Literally all I see on the boards is "game balance is terrible," "nerf zed," "Riot doesn't listen." How about instead of complaining about Yi, Shyvanna, and Zed who are barely above average in strength --in fact I would argue that none of them are except MAYBE Zed-- you bother to learn counterplay. Zed's ENTIRE kit is literally nullified by 2 items. 2 ITEMS. Are you that lazy --Dare I say dumb?-- that you can't just click the search bar in the shop? Seriously just buy a Zhonya or QSS and press 2 every time he clicks R. It cleanses his ult AND duskblade.

As for Master Yi its like you guys have never heard of stuns NOR Thornmail. You people realize this champion is literally the definition of glass cannon? Even if he does the tanky style build --WHICH RIOT NERFED-- just pick nautilis and auto attack him one god damn time. Yes his Q can dodge things and let me introduce to this brand new 2016 strat created by myself: WAIT IT THE FUCK OUT (Patent pending). Either force him to use it to gap close by positioning correctly (what a thought) or have two forms of cc prepared to deal with him. Plus if you just have a thornmail on your tank/fighter this is a champion with literally 1 spell. He will literally commit suicide trying to kill your 3k hp thornmailed rammus --at which point that Yi will post on the boards about how OP Rammus is and about how shitty Riot is for releasing him as a champion.

As for Shyvanna they god damn nerfed her this patch for starters, how's that for community feedback? And she's not even that OP. Maybe if you hadn't have let her get 2 drags and a rift herald by 13 minutes leading to a 12 minute devourer --math checks out don't question it-- you wouldn't have such a problem dealing with her.

Seriously: ward, counter jungle, and deny. If you let a late game scaling DPS tank --Like jax-- free farm for 30 minutes you are gonna have a bad time. These champions are not breaking the game. Riot is not out to get you to keep you in Bronze. Most of you bronze players I've spectated/coached have at least silver-gold mechanics. I know you are good enough to climb just think. I watch you guys and you just don't think. Should I engage 1v5 at 40 minutes when baron is up? WELP ADC LOOKS TASTY LETS GO. LEEEROOOYY JENKINS. And some how riot lost you that game because the Braum peel was too strong. STOP your bullshit LOOK at the fucking minimap and place some wards and LISTEN to Riot because most of the time they have a better understanding of the game than you --unless you are a challenger player in which case you can gladly criticize as you actually bothered to get good at the game and using your brain.

EDIT 1: Fixed some paragraphs. EDIT 2: Forgot to mention. Devourer jungle essentially means there is no enemy jungler for the first 20 minutes as they are forced to farm --unless you are horrendously overextended with out the 2 wards it takes to cover 90% of bot lane gank paths. Just pick an early game jungler like Elise and punish them by non-stop ganking every lane. If you win every lane and get free drags they aren't going to be able to do much.
