As an adc, yuumi is the support i like to duo with the least. I feel like i'm 1v2 in lane And after 6 minutes she always goes on our fed top laner and i never see her again
*A Yuumi being picked with an immobile adc and an unknown enemy support* Every Blitzcrank player in a hundred mile radius: "Your bravery is commendable and your stupidity is PALPABLE!"
havent played this game for like 7 months. is tell fun? I like Rakan so a tanky super mobile support that bullies one guy in specific feels like should fit well with my super mobile support that bullies everyone a little bit
Yuumi is a symbiote, not a parasite. As it is beneficial to the character she is mounted to, their relationship isn't parasitical, but rather symbiotic. Best regards, The Nerds
Yuuni is a special part of parasite. Usually, a parasite would harm the host for personal gains. In yuumi is case, yuumi harms 8 other beimgs for the personal gains of the 9th Best regards, The gamer
@@linminsu3443 Not everything is a reference to something new/popular. The term literally translates to "let do." It's used as an adjective for a system in which a hands-off approach is taken, i.e. one with minimal regulations/restrictions. It is often used in an economic context, e.g. "Overregulation invariably hinders success. Economies only yield the quality of life that they should when governments take a lassez-faire approach."
One of Yuumi's big downsides is that if you play with friends, and try to play another support after playing Yuumi, your friends are basically going to act like crack addicts on withdrawal and beg you to play Yuumi again.
Can confirm friend is yuumi main im sett main. We perma played together till level 55 and if I dont play with them now I engage into stupid shit and realise: "Shit my steroid cat isnt on me" and I die
When i ask if i should go with Yuumi my friend says that Lulu is better, even tho he doen't know shit about any of them, but he keeps saying that he knows more than me even if he never even played any of them nor any support in the game and that pisses me off so much, Yuumi mid/late game is not even near Lulu, the only thing that Lulu does better than Yuumi in late game is stoping the most fed enemy to kill the ADC or something (For 2 seconds) and Yuumi can do the same thing but takes more time
funny cuz I actively remind my friends to NOT STICK TO ME at all costs when one of them picks Yuumi. if I feel disgusted with a champ, i don't care who plays it. just don't put that thing within 300 units around me.
Yuumi is one of those champs that can't do a goddamn thing when the team is losing, but will turn that one player into Thanos. She also always sucks when om your team but always does everything right when she's on the other team
@@lilyliao9521 well, not exactly, more like yuumi will benefit extra hard from a fed carry to support, and the team going against that duo will remember the pain like a war flashback. whereas an ok/base yuumi will just be her ult in a pinch, pretty forgetable.
Imo playing Yuumi was the best introduction to the game I could've had I started playing with some friends who are much, much better than me and my first attempts to play bot lane had me staring at a gray screen for 50% of the game wondering who that person was that showed up out of nowhere and deleted me without even trying. Then I picked up Yuumi and I slowly started to learn what all 150+ champions in the game did in a meaningful way by following the action instead of seeing 2 seconds of flashy colors and dying, and I got to learn a little bit about how my friends' roles and playstyles worked by following them around and asking questions. And even though I wasn't pulling off any flashy combos, I was contributing to the game in a meaningful way for the first time, and that felt good
If Yuumi gets you addicted to league and as a result we get less great videos about niche historic events, then that will be by far the worst thing about the champion.
Gotta say, no matter how much I despise Yuumi, I could never hate their players because you guys did nothing wrong. And also, I'm happy for your experience fam even if it was through Yuumi
@@davidptacek5287 Oh it's too late for that, how do you think a danger ping ended up being used as a sound effect in the Dmitri Ivanovich video 😆 Video schedule hasn't been affected though, so all's well that ends well
I would disagree because you can learn all that just by watching videos of games, which is essentially what you do as Yuumi, just sit back and watch the game.
"Making it nearly impossible to miss." And yet 90% of the time I use her Q, the person I'm acting as their stand for runs in the opposite direction to ensure that I miss.
