Yuumi was hit with a sequence of steadiness adjustments in League of Legends Patch 13.1B, which nerfed her base stats, passive, W, and E. The adjustments have been met with backlash, however Riot Video games developer Phreak defended the steadiness group’s selections.
The previous LCS shoutcaster defined on his YouTube channel yesterday that the first purpose of those adjustments is to see Yuumi disappear from skilled play. Phreak underlined the nerfs to her base stats and passive will hardly impression Yuumi in solo queue since these skills are abused by professional gamers, not by common assist gamers.
Phreak defined the builders’ purpose was to “take away her [Yuumi] from professional play.” He additionally added the group have been “okay together with her being in a nasty spot in solo queue pending the mid-scope replace.”
The developer defined professional gamers are capable of win laning phases on Yuumi by buying and selling with the enemy laners on their very own to some extent. Due to this, Riot shipped nerfs to Yuumi’s base stats and passive, which ought to make hopping off an ally and buying and selling with enemy AD carries and helps extra of a danger. In consequence, Yuumi’s laning section is predicted to be weaker, not less than in aggressive video games.
“I’m fairly assured Yuumi needs to be gone from professional play. These are an excessive amount of of a laning section nerf to be playable in professional play,” Phreak stated. “And professional will look higher consequently.”
Phreak underlined these adjustments aren’t as unhealthy as they give the impression of being. Whereas he acknowledged the nerf to her base stats and passive are vital, most Yuumi gamers don’t depend on them, and it shouldn’t have a lot of an impression on solo queue. “This nerf is much less of a nerf than it seems on paper,” Phreak stated.
The dev stated he “needs the nerfs to look fucking enormous.” He needs to see professionals cease enjoying the champion and solo queue gamers cease banning it, whereas “low-key, she’s probably not that a lot worse.”
Patch 13.1B drops right now, so it nonetheless stays to be seen how the adjustments will impression solo queue and professional play.
