"We have seen that not enough mage champions are utilizing Runeglaive as junglers. We are going to fix this next patch with the introduction of ANOTHER ap jungle item." Enchant: Leviosa +20% attack speed +10% crit chance +15 AP +150% energy regeneration

"Also, we have removed Fiddlesticks. Have fun on the rift summoners."

Have you not seen the buff to runeglaive? and you do understand the change was meant to phase out certain mages in the jungle.

It saddens me. I still remember a time when fiddles and warwick were the only viable junglers. Only a matter of time before warwick gets the boot too.

They both have too high of sustain to ever leave the jungle, warwick literally cant be removed from the jungle without heavily ruining his kit.

Fiddle also can easily survive the jungle even without the current jungle items.

Lack of speed is what may leave fiddles out of the jungle though..

That has always been his problem, early game speed. Magus didn't change that. His early clears will ALWAYS be bad. The point is you utilize the fact that you can ninja dragon and stay healthy if you aren't bothered in your jungle.

I still find that I end up a few levels behind where most junglers should be. Not to mention his slow speed leaves him susceptible to counter jungles.

He wasn't made to be a Jungler, Just like how blitz wasn't made to be a support. You either have to feed off lanes and get some good ganks between long camp grinds, or dont play him as jungle.

blitz was never made for support? really? lol that surprised me xD All that CC Blitzcrank

He was actually meant to be a Brusier, much like what we see top lane and in jungle.

Everything was for him to stick to targets while he bullies them.

I should give that a whirl :p

Look at it this way, His E is literally a built in Trinity Force (does +100% total AD damage)

I actually think blitz being pulled down into a support roll along with Alistar being a heavy CC tank type support pre-season/season 1 was what shaped new support champions to be that way. There arn't many recent traditional supports, (Soraka, Janna, Sona, Nami, Lulu) that focus alot on buffing/healing your ally rather than heavy CC

ehhh soraka used to be traditional. since her rework I find it easier to build her sortanka. Soraka item 3083 item 3065

My point was just to explain that she is part of the traditional support archetype.

yeah the whole heal/shield situation. Like where karma used to be.

I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude, but I understand neither your comment nor your involvement in the conversation? Seems like you just told me I failed at something out of the blue. summoner 4