That’s why I only play Yuumi in bots tbh She’s wayyy too dependent on the person she sits on and have little control over their movements. I’m usually very chill but when playing Yuumi and my carry moves in a way I don’t like, it will start to feel very frustrating. After 3 or 4 PvP Yuumi games I just stopped to avoid exploding at my team one day lol
wow, 5 replies and every single one was basically flaming you for just playing a champion. not surprising considering that this is a yuumi rant video but still. Also yes, the "basically unmissable Q and R" take into account actually having teamates who want to... well... team up. Surprisingly hard to find those in league... Also also, just to take the flame away from this poor soul, I'll act as a magnet for everyone wanting to flame them again by saying: I'm a yuumi otp. Try roasting me after I 1v1 you.
It feels like a toxic love hate a relationship with playing when you play yuumi because they're either gonna love you for being yuumi or hate you for being yuumi
Don’t be delusional even your teammates hate you because next game you will be a leech on the enemy team. They are just benefiting from your no brain champ at that moment.
@@trinityreaper009 not only them but Riot themselves did a post (i think its called "Please delete Yuumi Riot!) where they showed that you actually need 100 games to get good at her. Which would mean that Yuumi statistically is just as hard to master as Akali. Which is true to some extent (laning with her is hell due to mana cost and well you need to learn what ccs you so you can safely get down/switch) but once you scale all the dificulty leaves.
@@trinityreaper009 nope, saw that vid too back in the day. It was a difficulty tier list of all the champs by role. I think Yuumi got on the second highest tier in the support class (out of four: easy, medium, hard and very hard). Also that very same video classified Neeko as a toplaner but not a midlaner.
I really like Yuumi, mostly because I can officially tell my ADC, "No, my positioning wasn't the issue here, you just let Vayne condemn you into the wall after dashing in."
@@bradybugden3655 i m sry, but let me introduce you to the bane of every slightly off meta support player: "you shouldve picked a better support, ff15"
Really? Because over half of it was a raid shadow legends advertisement. It’s painful how many content creators accept the offer. Has anyone played the game? It’s not even a game.
As a person with a damaged hand I enjoy her because with the reduced about how clicking needed I can still play with my friends without hurting to much. I see why people dislike her but she is pretty fun for me.
If your damaged hand is the keyboard one you could try vayne. Very little abilities to use, its just that your mouse hand needs to work overtime bc kiting with high attack speed is hard
Cons: ADC’S are crybaby’s who don’t know how to lane with one, enemy jungler will champ the shit out of you, she’s a very weak early Laner. And any cc practically makes her unplayable and she isn’t good until 2-3 items in
the biggest pro about playing yuumi is that your hands are free so you can reply to the salty all chat messages, well that and you're a cute kitty cat- which is hard to beat
Thebdifference is, Cassio has to press E like 100 times per second, needs to dodge skill shots and also has to hit Q before the E spam... Yuumi presses E and goes AFK until the Abilitiy is back up
Kyler riot lowkey broke her legs with the mana cost change on her E, she's forced to build mana regen early and even then she absolutely will be starved after a teamfight
@@alineSann yup. You cant even tell how much it costs at any given time because it won't tell you unless you want to do math. Building 4 fairy charms works pretty well but absolutely nothing that gives max mana.
Nobody ever likes to talk about how she's basically Abathur's parasite from Heroes of the Storm, but at least Abathur is so much more unique and difficult to play as a character
@@potatocripp Its a little like Cho'Gall but Yuumi isn't DPS like Gall is, or stuck to one character. The point is Abathur is an enchanter with counterplay and way more engagement from the player, Yuumi is basically just one of his abilities
Yuumi: the champion that can be played one handed that somehow thinks they're carrying the game and makes sure to type at you all game because she can since she has a free hand
@@Zerhapy Clarification: As a highly skilled individual player, the ability to simultaneously buff your own champ with minimal effort whilst also removing a variable (A less skilled support player) from your lane whilst also smurfing in lower elos in a climbing challenge all stacks together in a way that a highly skilled ADC player may find advantageous rather than disadvantageous. So, the example of the Draven player demonstrates that if you are highly skilled and you don't potentially have someone less skilled shackled to you while not losing too much of the value of having a second player, then it is viable to climb in a traditionally duo lane solo. In other words, the example demonstrated that the player in question is very skilled, but doesn't actually tell much about yuumi except for the fact that she has an incredibly lax skill floor. After rereading my original post it does sound like I was trying to make some sort of insult toward you being a bad support player or something, that was unintentional and a poor choice of words on my part.
