Devourer promotes single-minded and selfish play?

Exercism·Aug 14, 2015·1 votes·267 views

Many ranked games have I had struggles with people building Devourer thinking they need to just farm and farm. They chose cs over helping a lane or team-fighting, I understand it is a game and people can play it anyway they like. It just has come to the point where if i am the banner, I ban typical Devourer jungle just so i do not have them on my team. I like to play team coordinated game-play and maybe that is my problem (sad if it is, because this is a team game after all). Should I try to play more selfishly, I guess, is the question?

Devourer doesn't promote this type of play, people not understanding how the item works does. Successful ganks along with farming the jungle actually stacks it faster, and leaves your team in a better position to abuse the power of their Sated jungler.

Not to mention scuttlecrab and drakes.

I do understand that, but doesn't change the fact that no one uses that way at lower elo. It just seems the more people chose to take raptors or such rather then gank or take team objectives. I guess i should rephrase the original statement to say promotes selfish, non-team oriented play at lower elo where people do not have a decent grasp on the items actual application. This is not just one games observation, but a plethora since the item was released. Just dread seeing any of the devourer jungles on my team even before the game starts because i know i will be on my own.
