Devourer Really Needs to be Changed

I know people have been complaining about this a long time ago, but Sated Devourer is extremely broken. All the top junglers are abusing this item, doing nearly nothing in the first 20 minutes, but after they get Sated they just come out wreck everyone. All the other junglers come out of the jungle for a gank before 20 helping out the other lanes get kills while Devourer junglers just sit in their jungle watch their teammates die as they right click the jungle camps. I know this is a con of having devourer junglers, but it really frustrates me to see my teammates get obliterated by the devourer jungler, especially since I put more effort into ganking the lanes getting teammates kills, while the enemy jungler just farmed. All the rest of the junglers needs to work harder, risking gold and experience for ganks, since the gank may not always be successful. Devourer junglers did not take any risk yet they get rewarded more than the others. How is this even fair...

Devourer really needs to be fixed Riot.

This just in, junglers are not allowed to carry even if they are useless for the first 20 minutes. Anyone who is farm reliant should be completely useless, and we should go back to having everyone playing Lee Sin.

-_-

Devourer is quite a good item, only a few characters abuse it and that s because of changes made to their kit (Xin zhao), or being able to effectively use it like Master Yi.

Other champs such as Warwick, are so reliant on the item they cannot function outside of the jungle without it, and any nerf to the item makes them worse than they already are, but who cares about a wholistic view, we must instead focus on a handful of champs that makes subjective experiences poor for a minority.

They are changing it. This has been confirmed for a while.

It has been mentioned that Riot is going to be changing Devourer with the Midseason patch (6.9).

I feel like we should have special circumstances depending on champion we're facing. not the 1 or 2 items they buy. every devoure champion has to be 1v5d cced to hell to kill them. its quite annoying. and unhealthy.

The only top tier jungler that uses Devourer is Kindred. Elise, Lee, Gragas, Nid, Rek'sai, and Graves all use different enchants.
