And ever since those two items, there's been more jungle diversity...

Or do you remember early season when it was JarvanIVVi RekSai LeeSin ?

Now we see XinZhao Shyvana Ekko Elise Amumu Diana Nocturne Gragas Skarner TahmKench Nidalee Jax Zac MasterYi Olaf Nautilus and more. All of which are viable.

diversity isn't always a good thing, sated devourer does nothing but take advantage of solo queue mentality and rewards play against teams that don't coordinate... it adds a "time bomb" element to the game that doesn't need to be in the game

you know what actually FUN diversity in the jungle was? season 3

LeeSin JarvanIV Zac Elise Amumu MonkeyKing Pantheon Maokai Khazix Fiddlesticks Nasus Rammus Skarner Aatrox Evelynn Nunu DrMundo Rengar Nocturne Vi Fiddlesticks

and some modern picks from today's game like RekSai Ekko and new Gragas

THOSE were all AWESOME picks and i actually liked playing against all of these champs in jungle. when it gets to Diana MasterYi XinZhao Shyvana then the game stops being fun

the idea of sated devourer is fundamentally flawed because it promotes doing things like being very passive and is way too reliable in solo queue. additionally, it destroys low elo because the champs that use it have such a low skill floor that they can win in champ select because uncoordination and lack of skill or game knowledge can completely screw teams. so many of that season 3 pool that i just listed literally can't deal with a sated jg unless their lead is huge

this game is just straight up more fun to play with no devourer. it's pretty much as simple as that

I would say the removal of Magus hurt diversity more than the addition of Runeglaive.

Sated Devourer isn't viable in pro play because carry jungler is not META. In pro play, the jungler needs to help laners get ahead and carry. Pro level junglers get Sightstones like Season 3 supports. Devourer is solo queue cheese.
