Sated Devourer is making better LoL players.
Hear me out here. Although it does need a nerf at the same level runeglaive is getting, it has already and is continuing to teach some LoL players some good habits and lessons. .
Let's start with what it doesn't help though, because there are bad habits it will give people:
The idea of going into the whole enemy team to get one kill, and saying it was "worth" because you got the stack. I think a nerf option for this is to make dying take a stack away.
There is also the problem of not helping your laners for a long time. If they are too focused on farming, their laners can easily lose the game from the beginning.
There is also the idea that the players are gods once they get it sated. They think they can then fight enemies that are more fed than them, or enemies that have cc that can simply deny them. .
Now here is what some people needed to learn from the item:
It teaches junglers to clear more often. I am guilty of ganking too much as well, and I end up behind the enemy jungler in farm quite often. However now people are encouraged to make a full clear of their jungle before and/or after helping a lane.
It teaches everyone the importance of the scuttle crab. By doubling the number of stacks you get from it, junglers tend to clear it whenever they can, which is really good for the vision and the gold it gets them.
It teaches some people to look at their map. When they aren't too busy farming, they will notice that the bot laners are low and there is an easy two kills that need to be secured. This gives the junglers stacks, and it helps the laners.
It teaches people to group to fight more often. It gives the opportunity to get stacks by doing this. Winning those teamfights are how games are won.
It teaches people that assists are okay too. Regardless of whether or not the jungler gets the kill, he/she will be happy. .
Think what you want of this, but I believe that Sated Devourer will be very helpful to the community in the long run, even if many people hate it right now.
. It has gotten much more difficult since then; I have been getting invaded constantly every single game, the enemy keeps trying to ambush me at scuttle crabs, and enemy laners play their lanes really aggro to try and force me out of the jungle. And it works. I went from 14 kills a game to barely 4 and winning every single game to not even winning half of them.
. It would just make jungling a living hell if your getting camped in your jungle or if your team is super behind. So far devourer seems fine to me its only been out for a few days. Really counter this sort of item is to play junglers like
who have very strong early game and can get your team ahead against a devourer jungler. Champs like
are also great since he can just make you feel useless and lose out on farm getting you more behind since farmer junglers rely on farm to carry.
