Yuumi barely feels fun to play, and it is a massive pain in the ass to lane against.
My personal problem with this champion is how stupid her whole gameplay is ATM. You just sit there, throw some q's, maybe spam e when your adc trades like a bronze III and when you're in a team fight, just press r and see the magic happen.
I've played yuumi a couple of times, and I really could of not thought of any playstyles that I could adapt her to. And the only thing that separates the low-skill from the high-skill are timed w's against catchers like Blitz or Thresh, and playing your Q's properly.
And don't come at me with "but It's awful in early", 'cause you can easily pair yuumi with a powerhouse like Garen or Tryndamere, even Lucian, to compensate for most of her weaknesses, farm till the 10th minute, then wake up you can spam your abilities by then. Sometimes even ganks can't help for how big her E boosts are.
And personally, the only issue I have with this champion is that I can't do shit about all of that. I can only just farm while staring at her spectating with her heals and occasional q's. I think that's one of the first supports you can't do shit about, and the closest offenders of this case can be rakan with his long ass dash and janna with her slowing w, but I can somewhat see the counterplay against these two in bot ( apart from when rakan gets knight's vow, by then he's basically unstoppable as long as his adc has lifesteal ). The best counterplay I can think of against yuumi is to harass the hell out of the enemy adc. But if it's a Darius for example... Tough fucking luck with that. And you also can't poke him down 'cause he can reel you in with his E/charge you with yuumi's E boosts.
Yuumi looks like an amazing design, as it is one of my favorite champ designs, but her game mechanics make me feel like I'm playing with a tamagotchi, and her weaknesses are so easy to compensate, It's like getting a math test with only a question and 2 answers.
What I would find like a great tweak to her kit would be to expose her out more often than she currently does. Give out more windows for the enemy laner to take advantage of, like reversing the Q mechanics by putting the attached Q to the detached, and vice versa. And to compensate for her fairly bad early, she should either be less costly or have less cool down on her Q and (maybe) ultimate.
This wouldn't solve all the problems she has, but it would certainly make her a more viable/mechanically intensive champion.
will most probably E + Basic + w + basic the adc as most adc's are squishy in early. after my all-ining, darius might have already killed the adc by the time I finished the burst. Yuumi's also gonna have her Q + E as her W's a free stack ( from what I can remember ). If there really is a support with a good enough level 2 all-in to take care of darius, what would it be? So far,
's a solid pick considering your indications.
all over again.