@@Zerhapy Quite so- Yuumi's skill floor is laughably low, and I think if anything her biggest issue is that she can get more out of less effort than any other champion. I don't think her base kit thesis is unhealthy or bad though- although everyone loves to make fun of it Riot did make some reasonable points in their video about Yuumi's skill ceiling. The issue is less that there is no skill available in playing her, it's that there's no skill required in playing her- although she allows for high skill expression you only get 10% more out of the champ as opposed to the 90% you get by merely existing. Even Garen requires more effort to get a sizable chunk of use out of him. Personally I've always thought she needs better incentives for hopping off, since what she does while hopped off and how much time she spends off is usually what decides the (as of now largely meaningless) skill difference right now. Give her a courage mechanic like Kled, maybe- she generates courage while playing actively apart and depletes it while attached, perhaps? Give her that and a bit more survivability and then yuumi players would have to actually think about when to hop on and off for maximum value whilst also being forced to interact in lane, which also solves the primary issues when fighting against her. Like you said, no other support in the game has access to 90% of their champ's possible usefulness with nothing but a confounded pedal
The typing is called "tactical distractions" its very good to make the enemies rage at you to let the adc clean them up, i have done this tactic on naut aswell, makes for very easy q's Its a tactic! Not something to do while i afk! Okay!
I fecking love Yuumi, and here are my numeruous reasons why: 1. I love her as an enemy because we only have 1 target to hit on botlane. We might have to be a bit more careful but if we can kill that one target the cat is dead as well mostly. 2. The little games I played as Yuumi, when it was high octane stuff, I loved jumping around in a teamfight around 10-20 times to make sure everyone is healed. 3. Hooking or otherwise pulling a Yuumi mid transfer is not only satisfying but also incredibly hilarious. 4. Hitting it feels good. 5. Nothing tops my friends Yuumi jungle. I call it mini-Rengar (and it surprisingly can work as its basicly a support on all lanes) 6. Aurelion Sol + Yuumi bot is not the weirdest combo I've been a part of but it was highly entertaining. 7. Having an enemy Yuumi means not having to deal with, the following bullshitery on bot: Lux, Morgana, Brand, Blitz, Pyke, Naut, Swain, Lulu, Xerath, Cho'gath, Galio, Leona, Nami, etc. 8. Dodging a Yuumi (bar her ult) is not hard and she can be easily punished if she tries to autoattack you (which she won't mostly). 9. Yuumi's heal consumes 15% of her max mana meaning she can only heal ~6 times before going down the drain. After that she either goes home or stays and have way less healing potential meaning she is a nice blue floating piece of furniture most of the time. 10. Having a good Yuumi on your team is good. 11. Having a bad Yuumi on the enemy's team is good. 12. Having a good Yuumi on the enemy's team still is not that big of a threat with a little teamplay. Idunno I think the hate for her is too big. I mean sure her being untargetable is whatever but at least Riot tries new things from time to time, some stick more with people, some doesn't, but honestly I have around 0 problem with her playstyle. Also she is cutely psychopathic for a fuzzy cat. Another thing is I think people whine too much over her. She is not demanding to play in the slightest but Yuumi can impact the game more than the other supports. Having a good Yuumi is very scary because the enemy will be usually fully healed, good ult placements can destroy your team, etc. But having a bad Yuumi is basically 4v5. Even with a very bad support there is the chance that they hit some cc or heal, or at leat can be used as a living ward or a target dummy. With Yuumi you are literally very restricted in your own movement so deciding when to do what while where you are spatially is not up to you can be quite tricky for some players. (At least the level which I come from, which admittedly is not high, some people I think have problem using the mouse)
One game too much the learn everything wrong with this .. champion? tbf their is no good design choice when looking at her from a competitive pvp game.
