To the people who hate devourer.

I know its a super op item, well according to most of us anyway, (not me) ..But wouldn't removing devourer make the game more scary? I mean usually a champ with a devourer item would have to focus farming more than ganking, just to get it stated, Even an average player (not good or bad) should be able to get devourer item by 12 mins, and get it stated at 20 mins. That is even after getting the item, you have to keep farming to get it stated, which gives you less time to gank.

What i am posting here is just a thought, In my personal opinion, removing the devourer item would mean massive ganks after past 12 mins since jg players will no longer need to stack anything. More time would be invested in ganking now than ever. Would it make the game more scary? i wouldnt know till i play it.

In the end my opinions wouldn't change a thing, changes are inevitable, this is just an open discussion for all junglers out there.

I generally feel like it's a good thing to remove it. Not because it's OP or anything, but for one simple fact.

Most, if not all of the other Enchantments are ready to go when you purchase them. There's no need to farm up more, or get more stacks if that's what you wanted. But when you play a Sated Jungler, not only are farming up to get that item, but now you have to farm up even more to get it's full ability activated where as if you go say Cinderhulk you buy it. Done. Sure Devourer helps you kill enemies quickly, but Cinderhulk gives you HP and AOE damage without having to go an extra mile to unlock that AOE damage.

And the same for the AP based Jungle Item, I forget what it's called....Rune Echoes I think. I don't play a lot of AP junglers. But, when you buy that you don't have to go stack and farm for it's passive charges and discharges like Luden's Echoes has. It just has it right out of the box.

To me, it's taking away a part of the Lone Wolf style of game play. Where you just focus more on yourself, you don't worry about your team. You gank if you are there, and if not, oh well sucks for them. You just want to farm and stack. And if they complain, eh you figure you can carry late game anyway so why bother trying to help. You need those stacks to be done!

But that's just how I feel about it in general.

should rework all jungle items dev is bad for the game and raged junglers have too much power.

I'm going to miss devourer. I like playing ebin dev jgs and the game is that much less interesting now that this play style is gone.

I think the new jungle item will be much better in the long term than devourer

As a Shyvana main, no.

As much as I'd love to reach for anything to cling to as an excuse to keep Devourer, this just....no. Not having anything to stack up won't force me to gank at lvl 2 because I really can't gank at lvl 2.
