The Yuumi rework will arrive in LoL patch 13.5, bringing pleasing news to one of the most hated champions in the game
Since its release, players have had different ideas about Yuumi. The champion has a different skill set and a totally different gameplay experience. People could describe it as a ‘love and hate relationship.
Moreover, the LoL patch 13.5 will bring a few new updates to the game, including the Azir changes. Furthermore, the Yuumi rework will arrive, potentially pleasing players who dislike the champion.
Players have wanted to see a Yuumi rework for some time now as the champion’s unique playstyle might not be the best. It used to be a solid pick with different champions like Garen and Ezreal in the bot lane. However, players now pick it less frequently than most other champions.
Professional esports players pick the champion depending on the matchup, but with the upcoming update, things might change. According to Riot Phroxzon’s tweet, Yuumi is getting a huge update. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming Yuumi rework:

Yuumi Rework TLDR
Riot Phroxzon continued his tweets by giving more insight about the rework. According to his words, Riot concentrated on four ways for the Yuumi rework and they are:
- Q will be more dodgeable.
- Her healing is tied to landing her Q.
- Her ultimate no longer roots.
- Her best ally to sit on will be her lane partner and incurs cost for swapping to fighters or assassins (or mobile allies).
Riot Games has scheduled the release of LoL Patch 13.5 for March 8, 2023. The Yuumi rework will also be available on that day.
