@xypherous: Please don't make jungle tanks blatantly superior to top tanks.

Jungle tanks in the next patch are getting a cheaper and more powerful sunfire, in addition to gromp buff scaling on 10% bonus HP (which is HUGE.)

This just straight up makes jungle tanks better than top (or other lane tanks) for absolutely no reason. Simply because they went jungle they get to have a cheaper and more effective sunfire, in addition to a MASSIVE late game boon due to the gromp buff (which will be doing +200 damage over 3 seconds due to the change on most tanks, which when combined with thorrnmail is ... scary.)

If given the option I would choose the cheaper and more powerful sunfire over sunfire in every situation. That's just wrong.

tanks are slowly being pushed out of every role, including top. Lay off

upvoting hashinshin post because it is true.

The new jungle item will out scale sunfire in all rights once the owner gets 356 bonus health if I am doing the math right. aka it is more cost effective then sunfirre the moment you get it and it scales better in all cases assuming you get any more health items..

Sunfire cap is generally considered to be a inefficient item lategame, I'm not sure if you should be comparing this new item to sunfire. If a game goes long enough (past 6 item) you sell sunfire for a more cost efficient item.

You have to remember a jungler gets a lot less gold than a top laner which means junglers will hit there items later, this is the main reason why tanks like maokai went top lane because they need the gold to get tanky fast. A jungle tank generally will not be as tanky as a top lane tank mid game, also late game I don't think the extra dmg will be that big of a deal since the team fight will probably be decided on other things like positioning, team comps etc. Not saying the dmg isn't great but when you put it in perspective of adc, and apc dmg late game it doesn't seem so significant. Just my opinion may be wrong
