Sated Devourer and Ranged Champions

With Patch 5.19, Sated Devourer is changed to: PHANTOM HIT FOR RANGED CHAMPIONS every 2nd hit ⇒ every 4th hit PHANTOM HIT FOR MELEE CHAMPIONS unchanged

Off-Meta Ranged junglers like , , and are getting a significant, but deserved, nerf. However, melee junglers like , and are allowed to continue destroying everyone.

For fairness, Devourer should be changed to the following: PHANTOM HIT FOR RANGED CHAMPIONS every 4th hit PHANTOM HIT FOR MELEE CHAMPIONS every 3rd hit

OR, the less desirable of the two: PHANTOM HIT FOR RANGED CHAMPIONS every 3rd hit PHANTOM HIT FOR MELEE CHAMPIONS unchanged

This would allow niche, off-meta ranged junglers (and Kindred) to still function, while toning down melee junglers, or give ranged junglers a smaller nerf.

Sated Dev just needs a change altogether, ur lucky enough it scales with that eff, but giving it an extra effect over the others just isnt right.

Ok, let's be real here. A change from 2nd to 3rd hit would mean it takes one more round of 3 auto's to charge up - after that, it applies pretty much the same. Every second auto would apply on-hits. On the other hand, changing it to every fourth means it would only activate half as much. I mean, the phantom hit's not a double attack. WIth TF, it'd just charge up his E a little faster. Having it at every 3 instead of 2 would actually be pretty devastating. You wouldn't see the circle around him when it's up, because when he's at 2 auto's, his next will activate Dev and proc E. No idea why Kayle's in the list. Does it double her E damage or something? Double poison on Teemo's pretty bad, yeah, I agree. Seriously wondering why I didn't see more Vayne jg with both how op she is considered right now, and with the every second auto W proc with Dev.

Yi. Double Wuju Style proc is actually pretty bad - that true damage kills you. XIn. Way too many heals, especially with his attack speed. Shyv. No idea how this applies to her.

Other examples: Vi. Not played too often right now, but I'd imagine it'd be devastating with a BoRK, on that armor breaking and percent damage of max life on her W. Aatrox. Also not played as much, but mostly it's cuz grabbing the Dev kinda kills his early game damage. ...All I can think of right now.
