Adding more depth to Yuumi's passive?

I was thinking about a possible adjustment to Yuumi's passive "bop n block." Currently every few seconds she can auto enemies to get a shield, this shield can then be transferred to an ally she attaches to. I think it would be interesting if instead of simply having her transfer the shield she gets from bop n block, she instead transferred ANY shield she gets to her attached ally. Currently the most popular secondary runes on Yuumi are presence of mind and cut down, I've asked around a bit about why presence of mind in particular is so popular and people simply respond that it's "the best option" not particularly amazing on Yuumi, just out of their given options there aren't any that are "better." If Yuumi had the ability to transfer shields to her allies other than her base passive shield then instead of presence of mind that would open up the choice to instead take "Overheal" and Yuumi could transfer that shield as well. In addition to this Yuumi players would also have the option of taking barrier as one of their summoner spells, currently barrier would be useless to a Yuumi, but with this change to her passive she could use it protectively for the ally she's attached to. I know riot won't see or care about this post but I'd like to hear your thoughts anyway. Do you think this change would be good, or would it be way too op?

I am a Yuumi main by myself and I see your point of view however, it would make her way too overpowered. I mean, just imagine the shield items in the game. Not enough there would be a summoner 7 and a summoner 21 for the ADC, you even could make item 3190 for a dual shield boost.

Overheal hardly would work since Yuumi does not heal herself but her ally.

This passive is definitely not the best in the game, also, it even got nerfed (no more mana restoration). In late game, it is even dangerous to use in the middle of a fight cuz you easly could die, but it can provide a nice amount of shield for someone.

Since everyone is crying about that she never leaves the host, make her passive's cooldown freeze when she is attached (or make it work like WW's W. High cooldown on base and faster countdown when not attached). In the other hand, raise its shield amount or AP scale.

Guardian would instantly become game breaking on her.
