Yuumi being tethered doesn't act the way it should.

I was watching a friend play an ARAM and it was a moment between a Karma vs Tahm/Yuumi. Karma tethered to the Yuumi and the cat attached to Tahm, she still took damage at the second root instance, but that's it.

That's weird. Like it's a hard cc that even Vlad can't escape from if he's chained in his pool, it should honestly detach her from her ally and root her as the ability does. She is too safe in general and that was just a weird interaction I happened to notice.

Champions with delays for their CC are screwed if there's a nearby Ally for Yuumi to attach to unless you catch her out the moment she tries to W

thats how it should be you go untargetable, not invulnerable

Zed also goes untargetable on his R but will still be hit by karma W, lb chain ect even if he times it properly

OP does not disagree that the tether should still hit Yuumi.

His point is that it is weird that Yuumi does not get CCed from the spell, unlike other untargetable tethered targets. If you tether a Vlad in his pool, then he will get rooted at the end and can't move anymore, even if he is still in his pool. But because Yuumi is attached to her ally and that ally isn't CCed, while she is, she will keep moving around with her ally, even if she technically shouldn't be able to move anymore.

OP is asking for Yuumi to get automatically detached from her ally, if she gets hard CCed by a tether.

She still takes damage(like any other untargetable champion does) She may be rooted, but she can't move by herself while attached anyway There is no logic in roots detaching yuumi from her ally. Might as well have roots breaking Skarner's ultimate or stopping dashing/knockbacked champions It should block her ability to W again for the root duration, but thats it Just don't focus the cat or throw some cc at her first

I think that his request is quite reasonable. It would be a very situational interaction, yet it would actually feel more fair in my opinion.

Currently, Yuumi is able to basically act as a spellshield for her allies for any kind of delayed CC. If they would make it that way that hard CC, which gets applied while she is untargetable, would detach from her ally, then this would provide true consequences for Yuumi if she gets hit by these spells instead of being almost completely immune to them.....

when she's played as intended she is tanking major spells by hopping off her attached ally. so lol.

That's my point, I don't think it is really fair that she can jump in high impact spells like Zoe's bubble, yet is able to completely negate any consequences from it because she gets untargetable immediately after.

but only 1 in 100 yuumi's is good enough to do that so who cares.

Well, I care, because I had games against Yuumis who did exactly that, body blocking key spells from me without facing any consequences.

so play leona into her and see if she still wants to catch those spells.

It won't be fair at all Karma's W is a targeted spell that she can't miss. So whenever Yuumi detaches, Karma can W her to 100% detach+root Yuumi, which will result in her death. The only way to counter her would be to never detach, which is what bad Yuumi players do.

Not true, Karma's W can also get removed by breaking the tether. Since Yuumi's attach spell is also a dash towards her ally, with proper positioning from your ADC and yourself, you can avoid getting rooted by dashing to your ally and getting out of the tether radius.

Posui GartSep 8, 20191 votes

Yes, she can, but its still too much of a risk. If an ally is not far enough, Yuumi will die. This will just result in Yuumi never detaching in fights being the best strategy for Yuumi player, which is bad both for Yuumi players and their opponents

yuumi still took the damage WORKING AS INTENDED
