Yuumi Support Laning Plan
Yuumi scales: losing a little gold in lane is normal. Farm safely, avoid early all-ins and win the late game. On average Yuumi Support is 366 gold behind the lane opponent at 15 minutes and ahead in only 36% of games. A 1,000-gold lead at 15 turns into a 82% win rate; a 1,000-gold deficit leaves 26%. Yuumi averages 0.03 solo kills by 15 minutes.
Yuumi Mid and Late Game
What Yuumi does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Yuumi out-wards most champions (percentile 82): keep owning vision around the next objective.
- Yuumi wins 8.5 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- Yuumi mitigates little damage (0/100): one bad position ends the fight, so stay behind your frontline.
- Yuumi falls behind in CS (0/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.
- Yuumi is not a damage carry (4/100): don't take fights expecting Yuumi to win them alone.

- Yuumi tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
