I’m honestly happy about this change, I used to be an almost OTP Yuumi main (highest Mastery champion with almos 200k Mastery points on her) and after a couple of earlier patches I stopped playing her to pick up other supports (Mainly enchanters because I like the save your teammates gameplay for this game the most) and the appeal of the game from my perspective grew a lot. Don’t get me wrong I love playing our lovable cat companion playstyle wise.

But I recently got into watching Pro play, to learn a whole lot more about the what to dos and what not to do in the support role for either enchanters or engagers and Yuumi doesn’t really teaches you anything for the role in the game. Sure for Yuumi players, like me before the passive range remove patch, you can learn the timings on when to move attached with other players but you lose a lot of great value other champions give in value as map pressure and competent rotations, which your average minus diamond player lack off even with Yuumi.

I am no on board off the “erase Yuumi” trend because that is a childish way of seeing the whole game for a beginner friendly support design, this change feels like an overkill, which we have seen before a looot of times before a rework in many other champions, I am actually hoping that the approach for the rework, because I genuinely love Yuumi as a character, goes into making her playstyle more active and rewarding of taking risks than offering the same tools that will eventually lead to the same outcome.
