Pretty much this. Also you'd probably HAVE to start with critical strike chance and then even not be lucky enough to get critical strikes. Hunger increases so rapidly that he will be near death before the minions have spawned - and any smart person could easily kill a 100 health guy. Especially if he's trying to kill creeps to let hunger sink.

tl;dr The hunger system is a interesting idea, but badly executed.
