The long wait is over; Riot Games surprises players with the details of the long-awaited Yuumi rework. Since its introduction, the Magic Cat has been one of the most unbalanced champions in Summoner’s Rift. 

This support provides so many tools to its allies (healing, shields, movement speed, attack speed) that it makes for a more than frustrating match-up. On the other hand, the line phase is just the beginning of the headache, as once this stage is over, Yuumi appears in every corner of Summoner’s Rift.

According to Matt Leung-Harrison, a rioter named Phroxzon, the magical kitty has mainly two problems. On the one hand, it is pretty frustrating to play against Yuumi, while the second aspect of being corrected is that in the pro scene, the kitty is even more potent by taking advantage of every skill.

All about the awaited Yuumi rework

The development team, with these adjustments, intends to make it less frustrating to play against her in several different ways.

Yuumi Review Details

Feline Friendship

This overhaul focuses primarily on a new friendship mechanic. The more kills or assists Yuumi and the ally he teams up with receive, the more their friendship level will rise, and they will eventually become best friends with that particular champion. At this point, Yuumi’s abilities will have various boosted effects. You can increase your friendship with each ally individually, but you will benefit significantly if you stay with one for a while.

Healing technique

On the other hand, Yuumi’s primary healing technique has been transferred to other parts of her kit. It can no longer be activated instantly, representing a significant change in the champion’s strategy. Instead, when she engages enemy champions, her passive provides a modest healing; the champions she bonds with also receive this healing. In addition, although it no longer offers adaptive strength, Yuumi’s W, which she continues to use to keep an ally. Which provides that ally with more healing in exchange for becoming her best friend.

His Q remains essentially the same in both his linked and unlinked forms. She will always raise her Best Friend’s power and provide her ally with more magic damage whenever she comes into contact with an adversary.

Magic Cat’s E effect

The effect of the Magic Cat’s E now grants her and her partner a shield and increases movement speed when attached and detached. Replenishing 20 mana to the ally she performs this ability on is another significant update.

Ultimate Ability

Most of Yuumi’s ultimate ability is unchanged. But, it can now be freely redirected while cast, as long as it remains connected to one ally and does not switch to another. In addition, with each wave that makes contact, this ability slows allies for longer instead of immobilizing them.

In addition, now that any overheating becomes a shield, this ability can also be used to heal teammates. As a result, the ally designated as Yuumi’s Best Friend regains more health per wave. In addition, the best friend will gain an advantage in Armor and Magic Resistance for the duration of the status.

Finally, rioter Phroxzon stated that the revamped Yuumi would debut in League of Legends patch 13.5, which means it will be available soon.
