Just delete Yuumi, please.

She is so hated by LC$ that she gets nerfed every other patch despite being one of the lowest winrate champs in the game, and having damn near fucking zero impact unless one of her teammates is doing well.

Now we're making her Q an actual troll ability, costing nearly 100 mana, but doing less damage than a Soraka Q, and now it doesn't even have the slow that made it worth leveling. Yuumi will be reduced to an AFK stat stick that occasionally heals you, and that is not what the champ was designed to be.

So, since LC$ is the only thing that matters, and she's not conducive to fla$y big play$, just delete her. Please. Maybe I'd quit League then, since I have over 500 games on her and only enjoy playing anymore because of her.

Or, alternatively, you could try giving a singular fuck about the 99.99% of the playerbase, Riot. But that's not how you make money, so nevermind. You're just hurting for that cash, seeing how you make billions per year.

The problem with your argument is you're acting like people in soloq don't hate her as well. Despite having such a low winrate, she's maintained a high ban rate across every elo for her entire time on the rift. She feels horrible to play against, and horrible to play with. Her kit is just toxic by design for everyone but the yuumi player. Making any champion untargettable for 90% of the game while giving them a near impossible to miss AOE root, near impossible to miss poke with a potent slow, healing, a speed up, and a shield, was just destined to be nerfed into oblivion.

Or, let's stop making her uninteractive with literally PERMANENT UNTARGETABILITY

My suggested changes are to make it so there's more emphasis on the passive and less on her heal and Q so she's encouraged to hop off her adc often, leaving her vulnerable. Additionally, i think if the ally she's attached to gets hit by crowd control, Yuumi should be forced to hop off, that way she has to press her W in fights to be optimally played

This champ was a mistake, and shes exactly what everyone predicted she will be. A braindead 2 button click champ with no counterplay.

I wish they’d just take a step back and address her issues rather than doing the old “hurt durrr lower her numbers”

For example off the top of my head some ideas:

  • make her Q harder to land by increasing its turn radius, giving her less reliable poke in lane instead of just repeatedly nerfing the numbers

  • Make her W tether temporary so she’s not literally always untouchable, or have a timer for how long she can stay on a champion in a given amount of time.

  • get rid of her level 1 automatic W so she’s more susceptible to pressure from enemy champions

When a champion’s kit is this abusable simple number changes won’t cut it, but Riot can get too lazy to actually try and think about better options because worlds is on the way, and they got to make that $$$.

Hell, if they got rid of her frustrating/unfair mechanics they could actually buff her, making her more rewarding to play and more fun to play against (relatively speaking)

Do me a favor and check her ban rate in iron-gold elos.

Who could have expected that designers in Season 9 could do this bad, just because they did so bad in Season 8? Unbelievable.

i actually love yuumi, i think she adds a great dynamic to the bottom lane.

"Insert extremely weak argument about her winrate, when no one actually cares."

Rαy9/13/2019, 12:47:11 AM3 votes

I just got her last level 7 token, only to read she will be utterly useless next patch. I was glad she is still playable after her last nerf, but this will completely gut her.

Another champ becoming a sad meme due to pro play I guess. Really frustrating.

I would argue this is exactly what she was designed for.

can´t wait for them to nerf her out of existence. She exemplifies everything that´s wrong with the enchanter class and it amazes me how instead of learning from their past mistakes Riot decided to double down on the low effort-low interactivity-hight impact-design with yuumi.

Sadly she's not an enchanter like i hoped. i main enchanters but she's just a parasyte disguised as an enchanter...and with this nerfs she will be a 100% afk healer since her q is a joke and wont probably be upgraded first anymore.

another new champ that belongs in a broken-toxic or useless scenario. What a surprise.

Not to sound rude, but... what did you expect?

This has been the normal roll out for every champion and rework for about three seasons.

Champion gets released/reworked ----> optional hotfix ----> Champion is too strong or breaks some fundamental part of the game ----> champion eats several nerfs ----> Nerfs don't fix the issue, proceed to change entire parts of their kit removing bits or changing range values.

Then ad infinitum for about a year or more until that champ stops being OP and everyone forgets about them and they fall off the radar for not being a champion currently causing trouble. Then wait longer until they decide OK it's time to rework that champion again.

Think I'm making it up? Look at Azir, look at Akali, or Aatrox, or Kench, or even Ekko (went through that tank Ekko phase then they removed his slow and after he was released too strong then ate a bunch of nerfs). Been pretty much the same routine for a few years up to this last champion release.

I enjoyed playing her but if they are going to nerf a 43% WR champion instead of reworking it than yea better off just removing her at this point.

Oh yes because people specifically ONLY in pro play hate playing against a champion you literally can't kill in a teamfight until she is the last champion alive that heals/speeds up allies, slows and damages you, and roots you. Its not like people in soloQ hate that too? Like many have said, she was destined to be nerfed hard because she has no counterplay. For literally any other champion/support, if you want to focus them first then you can. For example, make a plan to kill the Soraka who heals her whole team first, but you can't do that to a Yuumi because shes invulnerable until she is the last alive. GOOD LUCK catching her within .5 seconds of her switching champions at any moment.

She was a mistake, and Riot knows it. They either have to nerf her numbers a lot/change her kit drastically, or watch her continue to be highly banned across the board and have everyone in pro play/soloQ hate facing her.
