Yuumi Top Round 2.

Yup. I mentioned earlier that I played Yuumi Top versus a Aatrox and stomped him. Well... here's round 2, and once again, Graves jungle ganking for him, while my OWN jungler didn't gank anything for 18 minutes....

Yup. She sucks at farming. But she's okay at last hitting. Yup. She generally doesn't dominate a lane.

But you know what she does do? -300+ AP by the time she's out of lane. -Tons of peel to waste other team ganks. -Invulnerable when jungler ganks. -Can easily ajoin mid without worrying about losing lane. -Can finish Support item just fine.

And yes. This is a Warmog's build. It's PBE. Sue me. You wouldn't know it but I got up to 476 AP on this build. Almost a 50% Kill participation rate even though I was Teleport-less Top on an "immobile" Enchanter who generally rides others. I could tank and peel 1v4 without riding someone.

But Oh hey. New Support items aren't powerful or anything.

anything can happen in elo that low.

you mean anything can happen in PBE where there IS NO ELO?

Ah right, PBE. Either way, no elo is probably more random than low elo

That is true. My point is, there are supports that are better at stalling out other lanes than Yuumi. I could pull the same trick with Nami, and actually do a LOT of damage to an Aatrox in top lane, maybe even pick up a kill or two, before joining a team, and still have my Support item completed.

And I could do that at a higher elo than Yuumi.

It also acts as a nonsupport steroid for champs like Morgana or Zyra...... or any regular laner who can poke that wants a warding item.

Furthermore, I'm getting to test out the Gold nerf from both farming and proccing the item, and it's NOT THAT RESTRICTIVE. In Yuumi lanes, I only got Gold from minions cut by 50% about every 20 minions I focused farmed, and the Spellthief didn't get cut but once, and never got a delay on charging up, because they removed that.

And, the delay toward getting back to full minion coin wasn't that long either. Maybe 45 sec - 1 minute of not farming.

Tbh, the only reason I'm doing this is because I can't get Senna unless I'm support on PBE, and I want to try her as a Grasp top (her passive seems like an interesting stack with a Grasp build).

I haven't lost yet.
