The only problem im seeing with this item is that on champions like Yi, Shyvana and Irelia is that these champions will only need to get the sated devourer, buy a botrk (or in irelias case, just get a trinity) and then they can go full tank and still put out way to much damage. It requires a lot of AFK farming but one they get a sated devourer and botrk, they can go full tank and still deal as much damage as an ad carry.

For example, Yi will only need Sated devourer and botrk and his damage will be way to much. He could then go Randuins, Spirit visage, Mercury treands and Thornmail/Warmogs/Guardians angel/ Sunfire cape to be an unstoppable tanky dps monster. His Q will come back up within in seconds after use, his E will apply twice per auto and with his passive he could apply his E 3 times in one hit. This is where the problem arises, the full damage assassin Yi will now only need this two items to deal somewhat near the same amount of damage. He won't have the burst, but he will have the insane tankiness and Dps now.

Shyvana will just be unstoppable with her E passive onhit+Botrk+Q dealing an insane amount of burst while being insanely tanky, her damage is now just gonna be even more increased when she already did quite a bit of damage.

Irelia is already in need of nerfs, now with this new devourer, she can go jungle and basically destroy everything.

I could only consider the item balanced because of the immense amount of farming it will take, but its like with the feral flare junglers, once its sated, that one champion is going to destroy everything.

I only used Shyvana, Irelia and Yi as examples because they benefit the most from the sated devourer in my eyes. Although Nocturne, Aatrox and Xin zhao are just gonna become unkilliable monsters (Nocturne will apply his passive even faster sustaining and healing non stop, Aatrox is gonna apply his W every 2 hits and Xin zhao will just be terror on the rift).
