Will Riot never address how problematic and chaotic Devourer is?

This item is so out of hand, it's ridiculous. It's sickening that Riot didn't learn from their mistake of Feral Flare at all. They removed it, and pushed it back out halfway into the season. Now players are back to afk farming, allowing their lanes to suffer negligence and pressure from enemy jungler. And then, with no effort or participation, they reach Sated and become this ridiculously powerful force. That, or they starve for stacks due to being counterjungled or denied by his own team mates, that the team suffers even more.

I just snowballed as Miss Fortune, 7 / 1 / 1. I won a duel against Shyvana but only with around 15% of my health remaining, then she sates her Devourer and it's no contest. She completely mutilated me, while continuing to build tank and not worrying about damage since Sated solved all the problems of damage for her. It's a disgusting item that creates too many problems, while solving nothing in a healthy manner for aspd champions.

Not to mention how overjoyed and enjoyable matches came with the item disabled. There were a huge diversity in champion picks, ranging from Zac, Sejuani and Amumu to Vi, Yi & Xin (with Devourer disabled!!!), and the rare Fiddlesticks! This item either needs to be reevaluated, or needs to be scrapped.

They addressed it multiple times... people just need to teach tanks to take a fucking item 3110 or item 3143 already.

They did which is why Devourer isn't infinitely stacking and doesn't give free wards

If a jungler decides to AFK farm their SD, thats not the items problem thats the junglers problem ( and the teams) because you get stacks for getting kills/assists in lane too. I gank pretty consistently while building SD and still get it by 20 min or so just from getting the stacks in lane, in tandem with the jungle stacks.

To really nerf it, you gotta make it proc on 3 aa. Otherwise, you just have to play around it. Counter Jungle.
