Top 3 junglers (yi, xin, udyr) way to easy and strong to play

Im not saying any of these 3 are op, but I think it would make for better quality games if junglers with more mechanics were top tier.

Yi - extremely low skill cap. Just have to know the best times to alpha strike and heal. Other than that it's all positioning and decision making like everyone else.

Xin- extremely easy rotation: 2 skills that you push before you use a target dive followed by aa. His ult can make some high skill cap plays but his gameplay is hardly made worse if you can't.

Udyr- 4 push to click moves that all involve one thing... Auto attacking.

All 3 of them can refuse to gank and get sated.

They all have: fast clear Attack speed Nuke Low skill cap

None of these are top picks. They're all just low elo stomp champions. Udyr has been seeing a lot of play in high elo, but honestly he's pretty trash if you understand that you just need to waveclear efficiently against him.

These happen to be my 3 highest mastery champions. 140k on Udyr, 60k on Xin, 52k on Yi. I played them mostly before they were considered "OP" though.

I agree that Yi is rather strong right now, but... are you drunk? Yi is one of the hardest champions to play at a high level.

Their is a reason why the three of them don't see competitive play, they are all completely all in. Yi you let and go right in and start slashing everyone and a good team will CC you to death, Udyr he revolves around smacking you with his bear form and keeping you locked down but is super easily kited with somebody like a lucian/braum combo, a quinn, gnar, just about anybody that can kite can keep away from Udyr so he can't keep you locked. While Xin is strong right now with the buff to his W, he falls into the same place that the other two are at where kiting and hard CC will screw him. Their are much better jungles such as Elise, Rek-sai, Sejuani, Mundo, Evelynn, Graves, just to name a few. I would say Jax, but he falls into the same position that Yi, Udyr, and Xin fall into

Jax, xin and yi all have very similar builds. And he has survivability with cc. He's like yi. When he hits 6 he's a monster

Depends on the elo you are in... all three of them have limited mobility as they don't have a hop or terrain skip so the higher you climb the more that will be taken advantage of. Sure udyr has crazy movement speed but it's not the same as a JG that can just hop over a wall. However in lower elo most won attack move kite and will stand still even when they are ranged and let those 3 get in melee and just AA them to death. The other thing is in lower Elo even if the AA champ is getting ahead most just follow 1 set build path..i don't know how many times I finish a game with a yi in it and not 1 person on the enemy team built thorn mail, hardly any armor, nothing to slow attacks etc etc.
