Live Sated Devourer Nerfs - What a relief!
What a relief that all they did was nerf the Herald stacks and not go through with their original changes for the total amount of stacks needed.

The changes would of single handedly destroy dev junglers, I remember the other day my laners lost hard, and while yes we did eventually make a come back, it took simply forever to hit full stacks. So that entire game while I was desperately trying to get stacks I was thinking "if this item was nerfed I would be so fucked right now"
Dev is a high risk high reward item, where once you buy it you get mediocore stats despite it being expensive, but once you get full stacks you suddenly get your moneys worth. Basically if you never get full stacks, you completely wasted your money and would of been better off with warrior or cinderhulk.
Yep. I still can't believe it. They do almost nothing to devourer likely because at the high tier very few people are using devourer because it means you have to ignore your lanes and hard farm until you get your spike. They like to take the spike early and apply pressure to other lanes. So they can't nerf it because the pros are not using it, but for the 75% of us, devourer is awesome because we do just farm for it, get the power spike, and proceed to own.
Even more shocking is the fact that RageBlade did not even get mentioned. Riot has made all these on hit magic damage boosts, but failed to provide any way to like counter them. The extra damage from rageblade, or devourer is not reflected by thornmail as an example.
