Devourer is only good in low elo, Except Kindred, she's fucking broken. No one currently in gold (was plat last year just recently got back into ranked) where i'm playing is even banning Kindred which is quite a shock, but everyone bans Shyvana or Yi.
Anyways, I rarely ever see Rageblade. I think so far in the 21 ranked games i've played this season I've only seen rageblade twice and it was on Jax/Irelia.
I've even got the pleasure of versing a Yi in one of those games and he was never able to get off. I was able to successfully Invade and control lanes/Objectives and win the game before he even got to 20 stacks. Same thing with a Shyvana I went against, she was too weak early game and was able to just snowball my leads out of control.
I'm not sure where this concept of "Rageblade makes champions into gods" came from on these boards, It's only ever good to buy as a first item on top laners if you are super far ahead. Buying that item makes you extremely vulnerable mid game because you give up resistances/health. Health is by far the strongest stat to have mid game so giving up health for damage mid game is a huge risk to take.
I get that low elo players don't understand how to combat a stacking Yi/Shyvana, but they can't nerf those champions into the ground just because bronze/silver players can't play against it, because if they did then Diamond/Plat players wouldn't get to play them. Then we wouldn't have such a big pool of jungle diversity this year.
Jungle diversity has been the best it's been in the past 3 years that I've been playing this game. In season 3 we only had like Elise/Lee, I don't even remember season 4 so it must have been boring as shit, season 5 had the god awful jungle tank meta who everyone claims on these boards that it was the "best" jungle era, but tanks where broken at the time because they delt retarded amounts of damage and scaled incredibly well AND where unkillable. Cinderhulk was so broken that warrior junglers just started using Cinderhulk instead. Season 6 we can finally play marksman in other roles, which is something that's never happened in my time of playing the game and I find that incredibly exciting. Marksmen are incredibly fun to play and I love the jungle marksman playstyle at the moment. Graves and Kindred do need some nerfs, but I hope riot doesn't shut them out of the meta completely. Honestly I think most of the people here who complain on these boards about jungle marksmen haven't even tried them out for themselves or are just incapable of playing them. Which I find baffling because they are pretty easy to play compared to Lee.
So you're telling me that I can run Runic Echo's on Lee sin and win the game? You just said that I can run Runic on everyone, which doesn't make a lot of sense. Only most of the tank junglers and ap junglers run that item and that's fine, but saying everyone runs it is just absurd. I will agree however that tanks using the item is a bit of a problem since the item designed for them was Cinderhulk, but that item needs a complete rework in my honest opinion because damage is the stat to have early for junglers and mid game health becomes stronger. If they buff Cinderhulk again it'll only make tank junglers broken again which is a huge problem. Jungle is by far the most balanced this patch than ever (except for Kindred) because we can literally play anything. We can play every single champion category in the jungle. Marksmen, fighters, assassins, tanks, and even mages. They're all at least viable in the jungle. I couldn't say the same for the previous seasons I've played in.
