The jungle's Tanks

alright my discussion is going to take some of the jungle tanks and their jungle items.

now the new jungle items are great, each with an enhancement and everything, they're great, i love it, especially the chilling smite (that 1 moment when you scream on top of your lungs "DUBSTEP SMITE!!!!!!" and then you kill them) it's just a whole lot fun.

now i every enhancement is good, but...there's this juggernaut one...

now i know that 500 HP is good, but the fact that it doesn't give increased health reg, or any form of damage to the jungle creeps, now mainly, i'm talking about the quill coat, it gives tanks with no sustain, like volibear, and nautilus and sejuani, the ability to keep up with the other champs that already have an innate sustain, you have to ultimately upgrade your hunter machete into ranger's Trailblazer to get sustain, and lose efficiency in ganks, i'm talking specifically about volibear.

i'd like to cut that HP bonus to 350-400 and have an extra effect, like Health Reg, or movement speed buff, or armor and magic res (like 15-20 both armor and magic res) or even a 15% damage reduction, sorta like ninja Tabi's passive something to actually help the Pure Tanks.

because health alone does not reduce the damage at all, and the fact that you don't deal damage, but soak it, its kinda rough single handily with extra health.

it's because of that i find myself almost always ignoring upgrading my jungle items, the moment i buy either Ranger's Trailblazer, or Stalker's pride, i start immediately buying boots and finish all of the other tank items, i start buying randuin and spirit visage, and then to my sunfire cape, etc

when i finish all of my build, then i get that extra 500 hp now don't get me wrong, Tenacity is good and all, but it doesn't exactly help me in the jungle. now if they added something similar to Thornmail passive to a jungle item, that would be a GREAT benefit for tanks who don't deal damage. (except thornmail only works on..you know, basic attacks)

You take damage in the jungle as Volibear with a juggernaut trailblazer?

Or Nautilus? Something must be wrong with his masteries. I played jungle Nautilus for the first time in a long while after screwing with the points and find after my upgraded trailblazer the creeps can't hurt me with my shield up.
