As a Shyvana player, I gotta say, Sated Dev is a disgusting item to use.

It's fun as fuck, but it's extremely unhealthy right now. Basically, once you get Sated as a Jungler, there's no one who could ever duel you unless they're balls fed (we're talkin like extremely balls fed) or have sated themselves. The only way the enemy can fight you is if they 5v1.

Also, there's the fact that it promotes AFK farming, even when the jungler you play has decent ganking potential with some items. Take Shyvana for example. Right now, everyone thinks her only weakness is early game because she can't gank for shit. That reasoning is due to the fact that she has no CC until 6. Well, with the combination of Chilling Smite and Bilgewater Cutlass, no one is getting away from her. Hell, even with Chilling, you can get people. The point is, AFK farming doesn't help anyone but the Jungler. It's basically like a 4v5 until 20 or 25 minutes.

Now there's the fact that Riot's nerfing armor items in 5.16 and not even touching Sated. In my honest opinion, even as a avid Shyvana player, Sated Devoured needs a nerf. It's way too strong and it promotes unhealthy gameplay.

As an unranked scrub, I believe that if I suggested nerfs, they wouldn't be good ones. So, that's why I'm posting this. We need to think up of healthy nerfs for Sated Dev.

TL;DR: OMG NURF SAETD NAOWWW

Edit: This isn't a Shyv QQ thread, it's a Sated Devourer QQ thread.

I've crushed the occasional Sated jungler 1v1 as Tryndamere in the top lane.

Well, it's Tryndamere. You got that invulnerablity shit going on.

I would like to see more top lane Shyvana, then again it's not like you'd be able to play her since she's banned so often.

Also Tryndamere is feast or famine. Those types of champions are either carrying the game, or they're getting carried. I used to play one, and if you get a little fed during the laning phase, which is easy when you're not getting ganked due to enemy AFK farming, then you can duel anyone without a problem. That's a different issue though.

It's less on Shyvana and more in general that the item is ridiculous.

It's currently the most cost-efficient jungle item. Its main competitor, Cinderhulk, is actually the only one that isn't naturally over 100% efficient.

Honestly, it would still be over 100% efficient without the on-hit damage.

I used Shyv as an example because I play her a lot. My post was toward the item itself, not the champions

Meh only crap junglers would afk farm with Devourer. I play WW with it all the time and I can still get all my stacks by the 15-18 minute mark and still have ganked several times during it.

I made that point in my post. Sated promotes AFK jungle. Many "crap junglers" are drawn to the item due to its power, so they don't know that you still have to help your team.

At least with such an item, you can tell the good from the bad very easily which is something that is often overlooked but extremely valuable. But I agree it is funny when you see that. I see it a lot on Yi players, they will literally hide in their jng til they get sated and while yes they come out very powerful, the game is usually over by the time they even get out.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with promoting Farm junglers, but when you make them crazy OP and don't nerf em for a while, things get bad. Also, many players who don't get that you still have to help your team early will just AFK farm. Another thing, you mention good teamwork in soloque. Many times, that doesn't happen. People just pick stuff cuz they like it.

So glad an actual jungler sees and agrees that Devourer is an item that's toxic to the current state of the game. My concern is that they're going to start nerfing champs when the actual problem is an item. Champs right now are getting banned not because of how strong they are, but because of how strong they are with devourer. I don't understand how they haven't even noticed this problem when you have champs with devourer killing people in 1-2 seconds before they even have time to react including pure tanks. Something needs to be changed the item needs to either be reworked, hard nerfed, or just outright removed from the game.
