Riot Games’ explanation for this new version of Yuumi

In addition to being very cautious when it comes to the statistical balance of the champion, the developers of League of Legends have wanted to explain to the community why this could be the great solution for the champion. “We’ve made her less frustrating in a number of ways. Her Q is easier to dodge, her healing is tied to her Q, her ult no longer paralyzes enemies, and her best ally will always be her lane partner. She incurs a lot of costs when she’s binds fighters, assassins, or other allies,” Riot Phroxzon explained.

The key line is precisely that of your favorite ally. As promised by Riot Games, Yuumi’s success will be more tied to the laning phase. She only befriends champions when they kill minions or champions while she’s attached, which leaves the shooter as the only viable option when it comes to associating. In this sense, leaving the opposing bot laner behind will make taking advantage of their enhanced abilities much more difficult. We will have to see how it works, but on paper it could be one of the great triumphs of the League of Legends development team.
