Devourer snowballs too hard

Baron von Jiggly··3 votes·671 views

Please is there any news at all about a slight nerf or something because literally once you get it sated if your team is ahead by even a little you snowball so hard that the enemy team has literally so little chance to comeback it's insane. i just wanna know if something is on the way at all and if not than i guess i'll just have to shut up and deal with getting constantly rammed up the ass by a item that literally makes most tanks useless and kills an adc in 3 shots.

Edit: ______________________

this item feels a bit broken even when my teamates have it and they can just blow up stuff. shit i went shyvana with the devourer once and destroyed the enemy so bad i felt disgusted in the power of the damn item.

i know countering it is easy but if you have a team that doesn't know how to counter it ( ex. solo Q ) than literally there is no redemption.

the item also brings back the same problem feral flare had in some matches where people are more focused on stacks than ganking which makes it so when they get an enemy jungler that's actually putting in work your stuck dealing with Yi farming at 20 mins for his sated stacks. it's no where near as bad as people were with the feral flare in terms of getting farm hungry and not helping their teamates but it's still pretty bad.

That item is so damn broken in Solo Q and in normals. I don't think snowball is the right term to describe. More like, massive mid game power spike (which leads to snowballing, sure) for who ever gets Sated.

Don't let them get Sated? Deny Dragon and Scuttle. It is only OP if they get it early which is your fault for letting them farm all day errday.

i'm mostly speaking about this not from a oh i got shat on by such item therefore it's annoying and needs to be nerfed. (which i know thats what it looked like in the original post which i will edit now) but more of as the fact it literally let my friend as tryndamere 3 shot an adc and i thought to myself this item needs to be nerfed because mid game 3 shotting an adc like that needs to be re-thought on riots end

Pick any hard ganking Jungler.

  1. Ekko Elise Evelynn Gragas Hecarim Hecarim Hecarim JarvanIV Khazix LeeSin Maokai Nautilus Nocturne Pantheon RekSai Rengar Sejuani Shaco Volibear XinZhao

oh, and Hecarim

Force the person to help his lanes and not farm, or build such a heavy advantage that they are too far behind to catch up.

Gank beats Farm.

i know this for certain it's actually what i do. it's mostly when i'm not playing jungler and see the rest of my team and jungler let the enemy jungler snowball with the item while they try and farm their own devourer which is dumb

man you dont know a tad bit about devourer

a jungle who gets dewourer is actualy encouraged to gank more than any other jungle

a) he needs money ... fast ... ganking is the best way b) he needs dragons and scuttles to be his ... he ganks to get cotnroll over map and ensure a fast gain of stacks

but op is right ... if someone might luck out or play it propertly and get that sated fast the item gives too much reward a)loads of sheer power to dominate mid game if he stacks fast enouugh b) it increases your scaling with other items so every next item you get gives you more power than it should so you will have a stronger late game than any other champion currently on map ... and enemies will have no chances of even catching up to you in terms of power

if you luck out and everything sets up for you ... you are guaranteed to win the game due to that insane power you have this is bad design owerall

some random powerspike that might or might not win the game instead of your skill all that you have to do is to luck out early
