Can we revert the nerf on Devourer?

I mean bring the starting stacks back up to 40 from 25? Currently it doesn't feel competitive against Cinderhulk and Toplaners taking smite means I have less camps to farm.

Buffing Devourer because Cinderhulk is so broken you're losing farm is like putting out a wildfire by opening a barbecue next to it: Yes, you'll profit in the short term, but you're inevitably going to get burned. Bad.

Could you explain how? Devourer junglers have been trash tier for a while and they are getting trashed further by cinderhulk junglers

If something is overpowered, buffing everything to make it as overpowered as that thing impacts the game balance far more than just fixing the broken thing.

This is game balance 101. Do I really have to explain this concept?

As for Devourer junglers being underpowered, perhaps, but if we're judging solely by frequency of use I'd much more concerned about Mage junglers. When's the last time you saw a Magus enchant actually being bought? At least Devourer junglers still have infinite scaling to fall back on so they can drag the game out and hypercarry to victory. Ideally.

MasterYi I agree.

Even buffing the damage to 30 and adding something else to go along with the recurve bow changed would be fine imo

Devourer isn't all that bad. They just need to nerf cinderhulk and buff all the tank junglers. The real problem right now isn't going to be fixed until they do.
