How To Counter Funnel Strategies?

The new Big Thing in the Professional League of Legends meta is the funnel strategies. This strategy is tiresome to watch and is dismissed by the analysts and critics of this game. It is an essential strategy for the G2 winning games with Kai'Sa funnel in EU LCS. This funnel strategy is also used by Echo fox with Lucian oriented funnel in NA LCS. You need the perfect counter to these strategies. You can use the following strategies to defeat your enemies.

Using Assassins

It is a simple concept, yet the riskiest counter strategy available. We know that the funnel strategy is based on the primary damage sources that are the funnellee like Lucian Rün or Master Yi Rün. In the absence of damage sources, you will be quandary to decide what to do. In this situation, you can use an assassin. The role of the assassin is to kill the funnelled champion to efface the only damage source. This will oppose the effect of the funnelling strategy and will create the optimum win situation. This strategy can be successfully implemented by Zed Rün. A player who is adept in the art of using assassins can take this risky step and nullify the funnelling plan.

Killing Side Lanes On Repeat

The jungle role for your team is removed due to the funnelling strategy. This is considered as one of the biggest flaws of the funnelling strategy. You are a deficit in jungler to protect your side lanes though you have a smite to protect your mid-lane. The funnellee will be vulnerable due to unprotected side lanes so they can be camped and killed on repeat. The non-damaging parts of a team fight require a team along with the funnellee. If these team members are left behind, then they will be easily targeted and killed, leaving the funnellee alone. This counter-strategy aims at removing the team members of the funnellee so that the funnelling strategy can't be implemented.
