A Diana Conundrum

So, I have been playing jungle more and more... and was playing to the point that I'm tired of her... So I started playing Diana again. In the past, Diana's jungle item choice was CLEARLY since, y'know, SPELLBLADE PROCS!! However, with the change to an Echo, it doesn't seem that good on her compared to anymore for a few reasons:

1: Echo procs are few and far between whereas Sated vastly increases the rate in which Diana's passive, which does way more damage, procs. 2: Diana never just pokes or kites and attack speed is important on her since, once she is on you, autos you down. 3: Diana is melee. 4: The damage from Devourer in general does far more than the rare Echo procs and the AP give.

So shouldn't I start using devourer on her? Most guides still say , so if not, may i ask why?

Most guides I've found don't update very quickly, but i can see where devourer is good and where Runic is good, The reason i'd want Runic over Devourer is ive im against a team i cant dive onto and need to poke them down first, but if its a team of squishies who die form Q, R, Passive then devourer seems like a great choice. Not sure if this is what you wanted but hope it helps anyway.

If you're going bursty assassin-essqe Diana, you want Runic Echos. For a more fighter-y Diana, I could see Devourer being an option. I need to suggest that to a friend who played fighter Diana with the old enchantment

Diana is a burst assassin. Going runic echoes greatly improves her burst and ability to one shot people. If you were to go sated the rest of the build should be like a nashors and then tank. Maybe get a rylais. With devourer there is no point of going full AP, because then you are wasting the point of the item. Essentially you'd be killing people instead of dpsing people which is the point of devourer.
