We're witnessing the birth of the new role meta

Remember when jungling became a thing? A couple of pros decided it was more efficient, did it, perfected it, it was OP, and then became meta? Double jungles are the final role meta, unless something gets radically changed. This Yi jg Taric mid business isn't the final form, but it's a start. One champ in every lane, and a double jungle, hyper-carry and tank, following each other and counter jungling from the start...that's the final form. It'll take a very particular sort of player/champ combo in bot lane to make it happen, as they'll have to be so passive that two champs can't get them, but I've done it. It's the most efficient way to use all of the XP/Gold available on the map.

No Gold funnelling allows someone to take two ressources out of 4 this has nothing to do with double jungle

Double Jungle just has too many negative externalities on a team You simply cannot gold fast enough. Can't level fast enough. Trust me. I've had enough support trolls try to grief/stalk and steal camps. The fact jungle XP is not shared prevents this from ever being a possibility.

And then they begin leeching lanes, which puts the lanes behind relative, in both XP and gold, making everyone weaker on one team.

Jungle meta made sense. Less of a burden on one laner.

Double jungle meta makes no sense. Heavy burden not only on the core jungler, but also on the other laners, because one of the junglers cannot XP otherwise.

Gold funneling works because XP is shared.

Double Jungle does not.

I think double jungle has pro's and cons. The reason the current "Funnel" tactic works is because it's happening in mid lane where there is only one opponent. What you are suggesting would lead to a 2v1 in bot lane. While I have also considered this being an option, not many champions can 2v1 at level 1. The advantages of double jungle are good (you can gank more, there are champions that are very strong at invading, and even items that will help subsidize getting less jungle clear item 3252 for those that can build it, but until the bot lane 2v1 situation can be resolved I don't see it working.
