Yuumi is unfun to play against.

I'm honestly at the point where if the champion carrying Yuumi gets killed, she gets killed too. She already has a permanent escape ability, just needs one person to be nearby. All the Yuumi's running item 3041 because they can't die is super scummy. Yes I want to play a game where I have no chance of winning, that's what I've always wanted. Riot is such a pal.

Yuumi's design makes me want to puke.

She's not interactive at all, so I don't know how anyone could say she requires balls with a straight face. You could literally sit on your butt and eat bonbons while playing her and it would be the same as if you were playing her engaged.

They nerfed her to the point where she's entirely dependent on her team, so I wouldn't say she's unbeatable, but she's not winning or losing because of herself. She had to be nerfed to that point because her design is so overloaded. Yuumi is the enchanter done wrong, which sucks because they did a great job designing on the artistic side of things.

I was excited when I heard there was going to be a new champion who was really, seriously a cat, not just tantamount to a cat or turning into a cat. An actual cat.

Then I learned that Yuumi doesn't even move on her own.

The endless poke and panic-button ult that is effective even when used extremely haphazardly are indeed annoying.

Yeah still not as bad as Yasuo though.

So from an avid support main (and Yuumi main,) let me offer you some advice:

Your match history consists of a LOT of support Ziggs Malphite and Veigar. You're not going to beat like to hear this. If you really want to win lanes better, stop playing those champions, especially Malphite as support. If you want to be relevant against a champion that can heal, you need to be able to engage on her AD hard, and I mean like glue. And this isn't just good for Yuumi lanes, this is just how you should be approaching support in general.

Some recommendations for dealing with her:

1: Ban her if you don't want to see her, though there's better bans in the game right now.

2: Remix your pool of supports.

  • Veigar - Really doesn't benefit as much from support as he does from a solo lane. You might be able to catch people off of guard with his cage, but otherwise it's not too likely you'll get much poke off with the wave positioning the way that it does bottom lane.

  • Malphite - Offers some okay poke and some phenomenal engage potential after level 6, but that's where his biggest Achilles Heel lies. Pre-6 you're a walking sack of gold for Yuumi to poke down with her Q and Cut Down. He offers virtually no threat to an enemy AD who's smart about their own positioning and minion wave management.

  • Ziggs - Good for poke and making some cheeky picks, but you'll tend to AoE a wave and frustrate your own marksman more often than not. Turret-taking potential is huge, but Yuumi can heal up that poke pretty reliably.

If I had to make some recommendations, here's a few that have worked for / against me personally when played right:

  • Nautilus - The top of the top to make a Yuumi player sad. Especially early, if she hops off of someone and doesn't have her W available, it's a prime time to catch her out. Any engage that you go in on her expect to be summoner 14 and summoner 3, so make sure you're at level 3. Most Yuumis are probably still running Q max early, so you can take advantage of that.

  • Brand - Consistent poke, good CC, and a dominating lane-pressure spellcaster support, I firmly believe if you can avoid AoE'ing the wave too badly with him, you can make a lane super-easy.

  • Soraka - A Hidden-OP counter in my personal experience. If Yuumi goes out to shield-bop you, you simply E where her ADC is and engage with your own ADC. She can't do anything in that silence.

  • Blitzcrank - He puts the GOAL in GOLEM. For real though, a good blitz can wreck a Yuumi lane.

  • Thresh Pyke - These champs offer good chunks of CC and catch potential.

3: Play her and learn her weaknesses for yourself.

I'm not kidding, it will help you immensely to understand where she's vulnerable and most likely to fold in lane.

TL;DR: Yuumi is counterable, it falls on you though to review what you can do to counter her. She's in a much weaker state now as compared to release. As harsh as it sounds, you're going to have to learn how to avoid tilting the moment you see her on the enemy team. I believe in you on this, just try out some new champions in flex-queue, find what works and grow! You got this!

yuumi is fantastic, best support in the game. there is no teamcomp she does not fit into. you cant really "see" her power. requires balls to execute correctly. do not get goofied by her emote spam.

As a yuumi main i agree shes unfun to play against. I don't think she's op but i think they really need to hit how frustrating she is. Give her an actual cd on her w always. and maybe give her only 1 heal (with compensation) so people can punish her morea nd she isn't just all safe.

