Old Jung Items?

Hello Riot! So, many people have been wondering what has (or will) become of the old jungle items? are they gone forever? I mean, i agree that the new smite and jungle items are super cool! My only problem is, they take wayyyyyyyyyyytoo long to build! Also, they dont have some of the functionality the old items did (i.e. free sight ward!) they also leave an empty place in my heart for my tanky junglers! just take a look at how much help the quill coat did for Chogath and tank MonkeyKing ! mainly, it leaves our poor tanks in the dust when it comes to jungling and ganking against champions MasterYi and Warwick, the two most popular candidates for Blowing things off the face of the earth while still 3 levels under you ganking and sustain are just too powerful and fast against a tanky jungler. now our best pick for a tank would never be able to tank blue until about level 5-6let alone compete with the offensive junglers! But seriously, can we get more support for our tanky junglers out there in the rift? spirit of the elder golem was my bread and butter! Now my MonkeyKing is just burnt toast :( X

Because there is no conservation passive, you don't need to rush the enchantment.

Try sitting on item 3713 for a while and get armor or a sightstone (or whatever you need) before you finish it with item 3725. It's a better option for a tanky jungler than Golem ever was because you don't lose out on gold if you don't rush it.

I usually rush it on a damage jungler but on something tanky like Rammus it's probably better to delay it until you get boots, armor (maybe item 3075 ) and whatnot.

Uhhh it's only 350 gold just for the second build. The enchantments are not really a necessity builds to build unless you wanna hold your Deathcap/Tank builds for later.
