Christmas is a season that continues to bear fruit, with Yuumi’s League of Legends remake slated for next year. The Annoying Cat has been a major threat to MOBAs since its release in 2019, and Riot has finally decided enough is enough.
The magical cat from League of Legends was actually a permanent ban in both single-player queue and high-level competitive play; due to an obvious lack of counterplay to his W (You and Me!). This ability allows him to bind himself to an allied champion, where he remains invulnerable until he is separated again.
Meanwhile, fill up his health and movement speed bars with his Zoomies (E), while providing a shield with his Bop ‘n’ Block passive. OP am I right?
Given his dominance of the ban pool at the 2021 and 2022 World Cups, Riot decided the adorable-but-unlikable kitty needed an overhaul. The question is, how will Riot redesign him while still staying true to the “rookie champion” fantasy?
After all, Yumi is “a champion like Garen, Annie, and Sona, who were created to help players get familiar with Summoner’s Rift,” Riot’s blog post said. “These champions play a vital role in helping players learn League of Legends and lowering the barrier to entry.”
While the developers noted that jumping isn’t exactly popular at lower levels, at the pro level, players used its split mechanic to constantly recharge health bars, meaning even hyper-aggressive ADCs had trouble taking out enemies. .
With that in mind, Riot wants to “redesign Yumi to be an easy-to-learn magical girl who cares about protecting and empowering her allies. This means more emphasis on how Yumi can help her allies early in the game by trading her damage and crowd control for a previous power.
and protection
“We believe that Yumi should stay together for an extended period to serve her current players as well as players learning the game. However, since determination and fragility are the main weaknesses of most mages, this job also requires emphasizing Yumi’s other forms of resistance.This could lead to Yumi’s success being tied to winning lane, allowing her to dodge her abilities more easily and making her less powerful against highly mobile characters. “.
It’s true that the revamp is in the “early stages”, so don’t expect it to be released anytime soon: Udyr’s revamp in League of Legends took a while, after all. As an ADC support teacher and novice, I very glad to see it. I had to ban Yumi several times after bad trades, and considering how many times she was benched during Worlds 2022 (or dominated outside of it), I think it’s the right call for her overall health.
To the guy at the LEC finals in Malmö with the scoreboard asking people if Yumi should be eliminated: do you see the future, man? If so, please let me know where it will end up on the League of Legends tier list after the makeover. However, for Yuumi users lamenting these changes, check out our League of Legends Prime Gaming rewards overview; After all, maybe you’ll get a free skin for your “paw friend.”
