why does yuumi have damage anyways?

if riot is gonna treat her Q on a ultimate cost of nearly 100 mana. they should just replace it with a another non damaging move instead of a weak ultimate costing attack. it would be more better that way as a enchanter. since damage isnt worth it if all your doing is tickling the enemy team. i rather do 0 damage as yuumi with her Q replaced with another utility spell instead of a 2 second damage missile in games like lol that range sounds pretty melee to me in comparison of 3 seconds. why does she have a weak damaging move thats so weak it practically heals the enemy team that also costs a ultimate amount of mana?

Because champions have value in areas that aren't purely damage. You gonna get upset that Nasus E does negligible damage?

Tristana jump must be a terrible skill too since it hardly does any damage.

Udyr bear stance is worthless since it isn't phoenix or tiger.

Thanks for the late night laugh.

nasus E does AOE debuff so the weak damage makes up for it from 15 to 25% armor reduction.

tristana has a prework kassadin jump that resets on kills/stacked charge so i call bs on that one there.

bear stance helps ghost through minions while also heavily speeds up which is a utility ablity in itself that only gets a stunning auto attack. phoenix however is pretty useless which AGAIN is damage so low that it heals your enemy but considering its low cost its a necessary evil.

those are poor examples the one that insulted me was the nasus one since i played nasus recently i know that his abilities have a reason to exist. his Q is free AD that cant crit but only on that ability the stacks get used so it has most value of all his skills. his W is both a defense/offense move. E allows for 15 to 25% debuff to allow 15- 25% more stack damage to get through them or use it on a teamfights. with his R you basically get free stats and a Q timer cut in half this is purely a combat spell unless ofc you wanna swiftly stack it in a way its utilized that way managing risk/reward of it.

that still doesnt justify the fact a weak damage spell on yuumi is put on a ultimate cost with a decreased missile timer. either yuumi is getting old or her book is defective but im pretty sure older books and spending more mana equals more power or at least that SHOULD be the rule of thumb.

Yuumi Q has no reason to exist other then just a excuse to damage someone if it even managing to hit its practically 2 second missile melee ranged channel. (filling a missing spot in other words so they just had just cuz they ran outta ideas)

but im guessing your a yuumi one trick where you tell me that her Q is better then I say it is.

I am a Yuumi main and I think the same, basically.

Originally [Q] had decent damage and mana cost, which was too op. Okay...

I still do not get why an enhancer gets more damage than CC, take a look at [Q] after its Slow nerf. At least it was able to deal damage somehow for a hilariously high mana cost, but was manageable if used it well. Then you got your item 3028 and were happy with it.

Now, the damage gets lowered with the control time and the mana cost raises even higher. The Slow is unchanged? Why?

The new change forces Yuumi to sit on someone without the thought of leaving the host at all. 5 sec penalty on [W] if you got rooted, knocked, stunned? It is MUCH more than enough to die as a Yuumi. 0.2 cast time? Really? It seems little but it is much more than enough for a Blitzcrank to catch you, when you try to lure him into failing his grab.

There is no REASON to risk your life and leave your host. You give even more Adaptive Force than before. Flat and scaling one! You NEED to sit and press that one heal you have, while building FULL AP.

This [Q] shall be reworked into a controllable CC blast. Like its original state with lowered damage. It was great for chasing or to slow down a chasing enemy.

Now, this skill is literally garbage.

thx for agreeing with me (not a circlejerk post either) at least im not the crazy man on the lonely hills. now i feel like a long sword early game while late game its close to 2 long swords with 20% deathcap-ish effect adaptive force. considering switching to the Ap shield income item item 3858 due to i dont have to leave my host to earn money. havent tested it yet.
