i may be bias because i main shyvana but i don't understand why it was removed. it was basically a 4v5 for ~15 minutes if you had a devourer jungler, the enemy team should be able to get a lead in that time.
sure, when i played on my smurf i stomped them pretty hard because silver players don't know how to capitalize on their advantages, but when i play on my main and the enemy jungler is a plat wukong that camps the fuck out of my bot lane, i can't just get sated and destroy them.
even if he doesn't delay my farming, even if i still got sated in 15 minutes, we're so far behind in gold and objectives that it's very unlikely we can come back.
devourer is really high risk high reward. if you get a jungler that actually knows what they're doing, someone picking an early game jungler, annoying the fuck out of you, invading, killing you in your own jungle, stealing your camps.. you are FUCKED.
i hear from shitty junglers all the time things like "i shouldn't have to invade them and change my play style just to make sure they don't destroy my team" and then they just continue picking slow tank junglers into shyvana and getting wrecked and blaming devourer for being "broken"
it doesn't make sense. counterpicks and counterplay are a part of the game. you need to learn to adapt to the situation. if the enemy team has a devourer jungler, do literally anything in the first 15 minutes of the game and you're more useful than them.
but now devourer junglers have nothing at all, so we're useless all the time lmao
im gonna miss this game man
