Devourer is a noob trap in 6.x
Games don't last long enough right now. Please help your team by picking anything else and attacking the enemy before minute 25 of the game.

If you're not finishing your devour before 20 minutes, you're not devouring right.
Unless your teammates are actively trying to steal the dragon and scuttle from you. Then fuck them.
Have an 80% win rate on udyr building devourer 9/10 games over the course of roughly 30 games now. Devourer is still plenty strong on the right champs. And if your games a consistently ending before the 30 minute mark you should probably stop feeding.
I hate to break it to ya... but this was considered a noob trap item in diamond play almost all of last season. Devourer style farm intensive junglers have always strayed away from the path of greatest success by playing a long game style that depends on splitting and rotating later in games to win. This was always, and will always be, the lower percentage strategy. The best bet, as has been true since the inception of all moba game types in the late 1990s, is that the snowball method of victory where you force early advantages onto your laners and then use them to apply pressure to end games fast will be more effective. This will never change. The basic fundamental nature of the game, and all games really, is one where the longer a game goes on the less the early advantages mean while those same early advantages, when used properly, end games significantly faster and with a victory screen.

Also I have seen many Devourer junglers lately get Sated by about the 15-18 minute mark.
