I think a massive # of players do her wrong. You and I are in agreement that she has strong potential.
I still strongly disagree with how your representing her W as making her a forgiving champion. 700 range dash exclusively to allied champions? Any one whos played a decent # of games as champions like
Has experienced exactly what its like to die because idiot teammates wont provide you with the ability to target them at 700 ish range. The untargitability is meaningless if you cant get it off, or if you end up repositioning to a bad location because you only had that as your option. Her Q wont be adequate peel when some ones directly ontop of her and plenty of champions stand to get a high amount of damage.
In lane your ADC may or may not position well strongly impacting how helpful W is ever going to be. Attatched is not a solution to shit positioning, its not as reliable as ondemand mobility in any direction of your chosing, and it does not make for solid disengage. Shes only as safe as her teammates positioning /if she has R. She is at risk when trying to control vision, your at pretty high risk pretty frequently due to innate low stats.
People will downplay this, blame teammates rather then own up for their own Skill usage. The number of high risk or suboptimal W targets resulting into your death as the cat is always going to be on you.. You chose to W to some one or you positioned badly to a point you had to W to a bad target.
Constantly being attached is going to be weak.
In team fights, the ability is very solid. You can dash around and evade being at risk pretty well. In a massive # of realistic situations your not going to get any forgiveness from the game or enemy team. Certainly not from a teammate who makes a bad call and might randomly flash INTO them rather then Away like you might have hoped.
Zed goes in? Id rather be
then Yuumi with no allies around, I think its even worse if you only have badly positioned allies then getting caught solo as worst case that results in 2 deaths Vs 1 death.
Yea its great to have a tank to hide behind... but not if that tank is at 100 or so health and pulls you deeper into their team. if your under pressure then Your screwed if you do or do not cast W. You also have no insurance to even get a durable target to evade to.. or any target at all.
That's not forgiving. ITs easy to use. Its got a low floor. W point and click. R huge aoe. Q follows the mouse. E click once. All very easy... doing it correctly or with impact is not. I think doing it well is a challenge, just going by how awful most players are doing on her currently... despite her having a honestly solid kit.
I don't expect her to get cred on boards for being a cool or viable option. Players will do bad, build wrong, blame RIOT or blame teamamtes. They will not own their misplays or understand them.
I play a lot of mobas. I did dota in wc3 Rocked some IO. I play Nox in smite, Abby in HOTS, Pestilus in Battlerite. Attachment mechanics, even ones like Nox and Pestilus with their Untargettable effects do not compensate for bad positioning or decision making. You get punished not forgiven on pretty much every bad usage.
So again.. Its fine if we don't agree. You will be unlikely to convince me that this champions the most forgiving support in the game. I have never seen the mechanic/similar do this for any champion before and I don't see it showing up now.
Yet, if you want to make a claim that when mastered she might be the most forgiving support champion... Well that's a significantly different claim. I still don't agree but I can see why you would make it, assuming absolute top end usage of W, her best cases. Then hella strong.
But best case is not a realistic expectation for almost all the players in the game and I think it gets compounded to be even worse when it relys on some one giving you the opportunity rather then creating your own.
For me "forgiving" implies low skill floor + low ceiling And its off the entire kit not just a single mechanic in it.
Hopefully I have done a better job this time of conveying my viewpoint. I don't mind if you decided we need to agree to disagree.
I also don't understand why folks skip this item in her builds so frequently.
