Cost Analysis

Base Statistical Value

• 40% attack speed = 1000
• 30 on-hit damage = 750
  • Total Gold Value = 1750

Gold Value for 1 Devourer Stack

• 1 on-hit damage = 25
  • Total Gold Value = 1775

Gold Value for 29 Devourer Stacks

• 29 on-hit damage = 725
  • Total Gold Value = 2475

Gold efficiency

• Devourer's base stats were 120.69% gold efficient.
• Devourer's gold efficiency is further increased by 1.72% for every Devourer stack, up to a maximum of 170.69% at 29 Devourer stacks. By being an Enchantment, for this calculation it should be considered the fact the item is combined with either Tracker's Knife, Skirmisher's Sabre or Stalker's Blade.

Notes

• Devourer automatically transforms into Sated Devourer when the Devouring passive reaches 30 Devourer stacks.
• Monsters can only be Devoured once.
• While stacking Devourer, you are accompanied by a Ghost Dog who will grow with each Devourer stack. At 30 Devourer stacks, the Ghost Dog merges with the wielder and Devourer transforms into Sated Devourer.
• This enchantment was removed for three reasons:
  • It caused balance issues on otherwise balanced champions like Master Yi, Kayle, and Shyvana (due to their extremely powerful on-hit effects), forcing Riot to nerf them and rebuff most of them once Devourer was removed.
  • The fact that it could trigger on-hit effects twice when stacked allowed champions like Fizz and the aforementioned Master Yi to build tanky after completing this item and an additional on-hit item, since they only needed the on-hit effects to do damage, and could afford to build tanky thereafter; building tanky was not their intended playstyle and negated an intended weakness of them being squishy, causing further balance issues.
  • Devourer was encouraging junglers into a playstyle of AFK farming, which was considered toxic since it forced your team to be at the mercy of the enemy jungler (assuming they weren't also a Devourer jungler) in addition to rewarding junglers for not interacting with the rest of the players.
  • Devourer was replaced by Bloodrazor, and the Phantom Hit effect was moved to a new incarnation of Guinsoo's Rageblade. The latter doesn't need to be stacked with jungle monsters/champion kills, and can be purchased by champions which do not have Smite. However, it is significantly more expensive, and needs to be stacked in combat first.
• On Devourer's release in Patch 4.20, it used the icon for Madred's Razors to represent its current stack count.

Bugs

• There is a known bug with Devourer where getting an assist on Dragon will only reward +1 Devourer stack instead of +5. Try to Smite Dragon in order to get the kill on Dragon for the full +5 stacks.
