State of Mage Junglers After 4.11 Machete Changes - Paging Morello and Relevant Reds

Reading the patch notes, I'm really afraid of how the machete changes will affect mage junglers such as Karthus, Fiddle, Nami, and Lulu. I mean, I guess it isn't as bad for Nami and Lulu because part of their ability comes from their autos (Nami E and Lulu passive empowered), but it still weakens them quite a bit, at least until their first back, but this delays that a fair bit fit many of them. I guess Fiddle never really had a problem, but it is definitely an indirect nerf to him.

I mean, I know these aren't the most popular junglers, Fiddle does see post but you'll often get accused of trolling for picking many other mages since they aren't common picks, even if they are effective, but that doesn't mean they should be forgotten. I mean, I've been accused of trolling for picking tanks like Naut, Nunu, and Leona, yet Riot hasn't forgotten about them, please don't forget about our magic using buddies.

I think in general the machete changes will help mage junglers.

The issue with mage junglers is that they have a really hard time on their first clear. The machete changes will make them take less damage, and therefore they'll be able to clear better (and be less vulnerable to invades).
