wtf is this yuumi?

After playing a couple hundred dozen ranked to get my disgusting alts back to the hardstuck plat level I noticed every single game this tiny housecat is banned. So I went into some norms with a friend to destress from the 48 hour ranked grind only to be met by. dear I say. The single most broken character ever made.

Now I don't mean broken as in SUPER OPPLZ NERF RITO MORDEKAISER. No literally broken, like she breaks the fucking game.

Her abilities from what I gather are pretty simple. Passive - parasite, attach to some host.

Q - some weirdass skillshot that scales super high, it's fine.

W - Ridiculously overscaled heal. Remember season 2 sona, it's like that on crack.

E - YOUGOTTHEAIDS. Speedboost or something.

R - Crescendo. Literally sonas ult but better.

In fact her entire kit is sonas kit..but better. Now it's objectively different but they're almost a fucking identicle idea. Q poke, W big heal, E speed boost, R is the exact same ability idc what you say.

Only the problem with sona was she's squishy as fuck. Her counterplay? Just fucking hit her she'll die in 2 seconds. So riot completely removed the ability to target yuumi. Yup the only thing stopping her from pulling off 100k healing on the charts is her mana pool. Now sure if you have a 20/0 diana you can kill her host in less than a milisecond. And then she'll just jump halfway across lane into the tank and speed boost him out the atmosphere.

The only downside to yuumi is you have no control over winning at all. Hell you cant really do anything aside from make one person an immortal god. Which makes me the most boring motherfucker in the game. Seriously soraka is more fun. Yuumi doesnt have to worry about positioning. gold, objectives, her flash cd since she'll never take it. Hell she doesn't even need boots since she doesnt move. Not to mention mejai's assist stacking on a champ that almost never dies. Unless your host just wants to dive fountain.

tl;dr make yuumi take 10-20% of the damage her host takes and boom balanced. Alternatively nasus and pugkogmaw shoulddo 500% more damage to yuumi and her host.

I think some of this is overstated. Her heal isn't all that excessive considering that she can only target the champion she's currently hooked to. It's not like Soraka who can theoretically heal the crap out of her whole team in a teamfight; Yuumi would have to actively jump from champion to champion to do that. (Also, the speed boost is tied to the heal. W just jumps her to a new champion or detaches.)

Her ult... A lot of people say this, but I don't think it's that way. With Yuumi, you get a chance to avoid it. Even if you get caught, you can still act. Heals and autos and such. Sona literally disables you for a few seconds outright, with one skillshot.

As far as Yuumi not being targeted, Sona can get out of trouble with her E. If Yuumi loses her anchor and no other allies are around, she's a goner. Her speed boost is too brief to be a reliable escape mechanism in most cases. That said, I agree that it's a bit much. My fix would be simple: If the champion she's anchored to takes x amount of damage while she's anchored (say, 15-20% of their max health?) Yuumi detaches and her W goes on cooldown for 10 seconds.

I don't actually know how to play against her in lane. We just ban her every single game.

Her passive is a shield she gets once she hits an enemy champion which stays with her when she attaches to a champion, providing this shield to her host.

Her Q is the mouse controlled missile. Her W is the attaching. Her E is the heal and speed boost. Her R is the root edition of Sona's ult

Now then, to play against her, you just need to stay close to minions and she can't hit you. It is another thing that her ADC can. You can use this against them, for example. Do not forget that, there is only one real enemy, the ADC. Yuumi is not a serious opponent once her host died.

As Yuumi becomes completely useless without a host, sitting on a host is a core element which cannot be changed. Even if she cannot be killed in a team-fight, except killing her last, the only thing she can do is healing and using her Q once in every 6 seconds. It has a reason why she must sit on someone, her W, which makes her share adaptive force in between her and their host.

She is like -as even you mentioned- a living buff for one champion. Changing that would be a full rework, similar to morde's. Yet, she is not about to be reworked, I think.

Yuumi OTP since release date
