User blog comment:Braumissomanly/The current meta and why it sucks...a lot/@comment-1330314-20150408201316/@comment-24896347-20150409041742

Skirmishers for sure needs to be changed, the red smite is quite weird. I mean you don't even need it for dueling, just go into a teamfight and smite someone and they deal 20% less damage for a while. Thornmail is my most hated item in the game currently, the cost efficiency on that item is ridiculous, for 2100 gold you get 100 armour and a ridiculous passive. For 2100 gold you could get 2 wardens mail and that will only get you 90 armour, this gets you 100 armour and a ridiculous passive...

With the recent Cinderhulk and gromp nerfs, Cinderhulk may still remain strong, but thats good, don't want the item to go instinct now. With the gromp nerfs, this will at least make tanks not damage dealing monsters. Glad to see the nerfs not being to much of a over nerf. Now the jungle will finally have so much more different types of junglers, so hell yeah, finally no more Lee sin, Jarvan or Vi every single game.

Mages kind of suck in the jungle, clear speeds are pretty garbage and they take a while to scale into the late game. Hope to see them make a come back.

With the recent changes to Black Cleaver, I fear tanks will disappear again, simply because the armour pen will be ridiculous combined with youmuus and Last Whisper. I don't want tanks to completely disappear, just tuned down a bit, in which they have been, although they are not in the clear yet, they still need to be sorted out (looking at you )
