Talon, Darius and Zed in the junlge.

You know, having flexible roles can be at times problematic and sometimes unhealthy for the game, whether as or against the champion who are supposed to be designed in a specific role they belong in. And this change was announced; recently, Riot announced that Garen, Darius, Zed, Talon and Diana will drawn into the jungle to widen up the role and to appeal the both jungle players and players who mained them. When we heard the announcements, me and many other people found some of the champions to be a little bit strange. Talon and Zed makes enough sense since they got pretty good jungle clear by their abilities. But for Garen and Darius while they are tanky and can clear pretty good, have one of the weakest ganks, because 1. They're juggernauts with no dashes, 2. Have mediocre objective control and participation around scuttle-crab and dragons for example, 3. Don't have in tools to catch their enemies compared juggernaut junglers like Shyvana or Trundle, who are - despite being a juggernaut - have gap-closers or ranged options to catch their enemies, and 4. Are snowballed dependent to gain leads from kills or assists, which rarely happens for them, because they are easily kiteable.

Speaking of widening the role, I myself found it very ironic that the other two non-junglers who have in common are supposedly designed to be in in the mid-lane, Sylas and Qiyana, where nerfed over and over again in an attempt to remove them from being viable in the jungle. So, the question is: Why is Riot ok with putting champions like Darius or Garen to be viable in the jungle, while being not okay with Sylas and Qiyana to be flexible in it. Honestly, I have no clue; Riot are in my opinion a bit all over the place when making champions intentionally flexible in other roles. That maybe the reason why I dislike having full AP carries like Zyra or Brand in the support role to be viable there (but that subject will be discussed in another time). Anyway, Do you agree that Riot are a little bit unpredictable when it comes to making some champions viable in other roles, while other champions not? Let me know.
