instead they'll continually nerf anyone who abuses it. instead of just realizing it's an inherently unhealthy item that gives a massive power spike once completed.

Maybe because they didn't, and the current strength of it is due to old coding in champions, as well as highly favorable itemization and meta at the current time.

Sated Devourer last year was hardly a problem (ranged champions came up once, but that was quickly fixed). All other users were hardly a problem.

With the new preseason, rageblade provides enough damage, and items like titanic hydra and sterek's gage provide the durability that punishing these champions becomes a lot harder.

Also: "massive powerspike when completed" you mean like every other damage (and most tank) items in the game? In fact, those items all provide a stronger more immediate powerspike, as opposed to devourer which needs to be farmed up first

Sated Dev has been a problem since it was released. You don't remember the daily "Delete Devourer" threads with 200+ upvotes?

Yeah, and those people are the ones that like to complain about everything that beats them, particularly when they don't do anything different against it.

Only people that didn't know how to properly counter it had a problem with devourer last season (again, except for the very brief ranged case, which was promptly remedied)
