So Riot about the PBE devourer change

Shadow Hazard··1 votes·312 views

Most people are assuming it is because of the power it gives to the melee champs that can take advantage of on-hits (rageblade/hydra). First big question is if it isn't what is the reason. I am sure many wont be patient to wait till the official live patch to see why.

Another point that may have been missed is that this will hurt the range junglers(kindred/kayle) that commonly take devourer also who aren't leaders of the pack for junglers. This attempt to hurt the top of the pyramid champs will also hurt the devourer champs that don't hard follow the equation sated=won game.

Last point, something that was mentioned before in buried post is why not increase the stack gain for champ kills. 1 stack per kill atm makes ganking with pre-sated devourer a waste of time and effort, it is most efficient to afk farm till sated while in the off points contesting dragon/herald. I would think 3 stacks per champ kill would make ganking for devourer junglers a strong option.

all this change does is make it so that the devourer jungler has to take at least 1 rift herald to stack as fast as before preseason. i really don't see the need for compensation.

While Kindred isn't top dog right now, she does not need help.

I'd say she could stand to take a couple of nerfs even.
