TrickZ emerged to be CLG's main shotcaller instantly. While Dexter is used to talk LoL in English language could still be hurdle to become the leader of the team immediately.

Blurg. They still haven't addressed that not only is he a melle Assassin/Carry, but that he also is manaless. You know, combining 2 things that are hard to balance in one.

While they said in some interviews after the trickz & Aphro pickup that they are happy they have a jungler that talks and takes the initiative to make calls, Doublelift in his Post IEM Travis interview said that they pretty much always called him down for boot ganks, so either nerves or he just isn't the shotcaller they desired. Which is probably the reason they released him again.

wriggles is trash because by the time you get it your lanes are taking 80% of the jungle mobs
Be nice, buy wards and don't feed double buff.

if they put the extra gold passive, or a weakened version of it on the mandreds part that would do a lot to make wriggles better, make the investment pay off sooner.

That, and it has stats no one wants to itemize for.

Attack speed on a mid-range item? Seriously? What kind of melee attacking champion (ie jungler) wants to itemize attack speed going into a mid game fight?

Riot just leaving the item trash cuz they hate laning champs buying jungle items for some asinine reason. That and it's stat value is maybe 1k in combat stats at best.... Where as spirit items are all in the 2500 range f for 2k gold and a better passive.

Just wait, wriggle's is going to be trash until they decide to tune it like how they tuned BotRK in pre-s3 and it's going to be OP for a day before they have to hotfix it to merely "strong" levels.

Well.

Wriggle's Lantern gives you a ward because with the red trinket you otherwise might not have enough slots after midgame.

And that defeats the Wriggles purpose. I mean, if you get Wriggle, you and your team should plan to have you as a carry jungler. If they take your farm, then you're obviously not the carry, so wriggle or not, it's null.
Wriggle is item for carry, so if you don't have your farm, that's not the wriggle's fault, it's the team comp fault.

Nasus is a tank
Jax is a regular bruiser
Trynd has 6 second immunity to all damage and he doesnt see much competitive play anyways

Riven is the only maybe applicable one here but still plays more like an assassin

Master Yi is the closest I would say to what a melee carry is by the standard definition

Riven imo doesn't count, Riven is a caster...

Master Yi and Fiora are melee carries. Both are shit.

To get the benefit of Wriggle's gold generation you need to farm up 1800 gold before you can benefit from it. Given that jungle is even harder now at early levels, you won't be able to get Wriggle's completed until maybe your 3rd full clear. That's a long time to be farming for an item that's basically only used for gold generation since its stats are pretty trash.

It also locks you out of buying the spirit stone items, which are still pretty good stat-wise. On top of that, the spirit stone items generate comparable amounts of gold while actually having relevant stats, making Wriggle's seem even worse in comparison.

Whether an item is good or not isn't simply if the item performs well in a vacuum, but also how it is relative to other items. An item can give you 100 AD for 300 gold, but no one would ever buy it if there's another item that gives 500 AD for 350 gold. That's basically the issue of Wriggle's v. Spirit Stone items.

Plus, its not that Melle carries in lol can't be good, its that they cant be good on a sustained and balanced basis. Of those, only Jax and Nasus have ever been "balanced" for several patch cycles. Those 2 also happen to be the Bruiser/Tank (why am I even talking about them anymore?) and they happen to use mana.

Yi is not an auto-attack all-star if that's our definition (see :Riven alternatively). I'm not sure why people are so eager to have a full class cannon AD melee character design. It only works if the hero can get either hugely more powerful than the opposition, or spend significant portions of time completely uncounterable, or both. And really none of that is much fun to play against.
