I was a little nervous about posting this...

Like title says I was nervous, at first, about posting on the upcoming changes to the jungle because personally I have always loved playing tank junglers. It seems that now this will become the new meta, and now it will become increasingly hard to play my dear Sejuani . I have not always played (or even liked) her, but in 5.4 once the changes to stalkers blade came out, I lost interest in playing the off tank junglers i had been: MonkeyKing Hecarim RekSai So then one day I saw Sej in the lcs (yes, i am that player) and started thinking about how her early game ganks are not the worst, or how her ult could turn a fight, so i tried her: loved her. Now my thoughts are that because of Cinderhulk (awesome idea, so excited) she no longer needs a sunfire cape, and can build randuins/banshees. Because of that extra health/armor/slow she will now get off her 2nd or 3rd item, her mid game will be even stronger now. Not to mention the nerfs to the jungle monsters make it easier for her to farm/gank more. What are your thoughts? Are Nautilus' changes enough to compete? Will volibear be up there with Sej as well? Can J4 still be viable if he builds Cinderhulk?

Sej, I think, will be really strong with cinderhulk. I don't think she's going to be banned right away, simply because people don't think of her as a ban-worthy champion yet. also, jungle tanks typically don't warrant bans (they haven't really since the last time Rammus was strong). I will point out, however, that she was well balanced the last time a tank jungle item gave extra hp based on % bonus hp.

In low elo jungle tanks won't be banned, because people don't respect the comp. Yesterday had a game where we lost every single lane, not an exaggeration, every lane lost. End Result: We destroyed the other team completely. We had a completely AOE team composition, their entire team being fed to the gills couldn't stop our wombo.

The key - Sejuani ult, then the others following. I love that poro riding ice girl, but she depends entirely on a good team as building damage on her doesn't play to her strengths.
