New Devourer may create Double Jungle Meta.

LARGE MONSTERS 1 stack per kill ⇒ 1 stack per takedown (kill or assist)

While I am not 100% sure of which type of champ will duo with the Devourer jungler (probably another devourer jungler, to get full benefits), but this may set up the opportunity to move many ADCs into jungling permanently (with their support being the other jungler, or them being the jungle's support).

Then you could have 3 solo lanes, while having the ultimate safe farming experience on champs like Vayne (who have a hard early game anyways).

Maybe you could do something like Vayne + Poppy (Devourer + Devourer), with Poppy being the support and choosing to lose gold, as her skills being amazing as they are. Both champs have a bad early game but a monsterous late game.

Or maybe something like Kalista + (Cinderhulk tank jungler).

Either way, with this double jungle idea, the clears would start on the opposite sides of the jungle, which if they needed to share a camp, it would be alright thanks to Devourer giving the benefits of a stack anyways.

So what do you think? Does this have any potential? Could this end up becoming the next Korean meta that most Americans call "stupid", then start doing like crazy once the pros start doing it after watching the Koreans, or will end up just being another "break the meta" dream that will never happen?

Any ideas on how to make this potentially work? Any team comp ideas based around this?

The only problem with this is that the gold wouldn't split evenly. Either one of the junglers would get all the gold from the jungle or they would have to share it, putting them both very behind in comparison with the solo-laners.

The only thing I could possibly see is the Top Laner picking up one of these items and assisting the jungler's farm after he's pushed out his lane, and even that is a stretch. It would have to be someone with decent waveclear that would also benefit from the Devourer. Maybe Aatrox.

alistar+ vayne jng would be op. alistar can headbutt large creep while vayne takes little creeps then he can move to next camp while vayne solos large creep. both champions have knock-back moves so it would be really funny to see them counter-jungle. Alistar would have to gank while vayne farms doe to keep up. I dont think this would work very well per say but it would be fun to try.

Aside from what others have commented, you're also going to have a very limited champion pool: one or two of the junglers has to be able to synergize with devourer, the support jungler has to notbe reliant on items as there aren't any gp10 items that would work in the jungle. Lastly, if mid stays the same, your bottom lane is likely to be a bruiser or tank. This champion would also have to be able to 1v2 in the likely event that the enemy team doesn't have a duo jungle (this wouldn't be as much of a problem if they were to make changes to the jungle to make duo jungling the most optimal strategy). That means 3/5 of your team has to fill a very niche role that only a few champions can pull off. Unless they were to add more items to make a support in the jungle feasible (or at least better or equivalent to a support in a duo lane), I don't think this strategy could really take off. It would be fun though!
