New Boosting Strat Cropping Up.

Something I've run into twice now: Taric in the mid lane with a support item funneling all gold to a Master Yi, who essentially grabs double buffs, raptors, and dives the mid lane. Taric goes full support and funnels all income to the Master Yi.

So, something I have to bring up. Have you ever noticed how every conceivable boosting strat that ever starts to plague ranked games is nearly always centered on Master Yi? I distinctly recall Kayle Ardents rush top not that long ago. I think it sums up a problem with the champion itself.

We need to rework Master Yi so that he's not so face-roll auto-win when gold is funneled his way. That is the only way that these strats are going to be stopped. I know Riot's usual solution to gold funneling boosting strats is to nerf everything else around it, but Taric is in a bad enough spot as it is right now. The problem is Yi and this needs to be stopped with more than just a bandaid solution this time.

It's crap like this that ends up hurting the support role in the long run because our items and champs will get nerfed in response to other lanes abusing them like this.
