Devourer is NOT broken

What's broken is the synergy of some champions kits and on hit items.

Every champion who builds this jungling item always end up building and maybe . The synergy between the champions and these items are too strong.

Also most champions who use this item have some sort of on hit effect in their kit already

Tldr:Devourer isn't op in text, but when combined with these items/champions it makes the item look op.

(Maybe the most op thing about this item is that it's meant to be a late game item but is usually finished around the 20 minute mark. Maybe bringing down the amount of stacks skuttle and dragon give could help stop this or increase the amount of stacks before sated. Other than that, this item really isn't that op.)

Well duh, else it would be like - what was it? - 45 or 55 magic damage on hit, something like that? The point Riot wanted with this is to base off of items like that. They basically laughed in our faces when we said it would be OP, people said to let it go for awhile and see how it turns out, and we waited.

Fuck. That. Item.

I never played jungle 'till this thing. Y'know what I do every time I have to jungle now? FULL TANK JAX. Just build Devourer, build BotRK, and then build full tank and just wreck the enemy team because fuck that, you ignore AA's already, you get bonus armor and magic resist with your ult already, so just build a fuck load of resistances plus Devourer and BotRK and your ult and now you're tanky as fuck and dealing enough damage to kill an ADC in three hits, maybe even 2 if you use your W and Q. And you shred tanks like a fucker, just laugh in their faces as you deal 16% current health to them(probably reduces to like 8-12% with resistances, either way).

Saying that item isn't OP is like saying Rabadon's isn't good at all. Build it on Darius? Of fucking course its useless and stupid and crap, he has no damn use for it. Build Devourer on Katarina? Of course its going to be almost useless, she has no need for it unless she builds a BotRK and either way she's got melee range and unless built tank is squishy af.
