Nerfing Yi Q a step in the right direction, but is it enough?
So there is a pretty awesome nerf coming to a yi that might hurt his "strategy" where he takes all the farm from jungle and shoves midlane with his taric mid, where his Q will do less damage to minions hurting his shove and xp gain.
So basically what this will do is make him spend more time midlane clearing the wave, whereas now he can almost one shot the wave, shove it in seconds and go back into the jungle and be back for the next wave, allowing him to stack shit ton xp and hit high levels earlier and allowing him to snowball and increase his xp gain speed aswell.
BUT! Is this enough? maybe for yi but there are plenty other champs that can use the similar cheese strategy, for this I think they should completely rework smite, making it not only give bonus xp in jg but give less xp from lane minions making it harder for enemy junglers to catch up by just soaking lane xp and abuse similar strategies .[galio-happy]
