Melee basic attacks should detach Yuumi

Crispy0Snake·Sep 13, 2019·3 votes·1,070 views

If she was balanced around enemies being able to detach her from her anchor, she would be much healthier because there would be counterplay to her being so good at helping her ADC kite/chase

I also think she should be detached if her anchor is Stunned/Displaced/Charmed/Feared. I'd say her W should have a 5 second cooldown (3 with 40% CDR).

I think her Q when unattached should travel faster, always dealing empowered damage too just to encourage interaction in lane

Just some thoughts

Shes built around her gimmick of being attached. Encouraging her to be detached with that q change defeats the champs entire purpose

Her Q costs 100 mana and its garbage when unattached. She doesn't interact in lane nearly as much as a frostfang support should

The change is 100% positive. It gives Yuumi skill expression in lane while also giving Yuumi's laners a short time where she's vulnerable in lane

But.... shes vulnerable when you're beating the shit out of her ADC in lane before they both scale. Before scaling begins, Yuumi is hardly even a champion at all. Literally all you have to do is pick a lane bully if you see someone pick Yuumi. Then proceed to beat the everliving SHIT out of her ADC, and make him flame her for picking Yuumi

She would suck

her q is getting gutted and the champion has a 43% WR pre nerf. Why are we complaining about yuumi at this point when she is the worst champion in the game.

We're talking about Yuumi because of these changes. The problem is that Yuumi can play really safe and scale for free with very little lane interaction for her opponents, when she's a late game enchanter, so she's impossible to balance

If she had a weakness or there was a way to play around her, she would receive compensation buffs to be able to lane and be a reasonable champion when not attached

Yuumi should attach to buff her ADC and clutch heal them, help them kite/chase. If she fails at her job and a melee champion gets to auto her ADC, there should be some cost to that. If her ADC can't dodge skillshots with the movement speed buff, I also think that should come at a cost

Now there are some things like Katarina can just shunpo auto, Zed can WW auto, fiddle/warwick can flash fear... but if Yuumi is also an actual champion while not attached it won't be such a bad thing. She won't be attached, but she'll be able to function and do stuff, then attach to someone else or her ADC if they live

I think it's not necessary to detach her like this if she's attached to a melee champion, who will naturally go into melee range of other melee champs and try to tank some damage

That would make her beyond F-tier - are you kidding me? The nerfs she just got are fair, but what you're asking for is to completely remove the champion from play totally......a champion who isn't even S, A, or B tier for most ranks.
