Yuumi gets too much free damage from runes

Unlike other champions health is irrelevant to Yuumi. Which means she gets game breaking value from both of these runes: Absolute Focus (AP, based on level, when above 70% health) Cut Down (5% to 15% more dmg based on how much more max health opponent has)

This makes her one of the most powerful in-lane poke champions I've ever seen because:

  • in conjuction with hyper aggro runes she produces lane exiting damage even against sustain
  • her poke is not dependent on any kind of skillshot or combo
  • she has zero windows of weakness when being aggressive

I don't care about the idea of yuumi but these runes need to be nerfed exclusively because of her, otherwise her base damages need to be adjusted to account for this build.

Her poke is literally only a skillshot. It's just a weird one that can be hard to dodge.

  • in conjuction with hyper aggro runes she produces lane exiting damage even against sustain
  • she has zero windows of weakness when being aggressive

Her poke is really good, but she's also really bad against aggressive lanes. If you have an engage tank or good CC mage that can lock down the enemy ADC and kill them, Yuumi pops out and it's an easy 2-for-1.

Honestly I think Yuumi is quite balanced in lane. If there's a point where she's overpowered, it's when she ditches the ADC, hops on a fat bruiser, and makes them super fast and inescapable in mid to lategame.
