Yummi just feels bad

I just don't get the point of Yummi. Its like playing sona but a horrible version of her. It feels like its for the support that wants to be like "look at all my assists and low deaths. Its all my ADCs fault" But in reality bot becomes a 2v1 for the most part and she does next to nothing for her ADC. A root ult is just god awful in the bottom lane when it takes multiple hits and doesn't stop the enemy ADC from still autoing down your carry. So it just feels pathetic in all honesty. And I think her winrate in ever rating proves that.

It feels like the almost wanted to make an Abatather style champion for Heroes of the Storm but forgot that the hat is bad and the power from an attachment character comes from giving them more to do. Creating creatures on the map to push and exude pressure. Yummi has all the down sides of being terrible and none of the upside of map pressure.

So you are saying the Queen of Poke is bad.

Yuumi is fantastic. It literally is the ADC's fault if they choose not to coordinate with her or learn her abilities.

Yuumi has a pretty strong damage Q with a slow letting you run down people, a 2 charge heal/speed boost that again help you survive all ins and run it down, a passive shield recharged by a quick leap off and reattach, high skill, and the ult is wonderful as long as your adc isn't stupid and walks away after you meticulously targeted it exactly where your adc should have been.

Sona cant keep up with and make assassins / bruisers unkillable without putting herself at risk, yuumi just hops on frontline carries and helps them 1v5..

Bro just had a game where this yuumi just stayed on GP and he couldnt be killed. Yuumi is fucking aids to play against. Like how the hell do you deal with whats basically a set of extra spells for a champion. All she does once late enough into the game is make sure the adc is unkillable. God i hate that fucking champion so much.

A really awful one does feel really bad. The bad yuumi's are really bad. And that makes me anxious and dread when I see one on my team. A good Yuumi, however, does feel great as the ADC; it feels like I finally have control of the lane. Its not my support. Its a strange kind of agency because you decide if your Yuumi's Q hits, you decide when to go in, you decide when to do this and that. A lot of the agency that I feel like ADCs lack is suddenly transferred to you if you have a good Yuumi.

Unfortunately, the good Yuumis are few and far between. And if they're not good, they often blame you for them not being good. :/ Which just makes playing with one exceptionally stressful. I agree that even with the good ones though, it feels a lot like you're 1v2'ing the lane if they have a hard engage support like Thresh, Pyke, Alistar, Blitz, Leona... There's actually nothing she can do to get them off her carry if they get engaged on, which they'll be fishing for engages constantly. I also feel like she isn't the best to have in heavy poke lanes; her poke is decent but her heals are miniscule unless you're super low health and her CD on it is ridiculously long. And her short AA range means that proccing her shield can be a little hazardous for her and all for naught.

I had no issues getting thru Silver to Gold in Flex playing her and found her kit highly impactfully in many games.

I recommend waiting a bit more so that its not something like 99.99% of her games tracked for win % to be players 50 matches or less. Many champions have very weak win % when players who have low # games make up a majority of the tracked data.

Lots of yuumis stay attached to long. Body blocking is part of her kit you should Interrupt combos with it.
