Can yuumi please get a few small buffs?
Seriously just some small things? Like maybe reducing the W cooldown (when it with CC) from 5 seconds to like 3-4? Maybe reward yuumi a bit more for leaving a player?

No.
That champion should never have been created to begin with.
Nope, her nerfs were once again asked for.
Sadly OP every mini rework in the past 2 years have: Made champions less fun to play, added more unhealthy gameplay, didn't fix anything, and kept the champion weak. I do not know why people keep asking for VGUs when the design team is this bad right now.
I don't understand why they underwent such big changes for her. Removing the staying on while TP'ed thing would've been enough to remove her from pro play. Mostly the W changes are what make her bad though. It seems like if the champion she's on dies she is basically guaranteed to die too even if she has teammates in range.
Just my thought as a Yuumi player myself, but maybe giving her back at least some of her slow on her Q would be a good start.
The 20% slow for one second has always just felt sad to me even more so now since the damage that got in nerfed in the first place has left as well. Sure the 80% slow (at max rank) was a bit too hard on those champs that had no mobility, but this 20% slow (at all ranks) is kind of a joke.
The last good mini rework i can think of was probably Zoe. you can say the champion is annoying thats fair but so are any other long range Mage like Lux or Ziggs but i digress.
The point is they nerfed her into the ground, asked Zoe mains what was important(i had less mastery on Zoe than i did on Yuumi when i got surveyed for the rework on Zoe, but nothing on Yuumi), and slowly brought her back up without destroying the kit and making sure she was still enjoyable to play. They hadled Yuumi in the worst way possible and dont seem to care about it.
Yuumi's Q and W definitely needs fixing. Q right now it feels like half and ability. Early game, It costs a ton of mana and just tickles people with a minor CC and long CD (like wth is that?). It needs to be either buffed or completely redesigned.
Second, what makes Yuumi unique and fun is to constantly attach and detach and take advantage of the two modes. To be honest, W should not have a CD at all. Instead, Yuumi should be balanced around instantly attaching and detaching. For example, I would much prefer that is balanced around Yuumi not being able to heal herself, but be able to attach/detach with no CD or restriction.
I mean her pick rate speaks volumes. Her pick rate before the "buffs" was 2.3% but now 1.22%. Meaning people preferred playing her at a sub 40% WR than at a 46% WR. The only support champion with a worse pick rate is sona and guess what, they reworked sona too. Starting to see a pattern. Funny enough at the rate she is going she is gonna fall under Sona in pick rate.
honestly shes fine ... i max E first now then W second .. Q isnt worth it for laning
i get they dont like yuumi being an artillery cat obliterating ppl with Q while being impossible to kill sitting in a tank, but they could just shift the Q damage to a mark that can be proc by the ally yuumi is attach to, and balance her kit around that
Was going to reply to this thread with my own proposal for Q, but then I realized that it would have to be accompanied by changes elsewhere in her kit and writing about those got too long so I figured it was more suited to its own thread. That thread is here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/HrrT8vxR-how-i-would-change-yuumi-to-address-both-her-winrate-and-her-brain-dead-ease-of-use
Tbf, if her W CD penalty would be reduced with cdr it would be a fair compensation.
I don't mind her current playstyle, but getting hit by even non movement restricting cc literally kills her 90% of the time atm.
I still play her after the rework but i wouldn't miss it if i could have her reverted tomorrow, i don't see why i cannot play yuumi as death missile yuumi when this nonsense exists.
