Yuumi just needs some buffs and ability tweaks

I think that Yuumi has potential but right now her abilities just aren’t strong enough. For instance Yuumi Q it’s very unique and a cool design with a good travel time but the damage is just to low. With her q damage being so weak it’s innefective to poke down an enemy without wasting all your mana or do anything in team fights because it only hits one target. Yuumis W is quite interesting and I enjoy using it but the fact it’s range is so short it becomes useless in team fights where a team might be more split apart. If yuumis ally who she’s attached to dies in the frontline Yuumi will be stuck in the frontlines with no time to run towards allies in the back lines. She’s just to squishy for her W not to have a scaling range that gets bigger each level, if her w did scale it would match her ability to give healing to allies and maneuver her ultimate across the battlefield. Now yuumis E I think it’s pretty cool and similar to taric heal but I feel like seeing how Yuumi has no hard cc other than her ult her heal is just useless because it really doesn’t do anything to help an ally from burst damage. Yuumis heal is just to small to make a difference. Yuumis passive is a really cool idea seeing how she shares adaptive damage and whatever shields she has she gives to her ally attached with W but the thing hindering that from being effective is the fact Yuumi is so squishy with a small auto attack range if she wants to make her passive useful she has to put herself in jeopardy although her W counts to counteract that her W range is as I said to short.

It feels like playing a weaker version of Rakan she really is terrible im a support main myself i was excited for yuumi to come out but after like 6 games with her and diff builds form tanky, utility, and ap she is just garbage in all of them so underwhelming her ulti is ok but thats it just ok and the rest of kit while very different and indeed fun to play is ruined by how she makes really no impact in the game at all.

I don't know if she's 'weak' per se, but her kit has an unbelievably terrible power balance. The Ap/ad sharing of her W works 'too' well with some champs and the untargetability/mobility of her kit basically makes her guaranteed to be the last to die in a fight (exceptions obviously). Because of that, the rest of her kit 'has' to be weak. If they nerf her W by making it A. maybe not give HER ap/ad based on her teammates stats and B. somehow adding a window of weakness. Seriously, her power balance is so out of wack. Her fantasy is some champion jumping enchanter character, who bops people and is mobile etc., but she just doesn't live up to this. I think this is in part because of the design of her ult as well, though I don't know how to really fix or redesign that.

I'm more concerned with her being interesting than being good. Currently, every other enchanter is simply better. She's as boring as soraka with like 1/3rd the impact on a game. ALL her abilities need DIFFERENT functionalities when attached to an ally to at least make her somewhat interesting. Also her attack range is so fucking bad.
