Devourer needs to be removed so junglers can actually learn how to GANK once a game.

I hate devourer enchantment ... we need to remove it. All junglers do is farm all game now ... ganking has become an after thought. Twice today I played with junglers who outright refused to gank at all pre 6 and even after 6 just to get his stupid devourer asap. by this time my team is like 0-15 because their leesin is ganking all day long and is legendary by the time our jungler is even ready to help.

You realise you can gank when you have devourer right ? it does not require it to be sated to gank. There is not text on it that states " cannot gank unless sated " I mean ..... cmon now.

Please riot change devourer so that junglers will actually gank and benefit off ganking somehow so that they don't just make your game a 5 on 4 for 25 mins.

P.S IT WAS A JAX JUNGLE WHO COULDN'T GANK JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX like the amount of stupidity in that very fact is just dumbfounding.

A Jax who has a stun and a way to negate damage and a jump to get the stun off could not gank because apparently he needed to be sated to use such skills.

RITO PLS.

About ganking and powerfarming, there are some times it is understandable, I like to play Sion jungle and to be honest, I usually tell my lanes that unless it is a dire circumstance, I probably won't gank pre 6, just cause of his sheer sustain with w and the health bonus he gets stacking up I can usually not go back till I get level 6 and ult down a lane. Now if your excuse for not ganking is a personal power stacking item, that is ridiculously stupid. I have seen junglers run devours and still pull off ganks, plus you still get a stack or 2 if it is successful, and further if it is bot lane then you can probably get dragon and surprise, another 5 stack, 7 if you grab scuttle right after. A total of 9 stacks with one gank, that is almost 1/3 of your max stacks

Plus tbh item 3711 needs some love and changes, it is interesting that we have an item created for counter jungling but it honestly sucks

But what you did in your post was just say "I had two games with players who make poor decisions and were rather bad at the game, specifically jungling". If Devourer weren't in the game, they would just be messing something else up for your team, like playing Ryze jungle or something.

I just got out of a match where my jungler was an Udyr (verbally abusive at that) didnt gank mid lane at all. Then Blamed Yasuo (me) for losing lane when I was getting constantly getting harrassed by a Kassadin AND a camping Kindred. I check his items...Yup, He had devourer. And he rages at me and tells me how worthless I am for losing to kassidin (Again, completely ignoring the frequent ganks from Kindred) Meanwhile he is too busy getting stacks for Devourer...

So basically you want to gut Warwick, and any champ like him that can't gank til 6 anyway because of their kits, just simply because you hate devourer?

FYI Diana by Champion.gg's stats is the best overall JG in the game in Plat+ and guess what? She can't gank til 6 and doesn't build item 3710 so your point is moot.

If anything it's bad Junglers rather than the item that make it hard for it. I personally see item 3726 no different than an Attack Speed oriented item 3027 or item 3040 's as they all need time to stack.

Not really, farming toons are not good at ganking but they are cool with deleting people after coming out of their cave 40 mins into the game.

Can't see why you would wanna remove a niche, that's just not cool.

Udyr and Shyvanna are the sated junglers I play. There is no reason not to gank a lane, while you're stacking the item. People tend to forget killing a champ gives a stack.

Udyr has bear stun and Shyv has a great DoT speed boost to stick to the laner. Their ganks are not uber great like say a good Lee Sin, but are good enough to create map pressure and help your laners out.

I normally get sated about 20 - 25 minutes into the game, and helping out laners.

TL:DR

I don't change the way I play just because I don't have sated. It will get there eventually.
