Is there a reason that we can't have two AP jungle enchantments?
With the new jungle item, and Magus being removed, it just seems kind of odd. It's not like this item has everything Magus didn't but more, a bit like Cinderhulk. It's going to have the same issue as before with Magus and only work well on a few champions. If you look at AD junglers they have a potential of three paths. Warrior, Devour, or Cinder. While there are some AP junglers like Gragas, Mao, and Zac who could go the AP item instead of Cinder, they generally don't as their AP ratios are pretty poor, in Zac's case some of the worst in the game.
When I read Riot's reasoning with Champions like Fiddle, it seemed like a bit of a cop out. They basically said that some people are going for a straight hourglass, so we guess he'll be alright. I mean that's a pretty big nerf to him as losing between 10 to 20% CD on his ult (depending on if he actually builds the new item or not) is a big deal. As of now he's the most popular AP jungler who's going to take a hit, with champs like Karthus not being that popular as junglers.
I'll have to wait and see how it plays out with the new item, just seemed odd as they couldn't leave a different path option for AP junglers.
without the armor or slow effect lol...
