Any verdict thus far on Quill Coat / Tanky Jungler buffs?

With exams approaching for me and projects before that, I haven't had a chance to be involved in the game lately.

How have the tanky junglers been doing with the new Quill Coat and SotAG? Are they better compared to meta jungle picks or do the meta junglers just buy the same items and succeed?

Thanks

How it will affect competitive play remains to be seen for now, but from my experience it's a straight upgrade from the old Golem (except the Tenacity loss, rip) so for solo queue it's only an improvement.

Well unfortunately the item is better on Elise, Vi, or Jarvan than it is on Sejuani (siiiiigh) but it doesn't really increase their power while it definitely makes sej better

It certainly helps their sustain quite a bit. Sej can actually come out for a gank with mana now.

It's made a huge difference. You can do some fun stuff like run straight percent health seals/quints to make any new health you buy get multiplied by ~1.4x. Just wrote a post about all the math behind it, but the TLDR; summary is that tank junglers can stack health early to get more effective health now. Also sustain is way better, and you can use the mini creeps as free health/mana potions if you clear all but one creep and sit there while it attacks you XD. Also, free ward.
