Fair Way to Fix Funnel & Buff Junglers who Fell Behind

**To Nerf Funnel: **

New passive for all jungle items - Loaded Hunter: The more gold you have over the 2nd richest player on your team, the slower you become. (-1% overall movement speed for every 80 gold over the 2nd richest, caps at 15% reduction, or 1200 gold ahead)

Note:

  • This is a direct movement speed reduction (instead of slow) and cannot be removed by Cleanse/Quicksilver/Mikael's Cruicible/Highlander/Decisive Strike/Black Shield/Shadow Step/Fury of the North/etc., or reduced by Boots of Swiftness.
  • This is an overall movement speed reduction (instead of base speed reduction), meaning movement speed boosts from all sources will be reduced similar to being affected by slows.

To Buff Junglers who Fell behind:

New passive for upgraded (Stalker's blade/Skirmisher's Sabre) jungle items - Burdenless Hunter: +8% out of combat movement speed when your gold is below team average.

These two changes together will see jungle performances become more consistant, so it will no longer be too dominant when funneled, nor will it be more useless than a support who came back to lane after being dc'd for 5 minutes when outjungled. (A slight out of combat movement speed buff can make it easier for them find camps that haven't been cleared by enemy junglers)

If only the primary funneler MasterYi didn't have a MS boost built in his R, and on top of that ignore slows. You pretty much missed the whole problem and that's the fact hyper carries can abuse the XP gain from minion waves and reap the benefits from enchanters/taric/kayle way too well.

The strategy wouldn't nearly be as effective if they just hit the champions themselves because all the gold funnel nerfs just hit everyone in the game, and thus don't solve the problem but rather 'equalize it' more, gold funnel may be weaker but so does every jungler so it evens out with gold funnel still being on top.

Burdenless hunter just breaks early aggro junglers that are behind in gold by virtue of not even farming all their camps.

I have a way better idea! Just rework this fucking old and broken Yi. And I mean a REAL rework not just a mini rework.

I dont agree that funnel is bad but I like the ideas anyway. Unfortunately any good ideas not posted to Twitter wont get seen and any posted on Reddit will get deleted, as will every piece of the boards in three weeks.
