League’s lead designer explains why Yuumi is meant to be a ‘having fun with friends’ type of champion

For many months, Yuumi has been one of the most widely hated champions in League of Legends. She can poke out enemies with ease while providing her team with huge amounts of healing and crowd control, making the cat almost unbeable to play against, especially when considering her ability to latch onto an ally and become untargetable.

Recently, however, Riot Games’ developers made significant changes to the Curious Cat in League‘s Patch 13.1B to discouge any appeances in the professional scene, while still giving her some leeway in solo queue playlists.
