Riot, you killed Twisted Fate jungle.

So in the recent devourer nerf (as I assume most of you know) they changed it so that ranged devourer champions can only proc its effect every fourth auto. I feel as if this was to target specifically Kayle, as if she became sated and got 1 or 2 kills pre-nerf she was unstoppable. However, by doing this, they also killed off an out-of-meta pick that I really enjoyed playing---Devourer Twisted Fate jungle. The big way that this killed him was with his e, stacked deck. This was a large source of damage on TF jungle, and without the proc every 2 autos, it takes away a massive amount of his viability damage-wise. This essentially means that when you catch someone out with your ult, you're not going to be able to delete them as fast as you really need to be.

Whats your point, TF wasnt designed to be jungler anyway...

The devourer nerf for ranged champions was actually targeted at Kindred (she was originally supposed to come out in 5.19 which is the same patch as that change). Kindred's passive would have been way too strong if double applied on every other auto. It kind of sucks that they had to go and wreck all ranged junglers just because of 1 champion's passive.

Jungle tf is viable even without smite.

Wasn't TF jungle used before Sated was a thing? I'm pretty sure that, while now nerfed, this is no killing blow for TF jungle.

I like Runeglaive TF more imo.

My jungle Teemo, Gnar, and various other niche picks were also hurt pretty bad. RIP ranged devourer junglers. QQ
