Yi with jungle item + boots is too strong

For a champ that scales so hard with every item he gets, finally melting whole teams in like 5 seconds at level 18 full build, this champ starts the game off way too strong.

Its not just yi, reworked nasus and stuff are also in the same boat, vayne as well. Ever since runes reforged, all these massive 25 min+ carries are now 1 item carries.

Damage flash and snowball is understandable as gameplay style, but late game champs being so strong early, and early game champs still not scaling well into late game is just stupid. Especially since SoJ removal that gave champs like renek significantly improved late games, why play renek these days unless you are high elo and very confident in being able to snowball a lead in a 20 min win?

Nasus has a similar ult, is very safe in lane compared to before runes reforged and his nonsense level 6 ult (health and magic damage and a little bonus resist is all he had, they went and made his stacking 3x faster and gave him 50% cdr and bonus range on Q for no reason). At level 6 nasus with 50 farm with 1v2 the level 5 jungler and his enemy laner quite easily if he builds right. Why play renek when you have intense pressure to not only snowball but also translate it into an early win or be a meat shield if you fail?

i know they reworked diana to give her some more early game power, but im finding shes in the same boat. played viktor into her and had 1 kill and even cs. all she had was dorans ring boots and mana item, i had blasting wand and dorans and base proto item. At full health she jumped on me, I got everything off, including ignite, full duration ult, and w stun, still lost by a sliver. her ult base damage isnt even supposed to be strong on 1 person (and its not all that strong), but stuff like this simply should not happen.
