Two weeks after release Yuumi's win rate has climbed to 42%

This is just from people picking up her kit. I think we still need to give people more time to learn her. I see people bringing exhaust flash on her which dramatically lowers her win rate.

I personally have only lost games with Yuumi support as ADC because Yuumi afk'd or just sucked at knowing who to be on during a fight. The good Yuumis have basically made it so whatever ADC I play wrecks anyone because you always go in with a lead as long as you play around her Q and ult as well as keep in mind that you are the focus of the fight in most even fights. I just remember that Yuumi is strong and let her soften them up and play either poke or reactive until we get the opening as most hook supports fail if you just don't get hooked and a hook death = double kill with Yuumi so you just have to play that much safer. If you have an ADC that is meant to go in Yuumi is one of the best supports in the game right now in the right hands. You just have to wait until your opening comes.

She literally had a ~10% Buff to EVERY SINGLE SKILL.

Just from "people picking up her kit"

My Rear.

She was ~ 35% after a day of play. 42% is expected from 10% buffs around the board.

I want to point out that the last champion with sub 40% WR on thier FIRST WEEK was Ornn. Every other new champion/rework before yuumi had around 44% WR within a few days of release.

If you want to compare her to supports, the last support who had WRs like her was Bard and he got hard buffs that all stuck around.

But as someone already pointed out, her WR went up with those buffs not just magically on their own.

She was also hard buffed so theres that.

This is just from people picking up her kit.

I love all the people saying "I was right!!!! she was strong!!!!!!! just hard to play !!!!!!!!!111!!!!!1!", no she had massive hotfix buffs you dumbass

"SHES TOO WEAK AFTER THE HOTFIX RIOT, PLS BUFF HER" Recalling the boards crying that, and still kinda doing it. She was weak, but the hotfix definitely helped her more than people could expect.

You say this as if a 42% winrate is good...

Unpopular opinion : I think she deserve a nerf.

Eleshakai5/25/2019, 2:05:55 AM2 votes

Honestly, Yuumi SHOULD have a low solo queue winrate. Her kit is built for coordinated teams, so if her winrate is mid-low 40s in solo queue, she's probably tuned appropriately.

57% for mains and a 19% play rate are both important stats you leave out here

The thing is... she's actually powerful.. but needs intelligence to play. and most players are 10 year olds.

Just for the mobility, she is OP.

  1. free teleports with other players
  2. free roams with quinn/hec, or even a THREEWAY roam with tahm kench and another player

This is broken-level OP. but people just arent taking advantage of it. Because they are 10 years old and have no brain.

I've actually been playing her running summoner 3 /summoner 14 instead of the usual summoners.

  • The upside to taking this combo is that you can apply more pressure in skirmishes since you can Ignite & exhaust your target (you can even use your sums while attached). If the enemy carry get's too low, they're either going to burn their sums or back off to avoid giving your carry a takedown. Also you can swap out Ignite for Heal if your ADC want's to take Barrier (but more often or not, you'll be taking ignite).
  • The downside to this is that Yuumi lacks peel & has absolutely no escapes since you forgo summoner 4 . If her teammate get's dropped, then she's going to get dropped immediately afterwards unless she has another teammate to catch a ride on.

Another thing I do is rush either item 3174 or item 3222 . If the enemy team has no heavy CC (champions like Taric or Thresh ), taking Athenes allows you to take advantage of your passive. If they are packing CC, Mikaels allows you to cleanse the CC for your teammate & even gives you an addtional 10% Heal & Shield Power compared to item 3504 or item 3107 .

She's freelo with a darius/hecarim, you can /fullmute your adc after lane phase and collect a free win. Don't tell anyone until I get diamond.

I love Yummi. I do wanna wait before buffing her more tho. I dont want her getting Taliyah'd. :(

Tr4shB4NSYST3M5/25/2019, 4:33:59 AM1 votes

Yeah, yummi is fine. A yuumi thats a bit ahead attached to an adc thats ahead is quite hard to kill even if you are equally as ahead as the adc. And this is arguably well before players have fully mastered her kit and jumping from ally to ally in a teamfight to get your ult positioning perfect etc.

So yeah I'd say shes gonna end up being just fine. I think part of the massively low winrate was because of idiots trying to solo lane with her when she is literally only viable as a support.

Śhunpo5/25/2019, 8:47:58 AM1 votes

People are dumb. She's going to become a 54% win rate champ once people figure out the boosting strat combos, just wait.

ArtumisPrime5/25/2019, 9:41:47 AM1 votes

Her early game is bad, but her late game is very strong. It's a matter of surviving to that point.

Plus they hotfix buffed the shit out of her after release.

I really want to love this champion but it feels like she has no agency compared to other supports. I switched to a Nami game after playing Yuumi all week and immediately felt like I was playing a totally different game, one where I mattered. I don't think Yuumi is ever going to get above 45% without some changes- and i dont think "buffs" is really the right word for what she needs, I think she legit needs changes to her ultimate in order to have agency as a champion. Yuumi only has 1 damage skill so her Ult needs needs NEEDS to be impactful and right now it's just... well, the enemy flashes it or they just stand in it and kill you through it. The cooldown is so long that it isn't up every fight and if it's down then she's so... useless...

Like I play Neeko support and Neeko's ult is incredibly better than Yuumi's and has like half the cooldown. Neeko has to play well to get into range to use it sure but aiming Yuumi's ult is actually harder because you have to deal with moving through the fight and healing people during it because it's not a stun and the enemy is still actively murdering your team while you're ulting.

Her lane phase is probably fine but her ult needs help. Either make it a stun or extend the length of the root if you continuously land waves or just bump the damage numbers on it so that her teamfight damage isn't so poor. It's SO HARD to cast q's in a teamfight because you're almost always too close and it just pops on spawn and does crap for damage and NO slow. Yuumi should shine in teamfights but right now she only does if your team is already ahead. You don't win the game because of a clutch Yuumi anything. And that's... depressing as a support main. My skill is irrelevant if my solo lanes/jng aren't winning, and Yuumi is extremely poor at securing lane kills so you win the lane on attrition/farm but get few if any kills to bolster the team...

I'm trying to like her. I'm trying so hard. I don't play as a backpack, I use my passive constantly, I even get first bloods fairly often nowadays, but Yuumi's lane is so vulnerable to ganks it's disgusting so you just get 3-4 man dove all the time and it's so miserable I can't even justify picking it anymore. And then coming to the boards and reading "Dont buff my secret OP 40% win rate champion" is like, are you effing kidding me????!

She is sleeper OP If a good Yuumi or even half decent Yuumi is paired with a self peeling adc, they're essentially unkillable.

Shiroyashayami5/25/2019, 1:32:14 PM1 votes

You wouldn't have this winrate growth if we didn't complain about her being too weak. She got buffed thanks to that. It was something around 10% to every skill, so a little bit huge.

DoktorKaiser5/25/2019, 1:47:51 PM1 votes

The champ is utter garbage, over my accounts I played 48 games where Yuumi was involved in just one team. The team with Yuumi won 4 out of those 48 games. She is a disgustingly bad, high skill, low impact champ that functions only if your team is snowballing to the point where any other support would do the same. Even now when her poke is buffed to ridiculous levels she is still worthless most of the time. Another failed design from RIOT, I can't recall the last time they successfully designed something... Maybe the Warwick rework ? Edit - and the Nunu rework.
