Yuumi changes for 12.23 are aimed at reducing her Pro Play power (lane vulnerability & CC). We want to balance Yuumi around regular play and not Pro.

These changes aren't intended to reduce Yuumi's frustration, though we think it's a problem and work has already started there.

We'll share more on our direction in a QGT coming out next week; frustration based changes are challenging and take more time to land.

We think Yuumi has a valuable place in the game to onboard your new friends and help them learn spell usage & nuances of positioning.

Her untargetable state is key for new players, but Pros hyper-optimize going in and out to reduce counterplay for opponents, while regular players can't.

As a result, we don't think having Yuumi spending more time unattached (or kicked off) is going to give the desired outcome.

Instead, we're looking at ways to increase counterplay while attached, have her power tied more to her own personal success, more incentives to not abandon her lane partner and look at her scaling profile.

More details coming in the QGT later.
