Some champions, like Sejuani and Sion, are objectively too strong right now, so it makes sense to see nerfs on them, though hopefully tank junglers will still remain an awesome and prominent part of the jungle. While I agree that tanks are generally easier to balance, at least through itemization, I think assassins could be a lot easier to adjust if they all followed modern design: champions like and  are nightmares to balance because they tend to either snowball out of control or fail completely, with not much of a middle ground, and AD itemization in general has a lot of holes that give AD casters a hard time building right. On the other hand, assassins like and  are much easier to balance, due to their more modern design (tweaking one ability doesn't destroy their kill potential). In general, the assassin role needs a comprehensive update, and not just the gradual tweaks we've been seeing so far, in order to be less binary, and therefore more balanceable.