@@WatchSchoolDays one game too little the learn everything wrong with this no-longer-champion. they practically removed her from the game a few months ago due to community toxicity when she was barely holding onto a 50% winrate. it took me several games before i realized just how broken she was after the changes and i stopped playing because when the toxicity gets to even the devs you know a game isn't healthy, for anyone.
When it comes to supporting a lot of it comes down to figuring out who to support and muting the 0/9 vayne that wants to 2v4 with ya constantly and going mid to the 6/0 yas to get him more fed.
6:18 Yuumi is less of a parasite and more of a symbiote. She's like those little birds that sit in crocodiles' mouths, feeding of what's stuck between the bigger animal's teeth. The bird gets a meal, and the croc has lower chances of oral infection. Yuumi feeds off of the success of her hyper-carry, and they have a lower chance of death in any particular fight.
I mostly play Yuumi because it is the only support that shows your adc "your mistakes are YOUR mistakes not mine". As a person who plays mostly supp it is a nice thing to do from time to time. And yes - making someone feel indestructible just because you are with them is a great feeling C:
The joy of queueing with a top laner as Yuumi is just delightful. You’re just waiting for late game so that you can attach to your friend and turn them into a true monster. Aatrox is an amazing pairing for her
Man what do u mean ur mistakes are not mine? Bot lane is a 2v2 lane if u make it for ur adc 1v2 in early game how is it their fault? U litterally forcing them to play safe and the enemy can use their skillshots only on ur adc because u are untargetable
I'm a yuumi main and I pretty much agree with everything you say, but also sometimes I just wanna chill while playing league and nothing is more chill than just riding another player, pressing E, and occasionally plinking an enemy with a slow
i play with friends that carry me, so yuumi was a perfect match. my biggest flex was that time alone dived and one-shoted a caitlyn, yes. with yuumi, alone.
i have to say that Yuumi changed my way to play league, i've never enjoyed more League than when i'm playing Yuumi with a buddy, it's super fun and rewarding because i always get underestimated and i always surprise my enemies and my teammates because let's be serious, Yuumi always get underestimated
"Lemme just press this one button aaaaaaaaand gone." "What?" "All your kill preasure and positive trading, gone." "But how?!" "It's how it is around these parts kid."
How to play Yuumi 4 in easy steps: 1-Pick Yuumi 2-Detect your ADC 3-Press W and build a relationship with them 4-Congrats, now even if you die, the ADC already fell in love with you and will never be toxic with you once -Sincerely, your local Yuumi main
Exactly my thoughts. Doesnt matter if she gets absolutly obliterated in lane if at least one carry has a brain and she afks on his head with a bot frequently pressing E.
Only if her heal was flat and not based on missing heath. If I'm not wrong. Taric is the only support that have flat heals. So he is the only fair heal support in this game.
@@0JasonSunleaf0 yuumi’ shell doesn’t scale with missing health, it scales with AP. I think it’s actually a pretty fair heal, given the fact that it takes 15% of her mana ADDED TO the flat cost per level, and only heals a single target... unlike tarics which ??? are you saying tarics heal is the least OP out of all healing supps??? because I-- I don’t know man, I-- I mean... I.... bro
@@louisekoenig3465 YES. Sure taric heal it have a small aoe that can be shared with the link target and anyone near, but you normally built taric tank, yes heal scale with his ap and %bonus health. Ok i checked that yummi heal is not missing health scale fine, but the issue still stands that she is untargetable and her ap scale give more value than taric's ap/health scale. Also to properly get good heals from taric, you need to max q first to get more stacks and you need to proc your passive more often to get the value. So yeah taric is not necessarily less op, because it can be strong if you play in a decent team with everyone. With yuumi you need only one carry. A smart yuumi will forget anyone and stick only to the carry and no one else. People think one targeted heals are weak, which in reality give to an yasuo constant heals and it is gg not even anti heals can counter that. So short yes Taric is the least op healer in the entire game that's why you don't see him often and sadly he is more stronger than you want to believe
Also if you build a lot of mana regen that 15% doesn't matter. Now I think that soraka have missing health based, but she has to give 10% of her health so this is balance an ability that is strong, but with a consequens.
