Yi Taric, Nunu Karthus strat

PLEASE FIX THIS SOMEHOW, the strategy that a support can go mid and jungle can take all mid and jungle experience than me 2 items and 3 levels ahead of everyone allows karthus jungle with nunu mid to 1 hit Penta kill with R button, the yi thing is more well known but this whole strategy breaks the game. Just played a game with a karthus jungle/mid and nunu following him around the karthus level 6 when everyone else level 3-4 hits ult mid adc and support die instantly, then again every time karthus ult is up. meanwhile the whole team has to build mr and still died every time while their top laner was 1/11 feeding the whole game and they still win. This is the most broken thing I have ever seen and it is not even a hack. Please fix this NOW before more people begin to abuse this.

The problem isn't as simple as nerfing yi and every other champ that can carry by taking jungle and mid farm, rather it should be to prevent the support mid lane interaction where the support doesn't have to do anything at all to win the game, no farm needed etc...

From my point of view how to fix this is actually quite simple, Taric isn't really the issue here he only just helps Master Yi to survive. I think the way to solve this is to seriously just nerf Master Yi or just finally rework him to not be so bland, and one functional (as in just running up to someone and right click until they die).

This isn't the first time that there was a similar boosting strat, during season 7 when Ardent Censer was meta there was a strat where someone would pick Kayle top and Master Yi jungle and Kayle would rush Ardent Censer and when she hits level 6 they would dive the enemy top laner.

I would love a Yi re-work, but nerfing yi won't stop the strat from working with any other snowball champ.

You are 100% wrong in that Master Yi is the problem. The problem here is supports can function quite well with 0 farm. This same strat works with Udyr / Taric. it gives 4 second stuns. The issue is the jungle changes. They nerfed the jungle incredibly hard.

I used to hit level 6 at the same time I got my jungle item. Now I have smite item + 2 daggers at lvl 6. that is a 1025 gold reduction over a very short duration.

I mean just ban karthus? but yeah kind of annoying and I can see how it works really well. Karthus carries the early game then yi cleans up if it gets late. Heck, karthus will be doing a lot of dmg too and yi just cleans up with that broken essence reaver build lol... why ive been banning yi... Essence reaver kind of needs a hotfix imo. Lots of champs its like: cast ulti, invis/stun every 2 seconds, profit.

there is no cleanup, karthus 1 hit kills the whole team, that's the part u don't understand.

just ban the champions. Dont cry over it when its a stratagy that you dont know how to play around. if you fear of having that done then ban Yi BOOM the strat is impossible now

This is called players adapting to a broken jungle patch/s (Scuttle is really the problem) once Jungle isn't in such a gimped state again you will see less of this. Jungle changes have given a lot of jungle mains less desire to play jungle and see a lot of autofill and soon will 2 top will slowly creep up until they fix it.
