Unpopular Opinion: Yuumi needs some balance changes.

I've had the pleasure of being on the side of a Yuumi and on the receiving end and let me tell you. Yuumi IS FUCKING OPPRESSIVE. Laning is a chore because you can't stop her from landing the free poke on you. Her Q slow sets up practically everything for your ADC and auto wins any trade. Mid to Late Game her ultimate does so much that it practically wins any fight so long as her team focuses the rooted targets.

It's ridiculously overloaded and overpowered. Especially with ADC being a strong role at present. I'm not saying gut Yuumi but a few changes I would recommend are the following:

  1. Increase the Q cooldown, Q mana cost, or both in equal proportions.

  2. Remove the Adaptive Force Sharing on her W. I don't mind that it lets her latch onto a champion, shield them, heal them, whatever - we already have that with Taric's W and it's relatively healthy. But giving her AD free stats like that plus all the items she's building? It's like 2 v 1'ing a raid boss. It's not fair at any stage of the game.

  3. Reduce the damage on her R. It has a root if it hits 3 times and the hitbox is huge. She can get the 3 hits. Reduce the damage per 2nd+ hit to 25%. She doesn't need the damage.

  4. Make her Heal a one charge deal, but make it a little stronger to compensate.

This would balance Yuumi for both scenes.

People are way too concerned with solely the laning phase in a game that has more elements than just laning phase.

The best way to avoid her poke is to run out of range. I agree that she can be a bitch and a half to deal with, though. In my opinion, she should not be able to avoid aoe damage that damages the person to whom she is attached.

I've been able to go toe-to-toe with Yuumis as Karma support, but Karma is also oppressive.

all in her with Leona at lvl 2, the ADC cannot take that much CC that early and will pop or has to burn summoner 4 or summoner 7 the moment that the ADC dies Yuumi might as well be dead as well due to her low HP pool.

if you successfully all-in at lvl 2 you get the advantage in EXP/CS over the opponent's ADC/support pair. from there continue to bully / all in him while watching our for ganks. build a strong lead on this and viola! you win.

once Leona and her ADC get ahead enough they can just repeatedly all in Yuumi due to her tankiness and CC-lockdown.

the danger in this strategy is missing your opportunity or failing to escape from a gank, if leona cannot tank enough damage she cannot all-in for the kill and will be rendered useless.

That's all
