Sated devourer is disgustingly broken right now

Packun Flower··122 votes·24,074 views

The power this item is giving champs is off the charts. I have never seen Riot allow such a broken item such as this to ever ht the live server. Fearl flare was no where near as bad as what this item is doing.

Seriously this thing should have never been allowed to hit live.

I just played Kayle Jungle for the first time this Patch.

I typically play Kayle as my Top Laner, but I like to play her Jungle too. I wanted to see how broken this item was.

After farming for a while, as soon as I hit 30 stacks I recalled and got my stuff. Immediately after I got 3 kills and I turret dived the enemy team Viktor and Rumble, and killed them without them being able to really respond to it. The Rumble and Viktor were both pretty fed too. The most messed up part, is not that I instakilled them while taking almost 0 damage in return under their own turret with minions helping them, but was the fact I was so powerful I held their team hostage in their own base with all 3 Inhibitor Turrets up. Actually, I don't even think bot lane's inner turret was even down. I was eventually killed due to CC, but, it was still pretty pathetic.

We would of most likely lost that game, aside from the fact we had a Syndra hit late game, but I ended up taking half their team hostage for so long that all of the other lanes were able to push effectively and there wasn't much they could do about it.

Same deal, I used Kayle in the jungle to test this item out.

I got killed 3 times in the early game, was 0/3 when I got Sated Devourer, their WW was doing great, he was 8 and 1 at a certain point in the game. He finished 8/6.

Long story short, the other team ended up forfeiting. This item is seriously broken right now. I hit full build and while yes Kayle is known for late game team shredding, the speed at which she can do it with Sated Devourer is just flat out insane right now. I can't imagine how Yi, Shyvana and Vayne are with this item.

I know Yi is probably the most overpowered champion in the game right now due to Sated. Most of his damage is True Damage now.

Zyra's passive doesn't do a whole lot. Vel'Koz's passive is highly underrated and never expected. Twitch's is... meh at best. Rek'Sai's is conditional and not that high. Corki's is decent. Ahri's not that high. Irelia's is pretty good with attackspeed. Also you forgot Kog'MawKogMaw

I wish Zyra's passive was a stronger execute. It only feels really helpful when the fight was so close another tick of ignite would have killed them.

Cool story bro, but WW is a sated jungler too. If he ulted you, you'd die instantly. I agree though, the item needs to be removed... sick of seeing 5-6 bans each game dedicated to Sated junglers.

Uh no, because once I'm out of his ult I press R, E, W, and boop, I start shredding him and he dies before my invincibility even runs out.

Try out Aatrox with this build: item 3930 item 3153 item 3143 item 3047 item 3065 item 3172 . All in all you are extremely tanky and can survive a shit storm or deal one out depending on which W forme you choose to use

The Animation might bug out sometimes, but the effects of the Double Heal/Damage still work normally. They just need to clean up the animations is all

Nah Aatrox with item 3931item 3074item 3153item 3072item 3512 with ninja tabi or merc. You will have lots of attack damage, 42% lifesteal, tons of durability in a fight, and enough attack speed.

I feel if you leave out the Spirit Visage and Omen you leave yourself to be easily taken out by burst damage before you are able to do anything

Warwick uses it well too. The sustain with his passive, item 3930 and item 3153... I didn't need defensive items for about 35 minutes. I only got tanky because I died with 4.4k gold.

Of course, the trade off is the need to power farm or secure Dragons, Barons, or kills. If you hit that Sated power spike... good luck enemy team. But if your lanes are losing, you're too busy farming to help. Not saying it's balanced, but there at least is a trade off. Meaningful or not

It's funny, my game where I was playing as Kayle was against a WW.

And honestly it was like no one else existed on the battle field, he and I were the only ones making massive impacts with the damage.

And honestly, you can get Sated pretty fast while still ganking lanes.

Just prioritize Dragon and Scuttle Crab whenever you can, and you're golden.

So what? Just because it doesn't literally break the game doesn't mean they didn't make a horrible design decision (For the second time in a row, RIP Flare). Hell, they gave on-hit Ezreal a new toy to abuse then instead of nerfing him they're to nerf the item. So, there's three.

It's no different than facing Nasus Veigar Sion Singed. If you let these guys free farm without challenging them at all for the first 20-25 minutes then you deserve to lose. With some champs, along with the new devourer, there is an imaginary clock running in the background. You are under pressure to get an early lead to offset their late game power spike. If you fail to do that then you deserve to lose, because before their power spike comes around they are very easy to take out and feed on.

Sated Devourer promote a horrible kind of gameplay. Farm all games then carry team. Not exactly interactive and fun.

Then if you fell behind with devourer it just suck. All your camps get taken by enemy/your team so you can't get stacks. You just feel useless.

How he conclusion that this is what we needed in the meta to stop tank's is beyond me. I have been playing kench lately and after my sight stone I rush frozen heart. Whether it's a yi, kayle, udyr, shyvana, or vayne. their attack speed won't let up from the aura...Thorn mail doesn't help. Even at full build I can't do a damn thing to them. They systematically wipe out my team with the bork and true damage proc's. If the item's that are meant to stop these kind of champs aren't working then something is wrong with that item. Riot please don't do stupid shit like this.

One day Riot will learn to listen to PBE. We said that from the moment the item was released for us, and like usual, Riot ignored us.

So when the season 3 black cleaver came out in the first place, I gave rito the benefit of the doubt (even though they really should have seen that coming). But how did they figure in any way, shape or form that this was going to be a good idea? I just had a game where the udyr who had bork, devourer and triforce crushed our team almost single handedly.

But it's pretty clear that pbe opinion is worth absolutely nothing to rito. May as well stay away from ranked for a while until this shit is nerfed.
