Yuumi is probably the worst pick for solo queue

Disclaimer - I know Yuumi is new and most player dont understand quite how her kit works just yet but i stand by what i say

Does anyone else think that Yuumi has no place in solo queue? Because I've played many games and I've never won lane with her as my support (unless its my duo partner and we are in discord/teamspeak together. and also I've always won a lane against her, She basically turns a lane into a 2v1 because she doesn't provide much early/mid even late game her Q and E are lack-luster compared to the fact that you pretty much give up your lane. Her w doesnt really provide too much help on most ADC's and if you draft yuumi early in pick phase the enemy can just pick a hyper aggressive adc (MF, Draven) or pick a Hyper carry like jinx and to some extent Jhin and pick support with lots of engage (leona, braum thresh blitz and pyke) and give the carry so many kills cause the lack of a second person to soak some damage.

Would like to know what you guys think of it all though :D

People have to play her so people can understand her

I got her to work really well by going full support with aery and runes that augmented shield power and heal power. It could also be that i'm low elo but i found her heal with high CDR is semi reliable on the other hand trying to play her AP seems to suck and takes too long to fire up. IMO though yeah i think it's intentional sabotage atm because besides the adaptive damage she provides zero to the table for her marksman and it just makes it easier to win botlane if a yuumi is on enemy team.

If riot reworks yuumi and still wants this kind of gameplay maybe remove adaptive damage and make yuumi sponge % damage taken by her adc or target instead of just "ADAPTIVE DAMAGES!"

honestly one of the biggest problems I see is that people are Q maxing then trying to damage. They don't get they are supposed to be enchanters and should be E then W max then building a Grail with a mikhail and ardent(does the percentage on w increase with level? If so then that should be second). So that they buff their healing,buff their allies damage, and buff their allies attack speed. sole purpose should be building Alot of AP and healing while grabbing items that can break your attached person out of CC.

You aren't brand,zyra, or sona. Stop trying to be a mage support people.

Heck, I havent seen anyone abuse guardian keystone yet.
