jax (which I think is tied to the fact that Bloodrazor is particularly weak if you don't have a way to proc it multiple times in an incredibly quick fasion (like with Master Yi and Shyvana), while Warrior has been an item a lot of champions (notably Rengar and Shaco from what I've seen) just outright skip before the funneling nerfs came to be).

They'd have to buff the tanks themselves, or their non-cinderhulk items otherwise, to make the champions better I think. Hard to say what to buff though, because I'm not someone who's good at healthy numbers.

Well, I am tired of the excuses on why the game can't be balanced and no moves can be made towards improving the balance within a year's time. I don't know why I am bothering to even ask for anything to be fixed with the state of the game. If Riot wanted jungle tanks to be playable and even slightly satisfying, they would be already. There have been a lot of factors that have led to me being very dissatisfied with the game this season, but trying to pick up Sejuani has actually depressed and frustrated me to a point where I can't get any enjoyment out of the game. It's really sad because Sejuani is a generally well designed champion with a naturally fun kit if the game were in a playable state, so it's really stupid that things have been allowed to get this bad.

They literally just nerfed sejuani in 8.14 for being too dominant in competitive. They're obviously not going to do anything to buff her.

Armor bonuses are going to be bigger boons for clearing than Cinderhulk buffs. The health bonus of Cinderhulk only helps deal with burst damage, namely from champions.

Might be better to lower its base health granted and up its % a little (or give it some low %health regen to make it a jungle version of item 3083 )
