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
Cloud Potato1 votesHow 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.
MrSc0tty1 votesWell 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
KSHarrison1 votesI was worried about decoupling the common dependence on tankiness of bruisers and tanks; that is, helping tanky junglers via buffing tanky stats just means bruisers buy the tanky stats themselves.

It's not. Elise and Vi have too fast clears to use its passive, not sure about Jarvan.
GundayMonday1 votesI respectfully disagree. Sej is a monster with the new item running % hp runes. Check your math.
Funster1 votesIt certainly helps their sustain quite a bit. Sej can actually come out for a gank with mana now.
KSHarrison1 votesOk that's cool to know. Are your Sej games going better for you then?

Of course. I think she might become a viable pick... too bad her early game still hurts. Anyway its hard, because everything she does, Amumu does better and easier.
The only thing Sejuani is better at are long range initations.
GundayMonday1 votesIt'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.

KSHarrison1 votesThanks I actually replied in your thread already :) Interesting post!
GundayMonday1 votesAh kk, I'm at work multitasking so I missed it. A little harder to see who's who in the new forum too. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the best way to use this as well, so let me know if you have any ideas!
