Why Remove Devourer?

Yes I understand you hate Master Yi and Shyvana abusing the crap out of Devourer, but I kind of like the item. I don't get what Riot is doing, replacing Devourer for something like Bloodrazor, which doesn't seem to offer the stats Devourer give. What are your thoughts on Devourer getting removed from the game.

as a yi and shyvana main (arnt i a piece of shit? ^^ but hey i played them since season 2 so meh)

i hate it being removed.

as someone who views the balance of the game as a whole i think its a good idea.

as a human being i think the replacment is fucking retarded nearly every build iv done has resulted in it not being worth the money and generaly even when it does equal just the fucking magic on hit damage it will still be less effective because it went from ap to ad and the a FUCK ton more armor then mr. so it still needs even more and finding a tank with 6000 is kind of rare. and dont forget the fact we are just talking about sateds on hit damage... completely ignoring the passive...

They are also overly nerfing Yi I think while demolishing what he built. He was stupid strong but I feel as though Riot's balance team could be far better at what they do and more fair regardless if "x" champion was mega OP for "x" amount of time. They could make them still decent or good while not being OP. I wonder if they will ever get a more professional balance team or step their game up when it comes to major problems and OP champs for so many months before something is done. I was playing Yi tank devourer 4-5 months ago and it was so stupid strong. They don't do anything for so long and when they do they overdo it. You would think with millions of players they would have a better team who is more up to date on issues and more fair on balancing.

your gonna disagree with me and i know it. But i already discovered yi after 6.9 to be stronger... (on average) if you change it right. its a long as fuck post but i wrote all about it here. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/1xaWE2zR-how-to-play-yi-in-69 if your a yi main like me i recommend you try it for about 5 games and see. i found it overall stronger since you can snowball eariler and tbh it doesnt matter how hard you nerf yis late it is always gonna be the strongest against all other champs (expect you know... nasus veigar one shots... thats the exception tho not the rule.) as for the balance team.... i dont recall anyone going "CORKIE IS TO FUCKING OPRESSIVE.... THIS AUTO DAMAGE IS TO HIGH!" cause thats totally the thing that made corkie annoying.strong. it was his mix damage autos. not the constant r spam it was those slow weak mix damage autos...

I think it was a needed change. Bloodrazor will likely need some buffs, but should be an overall improvement once settled in. The problem that has always existed with Devourer is its stacking mechanic. Becuase it scales well, its provides little in flat stats, which makes champions who buy it very weak early, outside of Kindred of course, who can make up for that with the passive. Plus stacking encourages early passive farming, which means almost no pressure for your lanes. Scaling is as well and good, but on a jungler it's no so great as they are intended to be the early playmakers and make the big differences to the early game. Bloodrazor gives them that early pressure, and still scales decently, since it has %HP damage.

And yeah, the ghost-hit is pretty abusable by some champions, espescially when lower-elo junglers won't be able to punish the scaling as well.

the stacking passive was kinda neat, but this is a pvp game and that made it into pve
