Yuumi, the once dreaded champion in League of Legends, has finally been stripped of her power through a rework and nerfs earlier this year. While players typically complain about failed reworks, many are actually relieved to see Yuumi gone and consider the changes a success.
Yuumi’s abilities were notorious for turning skilled ADCs into unstoppable forces in higher ranks, while offering little help to newer players. She was designed as a champion to attract casual players, but ended up dominating high elo and competitive gameplay. Players are glad that a champion as beginner-friendly as Yuumi is no longer overpowering the game.
“I haven’t seen her at worlds, so I consider the rework a success,” one player expressed. The consensus is that Yuumi, being so easy to play, should never have been so powerful in high-level play.
Yuumi was simply unfun to play against for a long time. Her untargetable nature made it impossible to dive into the backline and eliminate her like other healers. Additionally, she provided significant healing and damage buffs to her team, forcing opponents to focus on killing the champion she was attached to. Even after her rework, her Q ability still needed nerfs due to its excessive performance.
Being “outplayed” by a player using an easy character or weapon can be frustrating. In League of Legends, this frustration could last for almost half an hour, leading to a sense of defeat even before the game began. Yuumi’s lack of fun gameplay ultimately led to her downfall, and it is a positive development for the overall enjoyment of League of Legends.
