LCK 13.12 presence stats.

LPL 13.12 presence stats.

Yuumi still shows up sometimes in LPL with 7.7% presence but thankfully so much lower than before.

It's so great to know that these champions are finally gone from the meta. Personally, I quite literally never want to see neither champ again in pro play. Even after like 2 years, I wouldn't be hyped if they came back in the meta.

So this is absolutely excellent news. Hopefully they stay like that until Worlds. Bless up.

Wow this rework is such a success! All they had to do was get Yuumi down to 45% soloqueue winrate and she’s finally not a pro staple (but still picked a decent amount)!

I know this is rage baiting but I’ll repeat what I said last time:

At her current state she is resting at the same win rate and 70% lower pro presence than Worlds 2022. That is a meaningful success. The rework wasn’t perfect (nothing ever is) but it absolutely bought us a lot more room.

Let me push back a bit on this point. This implies you can now buff Yuumi, which I'm not sure is true.

She already had to go to this awful winrate to not be omnipresent in pro play.

I agree that the stats are not as bad, but I don't see how the problem has meaningfully changed. Buffing Yuumi now just puts her back in pro play. The conceptual problem remains just as true as it was pre-rework.

Seems to me that without more changes to her mechanics, she will just be rotting in 45% winrate graveyard zone like so many other problem champions before her. Can you elaborate on if that fear is valid?

Last time we tried to kick Yuumi out of pro play she went to 39% win rate. At the very least, consider this a buffed state from where she was in February.

Ideally yeah I'd like a version of Yuumi that was scarce in pro, rewarding for her mains, and approachable for newer League of Legends players. It's also not the most pressing task at the moment.
