So they removed Devourer and made Guinsoo extremely expensive.

Edit:Should stop posting on the NA Boards. People here are basically the diggers on this picture.

The joke was, what did Riot put as a "counterweight" to keep the game broken as there's always something to compensate.

Devourer is pretty much the basis of how certain champions jungle right now. So maybe RIOT is planning to buff some jungle champions? idk, just a thought.

Only Shyvana, Yi, Xin and Kayle take a huge advantage from it. And on everyone else it's confusing.

Shyv, Yi, Xin, Kayle, Warwick, and sometimes Kindred and a few others. From this change, the only ones being hurt by it are Xin and Yi.

Shyv and WW can now Jungle till 6, take drag on their own time (level 3 dragons, anyone?), and gank post-6 whenever they have ult. They don't have to worry about stacking anymore, which is great for them.

Kayle and Kindred didn't ever get devourer for the on-hit double-proc, it got nerfed to the shitter for them. They got it for the attack speed. They LOOOOOVE this, especially Kindred who is focused on early ganks, which this item allows for. (more so than Devourer, at least)

Yi needed this nerf, but he'll still love the physical damage. The nerf to this means you only have to build 2 stats against him instead of 3, now. HP and Armor, he won't do enough magic damage anymore to matter. (Guinsoos being super expensive, Bloodrazor doing Physical dmg)

Xin will suffer for I estimate about 2 patches from this. They'll buff him, he'll be op for 1-2 patches, then he'll be fine in both lane and jungle. So 3-4 patches from 6.9 (so around 6.12) Xin will FINALLY be viable in lane again and not just jungle. Overall a huge plus for Xin.

So basically, overall, Yi is the only one who got truly hurt by it, which makes me SO happy because I'm sick of seeing him...

Well i forgot about Warwick and Kindred can make Warrior aswell.

Anyway, the amount of champions that could use this was too damn low. The item itself was basically a buff for champs that couldn't do without it. I like the new item though.

You are forgetting how badly WW was nerfed because of Devourer.

is no one else realizing that they put devourers passive on guinsoos?

devourer now grants 3% max health damage instead of its old passive, and guinsoos now has devourers double hit passive.

why does anyone think this item combination wont be exactly as strong as before anymore? they basically just traded passives. devourer is the on-hit damage item now, and rageblade amplifies that damage.

plus, the real villain here is fervor. something everyone always overlooks. its what made tanky on hit builds really viable in the first place. its 112 item independent physical on hit damage at lvl 18.

And Guinsoo costs a lot more and 3% health damage isn't as strong as you may think.
