So i just played a flex game as talon the enemy team used the funnel strat which im pretty sure everyone knows of. Their team had 3 supports an adc and jg, lulu, karma, zilean, kaisa and evelynn as early game went everything was normal and mid game all supports came together to make kaisa undeniably overpower. This part is normal, however i got 13 kills in lane and i thought we were fine aslong as we got zilean's r. However, to my surprise zileans'r has an incredibly short cd and makes kaisa have a ga every 30 secs and this just makes her unkillable. After the game I realized mord is a counter to this as he can seclude the kaisa but im here to ask how can i beat the funnel strategy.

There are two ways that don't depend on team composition.

Method 1. Don't fight them. Scatter and push other lanes. You'll be doing more good pushing other lanes than you will be getting destroyed by Kai'Sa.

Method 2. Pick off the supports. Determine which one is wreaking the most havoc, pick them off, and work your way down. This is effective only if your team is sufficiently leveled.

Thats not really the funnel strat. Thats the very old 'eggs in one basket' strat. Back in the day it was mostly used on Kog'maw and was called the 'Juggermaw' strat although Yi was common too.

Best way to beat it is to split push them to death which forces them to break up their comp and send supports to deal with split pushers who are going to body them. If they cant pull everyone together to fight constantly then the comp is straight trash
