Dealing with Devourer and its (ab)Users in one elegant swoop.
Sated Devourer Passive now procs on every third hit instead of every second hit.
This accomplishes a number of things. One, we achieve glorious Three-Hit-Combo parity. Praise be to our Three-Hit-Overlords. (You think I didn't notice Aurelion Sol has THREE stars orbiting him, Riot?)
Two, Devourer retains its strength of doubling down on on-hit effects and attack speed, but is immediately less overbearing on those champions who build it. Let's face it: with the exception of Ranged champions, nearly every jungler with Devourer is considered aggravating to deal with at best, and psychotically insane at its worst.
Three, there's no need to hit the Devourer champions with nerfs, except if they remain to be problematic after the Devourer nerf.
Before Devourer, Yi wasn't extremely problematic in high elo. Shyvana wasn't considered that problematic. Yet, ever since its introduction, Shyvana and Yi have traded spotlights on being annoying Devourers, and the only time Devourer wasn't in the spotlight was when Udyr burst forth with the speed of a wayward comet, leaving naught but salty waters in its wake.
When Kindred was released, Devourer was pre-emptively nerfed to ensure it wasn't a suitable choice for Kindred to pick up. A moment, as we pray for our fallen Kayle, casualty of collateral damage. Four hits has thusly ensured that no ranged jungler ever picks up Devourer outside of the occasional Kindred (and let's face it, Kindred often opts for Warrior anyway), but this is also partially because Devourer's synergy with ranged junglers is poor anyway.
So changing it to a universal three-hit passive will make ranged junglers look hopefully in Devourer's direction again, while making melee junglers reconsider their life choices and evaluate their current choices when pursuing gains in LP. Then, from that position of understanding, jungle diversity opens up a little again, Devourer+Guinsoo becomes less "haha, I win" for those who use it, and Shyvana can prance about without her W needing nerfs.
