R.I.P. Atma's Impaler (And other items)

Dear Riot,

You wanted to increase strategic diversity this season by changing the jungle and introducing new items. What you did was completely the opposite, by destroying Atmas Impaler and Spirit of The Ancient Golem.

-Atmas Impaler-

Atmas Impaler was, undoubtedly, a very unpopular item. It might have been used in 1/1,000-10,000 games. However, i used to love it on Chogath, and it encouraged strategic diversity by allowing tanks to get an item that increased their damage and armor (although the crit was a bit redundant). now, you have taken away an option for Garens and Sions and Chogaths to get strong AD.

-Spirit of The Ancient Golem-

Early-Mid S4, the jungle was dominated by high damage junglers like Lee Sin (Still Dominating), Kha Zix, Etc. To fix that, quill coat was created, spirit of the ancient golem changed. The amazing sustain it gave to tank/utility junglers made them viable again, and got Rammus nerfed because he was TOO powerful. Fast forward to now, and look at what tanks have. Juggernaut is trash. It needs to be made more like quill coat/spirit of the ancient golem again. Please.

They should have turned it into a flat ad/armor item instead of making it depend upon health stacking. They could have easily turned it into the equivalent of an hour glass in terms of offense/defense stats. They still could [in theory], but Riot Games doesn't seem to give a single !@#$ about us, so...

Well, actually the Health Stacking was the reason i loved it on Cho'Gath and Sion.
