Sated Devourer ruins soloq

Sated Devourer brings back the time of feral flare, where junglers return to afk farming until 20-25 minutes in soloq. Besides the fact that the item is a tad too strong on the only champs that get that item, yi, udyr, shyv, etc, it ruins the experience of teams vs non Devourer junglers because its 4v5 for a good portion of the game. This makes most games turn into toxic shitstorms cuz by the time the jungler gets sated the team is yelling at everyone and it just ruins the experience. I have gotten so many games since the patch like this. Besides the fact that the item deserves a nerf on stats, it should be more rewarding for kills and assists, like more stacks for kills and assists to promote ganks. Soloq is a tough place for junglers to be loved but this item isn't doing junglers any favors.

Been playing Xin and I disagree, I get stacks just as fast killing people as jungle mobs, everything is game. The only thing worth going out of my way a bit for is rift scuttlers.

It's ruining every mode at every level.

I haven't had that happen. I still gank as much as is needed. Kills count as well. So it is beneficial. The only thing I will literally go for immediately is the rift scuttler. Pretty good at building stacks. It only takes me maybe 10 minutes to get sated devourer it seems. All the while I'm getting jungle camps from both jungles, scuttlers for vision, and ganking any lane that needs it. Its not like Feral Flare because you don't just AFK farm for half the game.

It's not as bad as people think. The way it stacks encourages you to get objectives and ganks (2 stacks for scuttler, 5 for dragon). It doesn't promote afk farming the entire game because it's not infinitely scaling anymore and caps off at 30 stacks, which doesn't take that long to complete.

You act like people weren't already toxic shitstorms by the 20 minute mark
