Devourer...

why is everyone building devourer? Devourer is for on hit champions, if you read the passive on sated you clearly see that it is meant for jungles like Skarner or Jax. now I understand that bronze and silver players may not realize that new does not mean broken, I'm using all the Corki's or KogMaw's taking runeglaive mid and not doing well because they don't understand what makes it strong on Ezreal. With devourer some people build it on farming jungles, now it does give you a huge power spike when you get sated, typically around 20-30 minutes, it won't wind up helping you as much as taking warrior and dominating earlier. Like I said earlier its amazing for champions who have on hit effects, Aatrox has become more viable with the release of devourer but he still isn't top tier, I think this proves that devourer isn't a broken item. the problem now is that champions like Karthus and Fiddlesticks still aren't great in the jungle, they worked a lot better with magus because it was geared more towards spamming abilities, Riot is doing a wonderful job at jungle diversity but there isn't enough, some tanks necessarily want the cinderhulk and would prefer something that helped them engage, if a new tank item that gave move speed or had a move speed active then champions like Volibear or Udyr would have a better engage without causing the champion to destroy fights. another thing is runes and masteries, I play on lower level accounts or surfs, although I do not call myself a new player because I feel the experience for new players is awful right now. back on topic, when I try to jungle with say 15 mastery points and no runes I struggle with early clears even on champions with very strong first clears like Gragas or Fiddlesticks because i don't have the damage to clear the camps quickly. now I'm not sayings we need to change this, I would just like to see other items to start besides the AD item poachers knife, this is where the problem I have lies, AP jungles and tank jungles need different items to start, I don't have the skill and knowledge to give examples of what would work, there just needs to be something.

Update: stonewall made a video which gave perfect examples of ways to make the jungle more diverse.