Yuumi it's almost THREE patches getting nerfed. Yuumi it's completly WEAK for almost 20/25 mins in game because all of this nerfs this means u can completly OWN the bot lane on early game. Her Q doesnt even do DMG on early or slow anymore.

I checked your account: Your supp winrate is at 30%, u just play ziggs and malphite as supp!!!!

Than i checked the match where u had Yuumi against u, bot lane was helped by their jungler Qyiana.

Before talking in this way you should first understand how to improve yourself.. cause 30% winrate as supp isnt that best for me.

What I hate with an unimaginable passion is that Yuumi just chooses the fattest carry on her team, sits on them for the rest of the match and scrolls 4chan with their other hand while making the carry they are sitting on essentially unkillable.

Happened yesterday. The enemy jungler, Volibear, got two kills early and Yuumi instantly left her lane to sit on Voli for the rest of the match. She occasionally pressed W to move on and heal her dying AD carry for about 400 hp, then pressed W on Volibear again. We can't kill the Yuumi because we can't kill the Volibear, we can't kill the Volibear because we can't kill the Yuumi.

Atleast she isn’t just some instagib brain dead monstrosity like everything else they’ve put out recently.

Bugog8/23/2019, 8:26:38 AM3 votes

I have three problems with Yuumi:

  1. item 3041 doesn't carry the normal risk/reward ratio.
  2. The cooldown on her ult is too fast.
  3. She has gold advantage because she doesn't need to buy boots, or upgraded boots. For a support 900-1100 gold at the end of laning is a significant lead.

The problem is that she is another of the zero or hero champs that have been released, and often times it comes down to having either significantly more skill, a good jungle, or you counter pick. The coin flip or counter pick meta sucks.

FlameHalbrdOkido8/24/2019, 2:22:37 AM3 votes

what they needed to do was design her to be more interactive and engaging idk why they went for the FULL non interactive type of champion anyways, she should be designed as 1 of 2 things, an excellent shield battery that builds a shield by dmging enemies with AA and Q when NOT on an ally, and by allowing her to do interesting things with said shield bwteen allies. OR they should have made her a mobility based support for the FULL team like her Lore says, either with portals, dashes, or blinks where she has to get off the ally 1st and lead they way. SOMETHING that gets her off the ally and encourages her to act for a bit on her own. This enchanter game design is SUPER lazy an unimaginative, it brings nothing new or interesting to the table besides the CODE behind the attach mechanic.

The only thing its got going for it is that Yuumis visual design will be super popular for certain people, but they coulda PUSHED that aspect more as well, ANY aspect of Yuumi they coulda pushed but they didn't.

It coulda been interesting if she made melee bot or mage laners more viable, that woulda been interesting, that might have saved her...idk maybe they can still do it.

I absolutely hate new champion's that riot has been recently adding to this game. They just seem like they have everything and are just better versions of older heroes. Every recent champion has a fucking stun, dash and/or shield and no counterplay, and their visual design makes me puke too. They are awful to play against and aren't even that fun to play with. I fucking despise riot games.

yuumi is by far the most braindead champion ive ever seen i dont even understand how people can say with a straight face that she needs skill and ive found people like this.riot made yuumi only for 1 reason to cater to the egirls.shes the most egirl esque supp.doesnt require skill,is op af,extremely easy.

Pick literally any hard engage support and she can't do a damn thing; she wins against poke, not everything. As a side note, whether support, top, or jungle, Poppy shuts her down almost harder than she does for LeeSin.

Nobody wants to play against any of the overloaded champions that Riot continues to push out. They're always fun or super interesting to play, but never enjoyable to play against.

I find her fine , just her Ult is not fun to play against because it cc you from a very long range

Yummi is the same, r%%%%%ed, cancerous design as Zoe and Neeko are. Who the fuck invents something like that and thinks it's good??

Last normal champion that was released and everyone were happy with was Kayn. No r%%%%%ed mechanics, no binary mechanics. Everyone loves him, no one says shit about him.

Increase her base HP and HP scaling, but make her take a percentage of the damage her attached ally takes, and let her heal heal her for a percentage of the amount the attached ally heals for.

e.g. Yuumi takes 30% of the damage her ally takes, but her heal also heals her for 30% of the amount her ally heals for. Of course numbers can be changed but that's just an example.
