"Devourer gains stacks on monster kill or assist"

I really think this is heading in the wrong direction, Riot. You guys are trying really hard to give junglers nice things but you cannot do this if you create ways for other people to use it. You guys should be making it more difficult for laners to buy these items and more difficult for more than one person per team to have the item. Even if you guys like to pretend you don't support a meta, that's a load of shit. You guys have the LCS so you're not going to change the meta. As it stands, laners just ruin jungle items; top lane tanks built Cinderhulk, Ezreal is singlehandedly making Runeglaive broken, and although it isn't likely, something potentially coming from Devourer not requiring the kill won't necessarily end well.

Uh, dude, it didn't require kills before this patch either, assists have always counted, ever since back when they implemented Feral flare (the predecessor to Devourer) it has always included assists.

The reason this item isn't going to become stupidly OP on any sort of lane is that unless they can get a kill every 30 seconds they will have no hope of matching (or even coming close to) the stacking you gain in the jungle.
