i dont think eve is worth the ban right now. Losing 20 damage off her max rank Q is quite a lot. 5 of those and thats 100 damage you're missing now. way more worthwhile bans

i just dont think her damage early game is good enough for how squishy she is anymore. After the last nerf to her, i doubt we will see her in the upcoming playoffs at all anymore

I'm not a jungle main at all but if I know it's a devourer jungler I'm going in to invade them constantly and keep vision on their jungle so my team can catch them out and shut them down.

eh this doesnt work as much with people who know what they are doing. You play Nunu to steal their jungle so instead they just farm yours because you'll be so focused on counter jungling

With Nunu I invest in pink wards, sightstone, and mobi boots super early to give more map presence and give me more options for such a thing. With the ward advantage you should be able to get a teammate to come and catch the enemy in your jungle. But you could also play a strong ganking jungler and try to snowball your lanes while the devourer jungler is still fighting krugs.

problem with that though is that kind of itemization doesnt work so well for solo q. Building like that is way more team oriented and in soloq can backfire a lot. Instead of sightstone you could have gotten stats that will actually help more in fights. It works in competitive play because snowballing is way less common. If you build like that and someone on the enemy team comes out of laning phase 10/1, you're going to melt with your sightstone.

As for people that go Devourer and don't gank, that just means they are bad. Sure there are still champs like WW that cant gank until level 6 really but going devourer doesnt mean you cant gank at all until sated is done. Shyv for example does so much damage that if a lane has CC, you can still gank even when going devourer and get a stack for doing so. Only people who dont know better dont gank

Yeah this is the way the jungle works. If x happens then y. If b happens then do c. But if someone is 10/1 by the time you get a sightstone and no other items you are either incredibly far behind or someone is feeding super hard. And I'd hope as a jungler you go to help your lanes out and try to prevent such things from happening. Obviously you don't have full control of everything but you gotta do what you can whether it be try and catch that lane back up or snowball a different lane of yours.

the main point though is just in general, going sightstone jungler just isnt that great. Soloq is all about carrying if you want to climb and not expecting to get carried by others. Nunu with a sightstone isnt going to be carrying anyone

You forgot YI WW and Udyr. Its because Sated Dev is ridiculously broken.

To be fair, 4/5 of those banns didn't even use to jungle.

How is this any different to that time months back when Vi, Sejuani, Nidalee, Rek'Sai and Gragas were constant bans. Junglers are always popular targets for bans.
