Views: 13958 How to Counter a Jungle Yi?

Report
Now I consider myself an avid 
Kha'Zix player, particularly in the Jungle. However, I've noticed that whenever there is a Master Yi that is a jungler on the other team, he constantly counter jungles me and beats me. Every time. Granted this has happened only twice, but both times I was slaughtered in the same fashion. Here's a bit of info to describe my situations...
He always catches me at red buff, killing both me and stealing my buff. I know that this is because of a ward, because he uses Alpha Strike at exactly the right moment. So I plant a ward around my red and blue buffs (spending 150 gold, mind you) and hopefully catch him before he catches me. However, it's almost as if he KNOWS where I place my wards, because he avoids them at every turn. Killing me at the same buffs. Shutting me down before I even begin. I typically place wards by red in the bush directly north of the camp or behind the camp, but always they are avoided.
Please, let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to shut down Yi. I always jungle Elise and Kha'Zix in ranked play, and each time it's a Yi that beats me. What's the best way to counter Yi? (And yes I know pink wards, but I'm looking for advice other than just ".... Pink ward?")

Have you tried counter jungling him before he can get to you? If you catch him at level 2-3 he probably won't have meditate yet so you can just do what Kha does best. Kill things really quickly.
Even though I consider myself a good Jungler, I don't feel I am good at counter jungling. Usually bites me in the arse if I do so. But I will take that into consideration. Thank you for your input.
