Will they individually nerf all the champs that are too strong as a result of it? MasterYi XinZhao Shyvana Kayle , etc.

My guess is based on their track record they'll nerf the champs and leave the item. Kind of a shame because that hurts their laning in the process but it seem to be their approach. Think I'm right?

Here's the Official Riot nerf list:

  1. Does the community want the champion nerfed? - Nah, the champion is 1 v 5ing; I'm sure the community is fine with it.

  2. Is the champion commonly picked? - Instead of nerfing the top-played problem champs, lets go with champions nobody plays like Leblanc Urgot and Syndra because reasons.

  3. Will the nerf effect gameplay? - Meh... I don't really feel like fixing up gameplay mechanics AND nerfing an overpowered champion, too much work.

  4. Does this champion need a nerf? - If the answer is no, lets nerf them. If the answer is yes, lets keep them the same.

(Yes. This is satire.)

Don't see a reason to nerf Kayle. she works better in lane due the highergold income, no need to tank nothing. One nashor and you are good to go. Xin gets more sustain, yi is a late game carry that can still be blowed up. I'm only concerned with Shyvana and Udyr . Devourer in that case removes a weakness of those. Being outscaled late game.

Ima gonna bump this once the champ's start getting nerfed because I'm pretty confident they won't nerf the item until they've gutted the champs.

Nerf some the champions.

Then, three patches later, remove sated devourer because it was "still found to be too OP".

Do not revert nerfs to the champions and let them sit there for a few years before recognizing that they "may be a tad weak".

My only problem is with MasterYi. Just finished a game who he feed hard early game, still managed to carry the late game with his ridiculous dmg. Shyvana is pretty close behind. The other can be dealt with and devourer doesn't make then broken in anyway imo

They'll nerf devourer. Just like they nerfed Feral Flare.
