Why play Yuumi?

Well, if you want to play support and (with my runes) not get flamed for being a 'useless Yuumi' by your ADC, Yuumi is perfect.

She has good early trade with her Q and healing with her E . Guardian helps reduce any early damage so try not to go all in until it is up.

Her late game potential, contrasting her early game, is brilliant. She can keep almost any tank alive in any situation with her passive and her team fight capability is unrivalled with a good R

Though she is squishy, Guardian and her W shield keeps you alive in laning phase.

In the early game you want to mainly stay attached to your ADC with W , using your Q to poke the enemy and stack your Spellthief's while keeping your ADC safe with E .

A combo I always use in the early and late game goes like this:
Wait for your W to have a 0 second cooldown. Then, Q for your empowered Q. W , auto to get your passive Bop 'n' Block shield and mana back before instantly using W to get back onto your ADC. after practice you can do this in less than a second and not even let the enemy get a hit on you.

In an extended trade lat game, use your W and auto for your mana and passive shield before reattaching to keep your carry alive. Sometimes this can be done multiple times and with Revitalise and blood charges from Athene's , if the person you are attached to is low, you will be able to save them with a quick E .

Now for Yuumi's R . It's quite simple. Use it in lane to root the enemy carry or to help escape a gank. Always remember, a good Yuumi player knows that they can W while using R to reposition and catch all the enemy team in her R

Your laning phase consists of you staying attached to your ADC ONLY DETACHING WHEN YOUR W COOLDOWN IS AT 0 This means that you can detach, auto to get your mana and shield and reattach instantly and avoid being caught and inevitably killed.

Getting picks early can be nice but don't greed.What separates a good and bad Yuumi is their use of Yuumi's PASSIVE ; when and when not to detach.

Roaming is not something Yuumi is good for but if you are ahead in lane and your opponents are missing, Yuumi is perfect for attaching to a jungler invading the enemy jungle.

Try and build up your core items and play safe, Keep your ADC near when warding objectives or river/tri bush.

So, you made it past laning phase and hopefully picked up a few assists and made sure you and your ADC didn't int. Good. Now your primary objective splits into two. Pay attention to if your Top laner/tanky jungler is fed. If they are, your chances of winning the game increase if you stay with them. Being in the front line is a brilliant spot to get a good R off and ensure your frontline is not broken through. however, if they are not doing as well, stick to your ADC and help them survive no matter what.

Your R is also perfect for ensuring objectives are secured. At baron and drake your R has a lor of pressure. Whoever jumps into the pit is pressured by your large area of effect root which can potentially catch the whole enemy team and end the game for the enemy.

Now that you are/almost at full build you become the enemy team's top priority. Your heal is reducing their damage to a few pokes and your Q actually does damage as well as your W giving you and whoever you are attached to a lot of adaptive force, realistically transforming whoever you are on into a hard carry.It is your job to keep everyone safe and engage picks with the slow on your empowered Q or your R .
