Has Sated Devourer seriously not be nerfed yet or am I going insane?

This item is clearly broken beyond words and eventually the only thing that is going to be more broken then it is my computer monitor due to me having a sated devourer jungler in almost EVERY GAME.

It's not broken. Well, it is in lower elo where no one knows about counterplay. Someone picks a Devourer jungler, this is what you do.

Pick any jungler with a decent early game. (Lee Sin, Elise, Xin Zhao, etc.) Have your team pick lane champs that scale well into the mid/late game, like Corki, Jinx, Gnar, Ekko, etc.)
After your first camp (start top as most junglers start bottom side, throw a ward down to be sure) invade the enemy jungle and take a buff. If you run into them, fight them, as most Devourer junglers have incredibly bad early game.
Pick a lane and camp, get them and yourself fed.
Continue counter-jungling, get Scuttle + Dragon to deny stacks.

The only thing that can get a Devourer jungler stacks now is a lane is feeding. Which in all honesty, isn't that hard to not do. There you go, how to beat a Devourer jungler. Don't let them scale, punish their lanes early, and try to get your lanes fed to further outscale the enemy jungle.

Adapt your playstyle to the enemy weaknesses, not to your strengths. A lot of champions are very flexible on how they can handle various team comps.

The only problem is if you're in draft their jungler might be near the last pic, and you can't predict what they're going to pick.

You can always pick something that works well early anyway. I think the junglers that work the bast right now are early game gank/dive junglers. Carry your lanes early so they can carry you to the end of the game.

I typically pick early strength junglers right now because I expect 80% of junglers I'm against to run devourer.

If they don't pick a Devourer, then I at least match them.

I could pick 4 things that counter anything. Think the problem is that you don't always have that coordination in YoloQ. Hence why devour isn't really a thing in pro play.