I always felt like people didn't grasp what yuumi is supposed to bring to Lol. I am of the idea that yuumi is a wonderfully designed champ, the thing is, she is not designed to do what most Champions do. Whenever game devs do something they ALWAYS keep in mind player employment of the product, that being said yuumi is a wierd case study. As you said in your video, yuumi players don't have to be mechanically skilled, they stick to the carry, they give enjoyment not to themselves but to the carry they stick themselves onto. All of these factors make me think that yuumi is not designed for Lol players but for Lol players significant others that want to partake into their lover's hobby. Think about it, yuumi is literally built to stick to someone. Her kit takes away many of the 'core gaming skills' that any player grasps like aiming or positioning. I am not sure Riot has every confirmed this outright but I always saw yuumi as the perfect 'girlfriend champion'. It is not a coincidence that Riot has implied that botlane is the lane where lovers go to play together (as evidence i can point out to rakan/xayah, lucian/senna). Now, I'm not here to talk about the cultural implications of the girlfriend champ being the 'easy braindead support'. Girls can definitely kick ass if they so desire. TL;DR: yuumi isn't made for Lol players, she is made for people who want to share Lol's players past time without necessarily dedicating themselves to Lol or gaming in general.
Holy shit. I never even thought about it that way but her design makes so much more sense. Especially in unranked where you'll get those toxic couples and the girl is almost always playing Yuumi.
I'm a Yuumi main, so I really do get how she can be infuriating. I mean, that's why I play her lol I think the only solution would be to give her a mini-rework. Like, give her more tools when detached and less when attached. Untargetability is too strong, so make her have reasons to not rely on it all the time.
I just hit Mastery 7 with Yuumi and love playing her, and I agree. Any form of CC delays your W and that's a good balance, and a good yuumi can hop back and forth and keep 80% of the team alive on team fights, but there should definitely be more options and incentive to not be the E spam bot while waiting for the opportune R.
I actually designed a Yuumi-like tank years ago. It was a literal parasite from the void who attached to an ally and was a tank, giving the target defensive buffs and his abilities revolved around applying debuffs that allies could trigger into CC. He could also attach to enemies in order to use his ultimate to mind control them. However, he would take damage that his allies take as a counterbalance mechanic.
I was so sad when Yuumu came out. I like playing the safe healer type a lot and when reading her kit, I was super psyched because I pictured her as this extremely agile healer meant to bounce between the frontline, keeping them alive and CCing the enemy team. Instead all we got was "AFK on your ADC or jungler and insta gib people".
I love yuumi. I started playing last May, she was the champion that let me learn basics of league and feel like I was still helpful to my team instead of stressing bcuz im perma dying. She can be so impactful and its fun to bully enemy laners with the threat of bops! Buff the kitty!
My friend likes her because she's very good at helping her team, and they love that they're always useful to the team and is basically the funnel champ
Ok but I’ve seen yummi top at least several times, and she was great on her own. Like yea she’s supposed to be a support BUT I was really surprised that she was actually good as a top laner (if you know how to play her well ofc)
I don't see any appeal in this champion. I love cats. But yuumi is so damn brain-dead and breaks the game. Every time I play sup (sup main btw) and the enemy picks yuumi, the game is already lost, no matter how well I do. She just picks a fed enemy and makes them unkillable. How often did we stomp the enemy bot but the enemy fiora was fed and 1 Vs 9?! I forgot to count.
@@Fingolfin7455 yes as a Swain main(new btw sorry) i have to even time my passive to land my combo and this damn cat just hits a button the whole game and wins. respect to yummi main btw.
@@Fingolfin7455 I love this champ, not because she's fun to play or something, but because I hate MOBA games, I fucking suck at them, but Yuumi makes me easy to play It with my friend, who "loves" the game. Yuumi is made not for serious players but for people who want to play and have fun with their friends but that don't know how to play MOBA. If you play Yuumi it's just because you have a friend to play with, at least for me
Skooch trying to describe what champion it is "Least healthy to the game, hardest to balance, lowest skill celing, teaches nuthin to newbs and is the epithome of carry me" My brain playing "Who is that Pokemon": _"ITS TEEMO!"_ Skooch: "Its Yuumi" My brain: _"FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--!"_
