Please BUFF our poor cat Yuumi

I know Im getting so much hate by writing this, but please buff Yuumi. Like look at current op.gg man, although Yuumi now has 40% winrate(which is still far too low), but she used to 38% winrate. Can you call that a winrate of a champion? Yuumi's current status is literally an item like she is in TFT. I was playing ranked one time(gold elo), and my team thought I was trolling when I was hovering over Yuumi. Ever since the huge hotfix Yuumi got right after the release, she has only receiving nerfs, except for her E buff. With the recent support items changes, things only got worse for the poor cat...

She is supposed to be a strong laning champ, but she is not even that strong anymore. Her damage even gets out healed by most of healing or utility supports.

At least give back her mana-regen in her passive or increase the utility in her kit.

She needs something, especially considering she's one of the few dedicated support champs. Part of the problem is people don't understand how to play her, though. She's at 40% but you can seriously ruin everyone's day if you learn her kit (and I mean stop shoulder sitting and actually play the game).

Yeah I agree man. If Yuumi was like Asol, who has high winrate but low pickrates, I would understand. However, yuumi does have over 2% pickrates, which is just over complete non-meta champs.

The problem is she's too strong in competitive. Every nerf she got was because of pro play. There was a reason why she was near 100% pick/ban from the moment she was unlocked in pro play.

Part of the pro play issues were the cheese picks with Yummi. I think we'll see a lot less of these because of the XP/gold nerfs. Hopefully she gets some love soon. We'll see. I mean, we are only a week into preseason, and it's like live beta at the moment.

I don't know. I haven't seen Yuumi in pro plays since October, especially ever since Garen's new changes. Perhaps it was her comp with garen that was good? Given that half of times Yummi made appearance was with Garen.

yummi is number one boosting champ, just get ur challenger friend to adc and u play this stupid afk champ and ez dubs. this champion was never meant to be at average wr, either broken or trash tier, since her kit is so inherently toxic

I agree with you. She needs reasons to detach herself from her allies and she needs noticeable benefits when detached. She shouldn't be attached to an ally indefinitely early game, she should be detached 50/50 of the time in lane so she's forced to take risks sometimes for additional rewards. No amount of buffs or nerfs will fix her current design because its inherently flawed, in her current state she can just sit on her ally and spam abilities without interacting.

I suggest a change or buff in her passive. Really, passive and detaching for a quick second for ult are only 2 reasons Yuumis will ever decide to detach. By increasing benefits of her passive, Yuumi players can be more aggro and try to utilize their passives.

There was some cool ideas posted in another thread abouta champ from another game called MINA and the idea was adding a separate kit for Yuumi when detached that somehow interacts with her book. Personally I like Yuumi the way she is but adding complexity = adding fun imo (higher skill cap).

nah she is stronk you are just paired with weak adcs.

Yuumi's W change: If ally is hit by a Hard CC, Yuumi is knocked off them for 5/4/3/2/1 seconds.

Here, now you have a chance to kill little bugger, and you can properly buff her from here on out without worrying she will be opressive in lane or proplay.

Oh, and her tank initiation is also managable now.

THANK YOU RIOT! I HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!! FINALLY MY FRIENDS WILL STOP CALLING ME BRAINDEAD FOR MAINING YUUMI

This champion deserves to be deleted. It is the only champion I wholeheartedly volunteer to be absolutely and completely removed in every way.

Until we have a reliable way to knock her off of her partner and also incentivize her to detach, as well as add a real cooldown to it, it will never be balanced and will always be infuriating. Whether I'm against it in Bronze, Gold, or Diamond -- there is never a point where I want to see that champion on my screen; and I guarantee any player that is also Diamond+, will tell you that Yuumi is a disgusting champion regardless of whatever her win rate is and should remain nerfed.

Hating on the champ with rank 230 lowest win rate in the history of league ever kekw? You sound like you just want every mage support to be ez for you.

The q pretty much just serves to proc a bit of gold and add a minute amount of cc to hopefully cc chain a pick ur chasing. I'm a Yuumi main, you can find me streaming on Twitch TukiRaja if you want to see how an expert Yuumi player, plays. Well an expert most of the time kek.
