Apparently Riot has learned nothing all Season 5

At the beginning of S5 devourer was broken as shit, and resulted in many nerfs to the item, and the final blow was the gutting of Warwick.

And now, almost 7 months later, we're back to it again. Every other auto attack applying on hit effects twice. So the following champions are most likely going to be either like Sej and Gragas were after Cinderhulk release or are going to be gutted worse than Olaf was. NOTE: Sheen procs and empower autos (like Jax W and Nasus R, not like Master Yi E and Irelia W) do not received the double effect. However, items such as BotRK and Hydra are applied.

TwistedFate If you line up your auto attacks right (having one or 3 stacks towards E before sated) then your auto attacks will align so the E proc is also the sated proc. Enjoy damage, looks like Riot is going to have to nerf AD TF jungle... again.

Warwick Yep, they're gonna nerf Warwick. Calling it now. You heard it first here folks.

Jax Enjoy R procs doing double damage. Welcome to hell.

Irelia Double heal, double true damage. "Better nerf Irelia" -Riot, 2k15

MasterYi Confirmed by Riot that his E will be double proc'd. Fuck your tanks.

Udyr FLAME ON. Although I'm pretty sure that's the only thing that would work with it (Q DoT wouldn't be doubled, similar to how Teemo's poison does not double, E wouldn't just double time, it'd stun "twice," although turtle would double the heal).

Oh boy. Double Hydra procs, double BotRK procs, DOUBLE IRELIA AND YI TRUE DAMAGE.

Riot pls

Not only that, but it is on the PBE for one PBE patch only now.

There are tweaks incoming, mark my words.

I think the item can be balanced in its current form, though PROBABLY not with the numbers its at currently.

Double onhits every 5th auto (within X seconds while in combat) seems more reasonable.

On the other hand, Devourer no longer scales infinitely (it just stops at 60 onhit magic damage when it becomes Sated).

Warwick: Isn't the only thing Devourer actually doubles, his passive (Eternal Thirst I think its called?) I know for a fact it doesn't work with his ultimate.

That's a bit too far. Every 3rd attack at most. Riot thinks that your really shouldn't have to attack more than 3 times to proc an effect. And I don't think it should be more than that either.

I'm betting that the champs OP mentioned. Half won't even see play in said position. (definitely not TF) The other half can be dealt with individually, for an Item that helps a lot more champs than it breaks.

Warwick will be nerfed anyway just because

I really do not see jungle Twisted Fate and Irelia becoming things, honestly.

The champ that will be helped the most IMO is Irelia, but it's not the end of the world.

I'm actually pretty sad. I play a bit of Udyr and now I won't be hitting 90 stacks in longer games. Pretty sure this is a nerf.
