Why is Yuumi - a champion with below 45% win rate - being nerfed AGAIN?

For those of you who dont know, the cat buff has some nerfs on PBE that are baffling to say the least.

Prowling Projectile (Q) Mana cost changed from 85/90/95/100/105/110 to 90 at all ranks empowered damage lowered from 50/95/140/185/230/275 to 45/80/115/150/185/220 [New] now adds +3/4/5/6/7/8% of target's current health as damage

Yeah it does independently scaling damage now, but nobody maxes this ability because its a gutless wonder. It has no place on a champion as squishy as Yuumi... Nerf the damage, but please give us real mana costs! Fourty that scales up to 80 would be lovely!

Zoomies! (E) healing changed from [70/110/150/190/230 (+30% AP)] to[70/100/130/160/190 (+40% AP)]

Probably the most baffling nerf of all... -40 base healing for a 0.1 scaling increase means that to break even Yuumi will have to buy 400 additional AP. I build her mana personally, but without a CDR buff to complement this particular nerf its weakening an already very weak champion further for no reason.


I have to wonder if a rioter lost to a Yuumi in URF or something and just decided to nerf the frack out of her to be petty...

Because Riot knows they goofed. They created a champion with a skill floor far below even the most basic champs in the game so they've rightfully buried her
