Devour need a nerf?

Devour is this item that takes a while to build up granted, but even for how long it takes it is still too strong of an item. two reasons this item is not good are: it makes jung want to stay in jg more and leave lanes to fend for the same to "carry" late game, bad. and it give too much strrength to junglers wh can be strong by themselfs, it makes them un killable, due to rageblade and bork, its rediculous, i mean i use to main shyvanna, and she was okay before dev, and after everyone complained about her being op, but it wasnt her guys, this itme makes champs into unwanted monsters, if you take it out junglers still have warriors and cinderhulk they dont need this "carry" item, like plz it ruins the game

It's been nerfed twice. If their jungler isn't ganking and just farming, make sure yours is taking advantage of it and ganking and putting pressure in other lanes.

You can also group for objectives and force them to either decide between farming or grouping.

There's only one problem with your comment....I can't make my team play any way. I can't make our jungler gank and take advantage early and I can't make my team group for objectives.

I'll be curious to see if it's picked in LCS. It doesn't seem like it would be since they can just shut it down in ways you mentioned....which doesn't really make it a "balanced" item in my opinion.

It was picked once or twice that I can remember

And that's why it wasn't really picked, either, because they know how to play around it and the possible risks of trying to stack it. Junglers in LCS tend to go for a lot of early game pressure too, which means they aren't going to be afk farming in the jungle and ganking more often.

And it's perfectly balanced. It has it's risks and has it's rewards.

Devourer has literally never been viable in competitive say so it's just a matter of adjusting and adapting vs those jungle styles. I know Hai played Shyvanna with Devourer 2x but that's not enough to say it's viable and nor were any of the supposed "OP" Devourer junglers banned.
