Yi Jungle/Kayle Top (Support) Lane Strategy

Irìss·8/7/2017, 8:57:14 AM·1 votes·451 views

Anyone else played against this as of late? Yi farms jungle until 6 and then goes top lane for the rest of the game and dives the top laner and pushes towers. Kayle has Windspeakers and goes first item Ardent, and they can basically dive level 6 with no problem because of her ult as well. This usually allows them to snowball to the point where they can easily 2v3, and within the 20 minute mark they can 2v5 a team that does not have the appropriate comp to deal with it. I've played against it twice, both games I have lost before the 25 minute mark even when mid and bot lane start out 4 kills ahead, and this is mid diamond tier players getting absolutely destroyed by it. Just wondering if anybody shares my frustration with it? Or if anybody knows how you counter it? It literally is not even fun trying to play against it and I wish this was not a thing ):

Played against it once, won my promos against that strat.

It's strong but not unbeatable. Then again this was high silver. A diamond Yi would be terrifying.

I am but a lazy mediocre gold, but you have my support against it. Remove Kayle's r, invincibility with no down side has no place in mobas. Praise Morgana.

It is a very sickening strategy. I've played against it three times, and with it once. Of course the one time I play with it they did it completely wrong, and lost the game. Only thing I can think is once Yi gets his jungle item and moves into the toplane your team should siege mid. It's beatable if you can kill kayle and cc Yi while you do so, then turn on Yi. Without Kayles W (people fawn over the Kayle R but its honestly the heal with ardent sensor giving him magic on hit and incredible movement speed thats the issue) he is just a normal yi waiting to get blown up.
