Yuumi Midscope Update Is Available for Testing in LoL PBE Servers


After years of frustration, the League’s least favorite cat is seeing big changes to her kit.

Yuumi has been the most disliked champion in the game for LoL players, especially so after she dominated the pro play for the last year or so along with her bot lane partners Zeri and Sivir. As the frustration about the cat grew more and more in the community, her ban rate also started to rise in solo queue, even with her not-so-great overall win rate. To help with this problem, and also bring her pro play and solo queue viability closer, Riot decided to give Yuumi a quick rework.

But before they went ahead with the rework, Yuumi received some massive nerfs with the patch 13.1b to get her out of the pro play in the meantime. After the nerfs, Yuumi dropped to a whopping 40% win rate in solo queue and was nearly unplayable for the last two patches. Thankfully, the Yuumi midscope update just hit the Public Beta Environment (PBE) servers for testing and will be included in this week’s live patch, 13.5.

According to the statements from Balance Team members in recent months, Yuumi will take on a new direction with her place in the game. She will be a less powerful but easy-to-play champion that will let players get to know the game and get comfortable with the simple concepts in it. All the while addressing some of her bigger problems in pro play like the massive guaranteed Crown Control inside of a teammate, constant healing and the high amounts of stats she provided to her allies.
