Devourer, A proposed nerf to AFK farming.

KilljoyX··4 votes·602 views

So we all know AFK farming the jungle is not fun for the rest of the map.

How do you get them to fight instead of focusing crab? Simple you devalue crab and increase the value of kills/assists.

My change would be simple. Crabs are worth 1 stack and kills/assists are now worth 2. "But that makes it stronger!" It also makes it much less toxic. You can also decrease dragon to 3-4 stacks as well if you like.

There are a decent amount of junglers out right now that are learning how to jungle. They just know that devourer is OP and they want to use it. It was kind of the same with Cynderhulk. The difference is, is that players are trying to power farm their way to 30 stacks with out understanding that the jungler still has to put early pressure in places, secure vision, secure dragons, and cover towers. I had a TK jungler who only farmed the jungle, no joke never left the jungle until 30 minutes when the enemy was pushing us back because it was basically a 5 v 4. Generally just AFK farming the jungle for 20 or so minutes will result in losses in solo q. Riot tried but making drag give 5 stacks,

That isnt even a valid issue. scuttle bug has a pretty high respawn timer i believe. feel free to read this before you get anymore " lets nerf devourer " ideas in your head:

the reason crabs are worth more is because they're limited. same with dragon hes worth more, because he has a incredible re spawn timer.

when your jungler decides to be one of those junglers....that sits in the jungle and farms devourer, i suggest you do these 2 things. Play passive! do not die. - your jungler coming out with sated while hes lanes are 0/0/0 is a good thing!

Buy ward! - Nullifying the enemy junglers attempt at ganking helps not only you not to die, but also your jungler get ahead, as he is afk farming.

i know it sucks when the jungler afk farms, but theres ways to play around with that. stay safe. ward up, and be patient. chances are hes choosing this method of jungling because he doesn't feel confident in ganking. maybe the enemy has way too many escapes, and he feels you guys wont get the kill or even a flash. so hes afk farming. but do you really want a un confident jungler ganking your lane ;0, he could probably make the situation worse by dying. atleast if hes afk farming he isn't feeding!

you just need to know how to play around having an afk farming jungler.

Or just make kills and assists 2. Problem solved.
