New Jungle Metas Are Way too Much

I have been jungling in for three seasons. Therefore, I was extremely excited when Riot announced the new jungle. However, the new jungle did more harm than good in terms of jungling. First, it has removed countless jungling champions from any sort viability due to the buff on the monsters, which makes champions like Shen or Dr.Mundo have very poor clear speed while champions like Evelynn barely live out of camps and always too low in health to target objectives or ganks. As a result, champions such as Vi, Jarvan IV, Lee Sin and Sejuani are played so often that I don't even have to wonder what the junglers will pick.

I'm happy to see Sejuani make it into a post like this.

Eve may start the jg a tad weak, but if you take the right stuff and are building / maxing her right, Eve's first clear (Krugs, red, Wraiths, Wolves (smiting Krugs and wolves) or Toad, Blue, Wolves, Wraiths (Smiting Toad and Wight, and warding red as you back)) is the only time she has any issues. After that she can recall, get her chilling smite and second buff and got gank town, making sure to maintain her jungle whenever she can. Her only real threat is lv 1-3 counter jungling, and even then she can fight off a surprising number of meta junglers level one (if she can stay on them) and two (attack speed steroid ftw).
The tanks are also gonna have a much better time once the new tank jungle enchantment hits live. Cinderhulk clear just looks so nice.

I totally disagree. DIVERSITY is where it's at, you have to know your champs better and each requires a different build with items, masteries, and runes. There's no more one size fits all jungling and I love it.

Beyond those mentioned in your post, these champs are all viable in the new jungle:
