As you can see, Cinderhulk still suffers from the last nerf it that it was recieved to it. Previous "well known" junglers used to buy Cinderhulk (Gragas, Elise, Ekko, Sejuani, maybe Amumu), but now they buy a better/much "damagable" version of Cinderhulk, that it, Runic Echoes.

Either we see changes to Cinderhulk junglers or we just admit that Cinderhulk is trash since the nerf.

Naw... 15% reduction of health from 30%-15% isn't THAT big... kappa.

It was actually from 300 HP + 25% bonus health to 400 HP + 15% bonus health. Rito wanted to "buff their early game", which was a disaster.

Some of the problem with the item is it isn't good enough. Some of the problem with the item is tank junglers have always been a bit of a problem for riot to get right.

Early Cinderhulk was great, it was just Sejuani and Gragas that were too strong with it.

They nerfed Sej, and then nerfed Cinderhulk. Everyone else who was balanced with the early Cinderhulk has suffered as a result.

Honestly, that thing just doesn't give enough stats to survive the early game (except for those junglers who scale with health like Volibear ), it feels extremely meh as a starting item for junglers, especially in these days where it is stomp or be stomped.
