People think Yuumi is sooo easy *eye roll*

Let's just make a list of why she's not because she's extremely misunderstood:

-She's EXTREMELY squishy and relying on another squishy champion (Normally the ADC) for the first half of the game because she is support. -Her damage is a tickle compared to other supports (Karma, Bard, Brand, Lux, Morg... hell even Janna.) -She doesn't have the ability to escape from anyone if she's alone, meaning once your ADC dies or anyone else you so choose to attach to, you're basically screwed unless you got flash or an ally comes by. Keep in mind tho, CC stops her W too. -Her heals are limited to her OR her ally, so you have to choose: Keep yourself alive longer to heal more people by healing yourself or risk healing your ally and if they die, you will die too. -She can't tank, although SO many expect her too. She's not built for tank, hell an enemy Draven can 3 shot her at level 2 prolly. -You have to rely on your Ally to be in the right place, if they stand out and get dunked on by a Darius or a damned Rammus, you're basically screwed. Especially if you are going to ult... too many times you go to ult as Yuumi and your ally Caitlyn decides to E away from the enemy... Yuumi has to consistently ult before she can stun anyone, not just proc it like a Sona ult. -Her shield doesn't just SHOW up, she HAS to auto attack in order to gain it. So this means, just cause' Yuumi is attached to you, it doesn't mean you are shielded.

i'm sorry, but yuumi is super super easy. if you ever miss a spell then it's your fault, and your brain will tell you that it's your fault, or at most the weird aiming mechanics when it reaches max range and you either haven't shifted your camera or your attached ally hasn't shifted. heal is untargeted, you press it it happens, at least janna someone has to channel her ulti to get the heal or even click on the right person to shield the right person. her W (yuumi's) will get nerfed, to what state i don't know but it's totally gonna get nerfed because allegedly rakan can't be jumpy so yuumi definitely can't be jumpy and she will likely be more interruptible in the future. her ult like you know it's never the enemies skill that they dodged it it's that you aimed like a spoon.

how do i know all this? cause i play yuumi any time she's available and i'm in teh mood to support or autofilled. that champ is broken but oh well no one wanted to wait for people to figure out how to use her so instead rito hotfixed her. not even gonna get onto the shield and it's interactions, all that needs to be said is that rito will be looking at yuumi specifically any time they want to buff or introduce a shield/heal strength item. not janna, or karmaymay, or luludog, or namizilla, or sona, or any of that fruity shit, they'll have to assess what the item does on yuumi every single time. and even then they won't be able to assess shit because it will never account for what does yuumi do when she latches onto her farmed up top laner and makes them 3 champions. so yeah yeah yuumi is piss easy, honestly easier than sona.

and her heal is A LOT stronger than poor Sonas. But ye rito thinks nerfing Sona is a good idea XD Halfing the movementspeed buff almost kills her...

She is easy though. I play her myself and not bad at that and she is very easy. Because you cant get hit you have time to concentrate more on everything else. Her "Tickle" gets fast very opressive cause its always hitting and a sure source of dmg and slow if you aint boosted. Yuumi can tank some things. Like Zoes bubble. Just get out of adc, and in her again before you sleep. So yes she is easy. Sorry to ruin your post man.

Yuumi is incredibly easy. Sure there may be a small skill ceiling but her skill floor is lower than even Janna.

Yuumi is probably the easiest champ in the game tbh. At least when you fuck up on other simple champs like Garen or MonkeyKing you die for it. Yuumi just picks another target lol

She is easy, just team reliant.

And she isn't THAT squishy, ive been able to leave my adc to block hooks...yes HOOKS Thresh ...for them and then immediately using w to go back onto them at the cost of only half my health, meanwhile we get a double kill and i can just jump back off to heal back up.

I feel that everyone misunderstands what exactly yuumi is and how to play with her. I'm going to write what I've gathered from a couple of games as Yuumi with a duo and without a duo.

Yuumi as a champ is rather straightforward with an untypical but linear playstyle. She has decent harass into the right lanes and can aid her partner (adc usually in the early/mid game) with her okayish sustain and movespeed buff.

The thing with her is that you have to later dump your adc and prioritize sitting on a bruiser/engage because usually that is the person who is going to go headfirst into the enemy team and take damage. This also dramatically increases your chances of landing your Ult and it aids the bruiser catch up to the enemy with the movespeed and the slow that you provide.

Once you have successfully assisted in an all in, you have to scout your team and choose who you're going to protect/who is in risk of dying and shield them. Typical shielding/healing support at this point.

Yuumi as a champ is fairly easy to play but you're also dependent on your partner KNOWING HOW TO PLAY WITH YUUMI. This is EXTREMELY vital if you want to have a successful game as yuumi. If your partner cannot adapt and learn to play with a yuumi support then you've almost auto lost the lane/game.

Tl;dr : Yuumi's difficulty lies in the fact that her teammates don't know how to play with her rather than being a difficult champ in itself.

Do let me know if you've any more thoughts or if I've got something wrong, I'd love to learn!!

Ever vigilant Leona
