What do you think that is the strategic niche of Yuumi? Why should i pick her over Sona or Janna or any other enchantress if my goal is solely to win?
Her untargetablity is one of her strategic niches, you can pick her into comps that have ways to kill Sona or Janna. She has some of the highest safety in the game.
What you’ve noticed monitoring her play so far that caused her to have such a low win rate?
I think the biggest thing is that the learning curve for playing the champion is steeper than we initially thought. There are a bunch of things you have to do differently to access Yuumi's power. You should be auto attack harassing, which is a very non-obvious thing to do for a support that has the option of being untargetable. You also need to learn when to be on characters other than the ADC, and how to drive the Q missile. She doesn't play like other enchanters; her peel is worse, but her aggressive picking potential is much better.
So I’ve seen a lot of different yuumi builds but it feels like she’s more impactful when she’s connected to a strong mid or top rather than adc. My question is, is it supposed to be like that?
Yes, somewhat. A consequence of her being untargetable is that among enchanters, she can uniquely follow a diver into the back line and support them without getting blown up. Rather than fight that interaction, we made sure that Yuumi was giving her attached partner the kind of tools a diver, fighter or tank wanted (Movespeed and chase potential being the big ones). She should still be okay when attached to a squishy marksman, but probably not as good as having a Janna right there.
EDIT: Thanks for all your questions! That's the end of our Yuumi AMA! We'll continue to bop into the thread throughout the day and answer as we can.

OH MY GOD HTANK YOU
it's so uwu
but like
where's the 4k
Ahhh! Let me ask if we have it in that resolution. We may not because it wasn't intended for that originally. I'll see what I can do!
Will they fix Warwick making me deaf soon?
A fix for this is being worked on. Though it's not certain when it will ship. (I'm not a dev, just know this is a known issue)
Beach episode and hot springs trip when?
Is it permanent? My username is literally Homosexual and I feel this really makes my day.
The icon is forever, but like my wit, the background and homeguard animation are fleeting.
Currently the background and homeguard will be in place through 9.10. But we're discussing other options for the future.
This is what Riot did with rengar:
- Nerf Rengar Q to skillshot because he kills you too fast
- Buff W because he needs to be 'tankier' because he blows you up slower
- Revert Q
- ???
You look at that and you really wonder if they actually think about what they are doing.
OFC we do! That's WHY we reverted Rengar, the champion was stronger, still frustrating, and yet was played less. Something was off. We'd be silly however to just mindlessly full revert without capturing the gains of a rework . Some things were good about his update (the W changes), some things were better from old Rengar (the Q), so we mixed and matched. It's almost like we thought about how we could get the best of both worlds.
Rengar is such terrible design lol. Champ has been a design problem since its release some years ago.
Hard disagree. Rengar is an awesome champ that a ton of players love. Also does an incredible job of delivering on the thematic of a stalking hunter. Reliable burst damage is an important part of league that keeps the triangle of burst vs. sustained vs. tank vs. burst in line, even if it's frustrating at times to get popped by a fed alpha-lion.
It's not on League Displays.
Hey hello, it's me again! It's going to be added to League Displays. :)
Finally a champion aphro can play in competitive without getting caught out of position
Please be nice to Aphromoo.
This was a bug and should have been fixed. Can you verify for me that your borders are working now?
Hi! I gave the second silver, meant to leave the message and not be anon... but it's 4am and I'm tired and messes up. Don't worry though, didn't use money for this. Had some reddit coins from being gifted gold.
I just wanted to say thank you for supporting this and please give my thanks to everyone who made it possible. <3
Thank you so much for your support! We really do care, and I want people to know that those behind these projects aren't some faceless PR people. It's just really passionate people who want to try to make a difference any way they can.
Hey guys, just to clarify this was not made centrally and it's something the weebs at the RIot LATAM office put together.
Hope you like it!
First of: Yay Jatt is back!!
Secondly: Why didn't they bring BOTH Jatt and Deficio on?
Would have been soooo good
EDIT: Oh, he was sick!
That was the plan but unfortunately Deficio's illness kept him away. Thanks to Spawn for stepping in last minute!
Bamboozled by that thumbnail
It's obviously so that they could bring Doublelift onto the desk after TL lose to IG. kek
Portions of our coverage will be onsite, but not the entirety. Analyst desk will be same configuration as has been up to this point in tournament. Sjokz, Raz, and Azael will be onsite, and hopefully, depending on results and availability, we'll have some guests.

Don't worry! You can get it for the next few weeks! :D Thanks for your support!
