Riot you continue to remove diversity from the game -_-

Aside from nerfing champions whom were once viable in multiple roles down to a single role. You've also released the broke atrocity.. or attroxity (if used on aatrox).. I'm talking about sated devourer. Warrior enchant is even less of an option now than it ever was before.. Whenever I go against a yi or xin I pray that they're gonna make a bad call and go warrior enchant... but they don't. (Almost) Every jungle champion that kills with auto attacks has become absolutely ridiculous with it, and every other option is just not as good.Kayle Udyr XinZhao MasterYi Shyvana Aatrox Vayne (that last one isnt exactly a meta jungler but if she manages to get it.. her late game is even more ridiculous than before. Anyways i'm sure I missed some(so feel free to add them). Anyways you preach so much about diversity and then you release this item... the next step you're gonna do isn't even going to be nerfing the item. No you tend to usually nerf the champion around the item and in doing so somehow make them only viable with said item or in said role (How many times have you kicked hecarim from top lane to jungle for instance?) Thanks for reading everyone! I look forward to your feedback =]

It would be nice to see feed back on the whole post aside from just the devourer part.. Also if you downvote can you please give a reason? :)

Why do people keep calling on Yi as if he is strong... his winrate is still roughly 48% and Aatrox is no better. The other's aren't really any stronger, they are simply easier so you see a lot more of them. Devourer gives more room for error and less pressure to gank so even people that are not good on those champions can still have an effect late game.

Yi's pick/ban rate fucking skyrocketed, though.

As did Shyv's. And Kayle's. As for WW and Xin? Hoo boy.

Correct, as I said, they are easier to play now so you will more of them. When you see more you ban more.

Yi is played in master + for a reason.

Around 130 champions to chose from and you complain about diversity. You're kidding right?

A nice mix of diversity and viability are pretty rare to come by these days on the rift. How many of your recent games have had a vayne adc on one side or the other? :p

That has more to do with game balance than diversity. If Riot would just balance out champs, diversity would be automatic.

Exactly, but in it's current state.. wouldn't you say league has lack of diversity currently? I mean you basically justified my point in your post.

There is diversity. The main champions played changes almost every patch to fit the meta. Right now though, diverstiy is probably the best in League history. You have pros picking Trundle support after all!

Aatrox is only good with devourer. Not OP. He's weak without it.

Agree on Kayle, she's too op with devourer, ult, slows, heal, speed buff. Agree on Yi, he's ridiculous, one champion I was able to kill him with, is Trundle. We fought 1x1 max items 3 times, I won all 3 times. Shyvana isn't broken. She is very strong against low mobility comps, but she is still weak against high mobility comps. Vayne is OP with, or without it. I haven't killed a good Vayne with any champion. She kills anyone who dares cross her path.

Haven't played as/against devourer Xin/Udyr.

Aatrox with a spirit visage and a botrk is pretty hard to duel. That one I went by hear-say.. Everyone else though is pretty much from my experience. Devourer udyr in phoenix stance procs a crap ton of aoe magic damage every two hits. Xin heals every other hit and knocks up after two on his three talon strike. Shyvana is broken if she get's her mark on you because with in two autos she can deal 7.5-10 percent max health Due to twin bites and every other attack giving two seconds off of its cool down. Give her a botrk with that and go straight tank. It feels like if someone enjoys playing the champion they'll go warrior enchant.. but if they just want to win they go devourer XD.

You forgot the highest winrate jungler... Warwick

Actually, Devourer isn't that OP. Both runeglaive and cinderhulk can compete with it.

Warrior is just awful.

They've completely destroyed rune glaive. Lich bane is better all ways around.
