So the Yuumi nerf...

I know a lot of people were saying this was RIP Yuumi, but after playing her I think it was a whiff by the balance team.

During the laning phase the slow isn't really big, because you're just looking to poke the bad guys. It's not like the slow will trigger an all in like a morg binding. After laning phase the q slow doesn't feel like a huge part of the kit. It can sometimes let you escape or catch up to someone who is running, but it really doesn't feel much different in practice.

If they want to do a change that will impact her don't give her a point in w to start. It would make a huge difference in the early lane if she doesn't have controlable q's at level 1, and doesn't have sustain at level 2. (this is assuming q>w>e skill order level 1-3).

Taking the point out of W is just going to give everyone a truly AFK Yuumi until lvl 2.

The nerf was targetted at LCS obviously but she is still performing poorly in Soloq atm. If they care about soloq balance ou would of saw her buffed/reworked instead of nerfed.

^ no one in soloq even uses the full kit so her soloq win rate is unfixable on account of her players being skill gapped. just once I want to see a yuumi dismount to get the shield off then remount. but oh well, requires skill innit
