REMOVE YUUMI FROM LEAGUE OF LEGENDS


REMOVE YUUMI FROM LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
The Issue
I'm creating this petition to have Yuumi removed from the game; here are some of the reasons I’ve provided:
Yuumi is a frustrating champion that is neither fun to play with or against and due to her forced gimmick, her near permanent invulnerability, being extremely uninteractive, which is something that Riot promised to avoid in their champs. She is very slippery and difficult to catch, hiding on a new ally once her current host dies which makes for some of the most annoying experiences League of Legends has seen. She provides nothing good for the game and to the players as well. She requires extremely low skill to pull off; all she does is sit on an ally while letting everyone else play the game for her. She was designed to be an easy champ to play, but all she does is hinder people who can’t play anything besides Yuumi, as she throws core mechanics such as positioning in the trash can. Even champions that are mocked for being braindead such as Garen and Sona at least have to put their feet on the ground. Yuumi is so outrageously easy that there have been several videos made of people playing her with ridiculous challenges, because she is that easy to pull off. It also creates a toxic environment since players can literally not do anything the whole game and have the perception that they’re impacting the game. This makes the person playing Yuumi toxic, as the best thing they can do is shout out demands for their team to pull off, and other players feel awful, as they have less impact than someone who is not playing the game. I even had a friend of mine pick Yuumi so she could eat her noodles, and she just did nothing for the whole match.
There is also an issue with Yuumi and her kit being able to boost players more than Janna and Lulu players during the Ardent Sensor meta. I have watched a high Diamond Yuumi main streamer, who was queueing with an ADC, and it is completely absurd with how little she did. For around half the match she wasn’t even touching anything during points where she could watch other lanes or keep track of vision. I don’t even remember a time where she detached. Yet since she had a powerhouse of an ADC, she was able to inflate her rank to places where she shouldn’t be. People already get mad for autofill junglers, but just imagine how horrible it is when you kick a Yuumi main off their kitten shaped stroller; in fact, I have already experienced this in one of my own games, and it was more irritating for all players on the team than anything you could imagine. I had a Yuumi main friend that had the champion taken away by the enemy team; she was forced to go play Lux. She ended up barely doing much in lane, moving as if she was thrown out of a wheelchair and barely landing any of her skillshots. We got destroyed in lane, she stopped trying to play the game, and she removed me from her friend list even when I tried to talk to her. Playing Yuumi is almost like running scripts; you barely have to do anything to win, although if they get removed, you get handicapped for not learning important mechanics in the game. Here's a clip of me, the Tristana, showing clearly how triggering Yuumi is due to how she can slip away like a rat while doing things that would normally only produce question mark pings: https://streamable.com/iy926 (This was also the Lux game mentioned previously).
And lately, thanks to the pro players, a new playstyle has been found which consists to pick Yuumi support as usual and build fully AP and have the ADC pick a bulky tank such as Garen to be used like a bunker for Yuumi's protection while she quietly pokes the enemy team for a good portion of their health, even sometimes managing to deal more damage than every other ally combined. Every time one of her undodgeable abilities hits, and every time Garen absorbs a full Syndra combo, everyone watching the game loses excitement. Pro play is the place where people get to show off their thousands of hours of practice, and Yuumi turns this talent show into a staring contest. I'm sure that a lot of people can relate to everything I said and
I hope that I have provided good and worthy reasons on why Riot should delete this abomination of a champion.
