We can't wait 3 months for post-Worlds patch to see something being changed already. This adc meta is way to hard to oppose to as Garen Darius No matter how much armor you get item 3036 . No matter how much you heal item 3165 item 3033 . Getting 1v1d in late game by Tryndamere Riven (item 3046 /item 3812) when you try to protect side lanes. Mobile champions pressure map so damn better with all these jumps and stuff and they also able to wreck butts. This is just... Ugrh... Not to mention item 3026. Srsly just bring back old GA. Why would AD champions get more free AD from defensive item? They already got extra AD from mastery system. And this stuff. item 3504 Twitch TristanaJanna Lulu. How am I supposed to get them with damn Darius Garen ? Ok may be this one isn't job for these champions. Then what are they supposed to do? As I mentioned earlier they can't protect sidelanes in deep late game. They do not provide any useful utility for team or reliable CC. Just in last game I simply got flamed by my team just for PICKING Darius. And they were right on this one. I couldn't even argue about that cuz I literally did not anything useful. I come to clear topside? Lategame skirmisher fights me (Try to fight 6 slots Riven with GA and DD or Tryndamere with PD as juggernaut) or simply retreat to his team way way faster than I'm allowed to. What else I'm supposed to do? Just avoid skirmisher in queue? Really? What else am I supposed to avoid? Ranged bruisers? Mages? Duelists? Pick the jugg just to counter the tanks? Shen Maokai Sejuani ? Ha! Do you even know they are all able to farm pretty much safely? Or they're able to retreat with 3 stacks after they used all their vital CC? They back off and I already lost 50% HP in teamfight. They still have counterplay against me. What I got against lategame kite-poke-simple all in by skirmershers? Pretty much NOTHING. It bugs me so damn hard.

You can change couple of numbers to make them at least more viable. Not even buffs. Just extra damage dealing against super minions and objectives. So at atleast I would be able to clear damn sidelanes for the sake of my team.

P.S I can already see how people from lower divisions will start downvoting and complaining about "why are you allowed to be tanky and deal 9999 dmg!?!?!?". No. This isn't like that since patch 5.20. If word of my D3 butt isn't enough for you then listen to the damn pros on their YT videos. They all say how trashy these champs are.

Honestly, I don't think juggernauts are ever going to be really good. I'm maining Shen again after having a decent run with Nasus, I was somewhat hoping after the direct buffs he would be a bit better, but he's at what a 47% in Diamond+? Literally nothing changed.

Too much shit in this game counters immobile melee champs. A user on the boards made a post a while ago saying that Riot would have to literally break Juggernauts to make them work. Just look at the recent Nasus changes lol for days people came on the boards bitching how OP he was then all of a sudden nothing, you always get that one guy but overall those threads disappeared.

The recent Garen changes we're on point, the passive, the E damage buff and the W tenacity add on which in my opinion all juggernauts could use in their kits.(adjust power elsewhere)

As for Nasus, I would have gladly given up the 50%cdr bonus for q that was tacked in to his R for a new passive (maybe more interesting than lifesteal?) Or W changes.

In my experience the last time I had a blast with Nasus was Season 5. I also think preseason 8 isn't going to be kind to our juggernaut friends but we need to wait and find out.
