Yuumi Invisibility "Exploit"

Kurø ˉ·May 28, 2019·3 votes·1,583 views

It's becoming a common strat now to play champions with invisibility as Yuumi's teammates so that all of Yuumi's abilities become invisible. Yuumi using abilities will not reveal the champs she is attached to so she can apply dmg and slows freely while being invisible the entire time.

If this is an intended effect for Yuumi then she will never survive the ban phase again. Invisibility is already a touchy subject and now making Yuumi the strongest invisible champ is making games with her in them unplayable.

This should be considered an exploit at best and I believe it needs to be fixed ASAP.

Her abilities are not invisible when stealthed.

I believe this is working as intended as Riot probably did not want to ruin the stealth mechanics of champions by having an attached Yuumi made clearly visible.

you can she her abilities go off, you just don't have a great idea of where they are coming from (due to being invis)

Playing as and against Yuumi as well as watching youtube videos after discovering this I can say without a doubt that her abilities have been completely invisible multiple times.

*Edit: Her abilities show up late it seems, and in her battle academia skin this is furthered to the point where you can be hit by the first wave of her ult or her q can be at about 1/4 its max range before the abilities appear on screen. This makes it less egregious that this is in the game, but still very much has no counter play especially considering the low level of skill it takes to pull it off

Given she has a single damaging basic ability, I feel like the actual potential is minimal. This isn't like Zoe's stars from across the map, we're talking about a dedicated two-man team throwing out a single guided missile ever six seconds. It's a meme build. Obnoxious but not dominant.
