Those Yuumi changes were utterly stupid

The .25 second delay on the W jump feels awful

Honestly the real culprit is the one who designed Yuumi's kit. How can you be a game developer with this shallow of ideas?

Surprised Pikachu Face....

OK, after the patch came on, it is clear that RIOT doesn't want Yuumi to be a poke heavy champion. However, her poking ability was what prevented so many all-ins before, if u were able to poke the enemy they would think twice before going all in. However, now that your poke is so unforgiving (increased mana cost, decreased missile duration) and your heal is less versatile ( increased mana cost, no charges, no increased healing from missing health) you are left more vulnerable to all-ins. They also nerfed her ability to poke easily with auto-attacks and escape into safety with W spell.

Yuumi is just a complete mess right now. RIOT has to change the way that the champion works. Either continue on the route to make her a leech that drastically buffs one champion OR make her more like other enchanters that can help the whole team.

Solutions?

Q - they don't want it to poke as hard? that's fine, give it more utility, or a hard CC. it would be great for stopping aggression or chasing enemies.

W - Either continue on the leech path with more buffs for the host; or make it a utility spell to make Yuumi an enchanter.

E - Mana Cost is too much for topping off any poke the ADC receives. It also is less useful as a "saving" heal without its charges, its previous movement speed buff, and missing health restoration. If they want this spell for healing poke damage, it should keep the charges and low cost. If they want this spell as a "saving" spell they should keep its high cost and give it more utility like: "grant armor buff for 5 sec"

R - This spell is very situational. You require very specific positioning to make it work, and if the team fight changes direction you are left channeling on an empty path. Either make it one wave that catches enemies easier, or allow Yuumi to change the aiming direction while channeling to allow her to adapt to a fluid team fight.

I've honestly had a decent amount of success with just unbinding my q button until level 12. At this point it barely slows at all, does insignificant amounts of damage, and causes you to have even more mana issues if you use it. The only uses I really missed were proccing my support item in lane and checking bushes and the former isn't as important as it might otherwise be because your support item's gold income is going to turn off once it's collected enough gold anyway.

Nobody even wants to see her on any team. Boring to play with and boring to play against and also boring asf to play... Garbage champ design imo.

? How?

Patch 9.24 comes in and Riot has implemented a lot of changes on Yuumi.

Her mana costs have increased a lot, but i guess they compensated with the passive restoring mana.

But at the same time they nerfed the W ability to make it harder to attach to an ally. This patch has created a lot of more openings for opponents to abuse Yuumi who will have to be detached more often.

The Healing changes make it harder to top off your teammate who might get poked without Yuumi running OOM.

It still feels underwhelming to play the champion, now there is even less margin for error because you can't escape as easily and any wasted spells hurt your mana pool. Moreover, Yuumi continues to struggle against any type of aggressive bot lane, she does not offer enough to stop an aggressive all-in in her kit. No hard CC on her Kit, and now her heal and W are less versatile than before.

They should of put a buff/proc on the Q instead of just AS on the heal. at least then her Q would have a point in casting.

I've said this before but playing Yummi in league for league is stupid. Yummi was made to promote tft so you can play tft and league at the same time.
