Countering the Sated Devourer

How do you do it? It seems as if just about every game i'm in the enemy jungler using the now seen in 75% of my games item-Slated Devourer. Not only that but most games that enemy jungler does very well, usually ending up carrying the enemy team. Once one of those things gets going i just don't know how to stop them, it seems a Slated Devourer + a champ with a nice kit like say Udyr is all you need to set yourself up for being a terminator. There has to be some sort of set back or something that can be built to counter the Sated Devourer because it is starting to get ridiculous.

The counterplay the pros would suggest is to get your team ahead in terms of pushing and kills. Maintain Dragon and Crab control so the enemy jungler can't get stacks off them, and otherwise gank the hell out of his/her teammates so he can't power-farm without losing an inhibitor.

TL;DR - Map pressure is the counter to Sated Devourer. Force that enemy jungler to stop farming if he doesn't want to lose.

Off the top of my head:

Get an early team lead and start taking towers. This will make it harder for them to farm up to Sated Devourer as they will be forced to help defend lanes.
Focus them if they have a Sated Devourer. It doesn't make them more survivable.
Counter-jungle them early and often, denying them stacks.

And yes, it is overpowered on certain champs and needs to be addressed. There is counterplay though.
