i've yet to see a jungler use it effectivley.
its not devourer thats broken. its bork. the passive is op. devourer wouldnt nearly be half as powerful with other on hit items, or just the champions on hit effets.
ive yet to see a champion who rushes devourer with nashors tooth, or wits end. nope, they all go devourer, bork and build the rest tank.
Any JG that build devourers is counter played by wards (to stop the instagib ganks which help feed the snowball) and thornmail + randuin's or spirit visage (depending on the champ). Every time I've seen a person complain about Devourer's it is because they were deleted but never bought any defensive items and expected the support to ward the entire map.
If I'm playing and I see a Yi, Xin or any other AD nuke in the jungle I know they are going for that bonus on hit dmg and BOTRK. Well you better believe I'm rushing thornmail because it is hilarious to watch those champs 1 hit K.O. themselves. I'll also be buying wards on every return simply because I know my teammates are like a wandering pack of baby ducklings oblivious to the dangers lurking in the tall grass. Its my job to make sure they don't fuck up big time and get devoured.
I think the devourer is a strong Item but it is not as OP as the changes made to Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
The changes made to Rylai's are more devastating. For reference just looking up the top highest win rate champions you'll see that over the course of the past week it has been dominated by AP champs. Every AP champ has seen a 1% increase in their wins and the champs that were already doing well have seen upwards of 4-5% increases (looking at you Malzahar, ahri, and hiemerdinger).
Understandable it was blind but there's ways around it and honestly in soloq from what I've seen and experienced nobody pays attention to counterplay i could be wrong. there's more than Tf with good stuns to stop him
