Trading Patterns

Safe Poke

Walk up with movement speed -> the enemy ADC -> Auto-attack -> Walk back behind minions.

Punish

When Yuumi detaches to proc , immediately cast on her. If she gets CC'd by while detached, her goes on cooldown.

All-in

Yuumi lanes don't 'all-in' well. Soften the ADC with poke -> to knock up the ADC -> Shield your ADC with -> Ignite to cut healing.

Respect

•
poke — If you eat too many, you'll be too low to contest the wave or roam.
•
Gank assistance — Yuumi's slow on makes it very easy for an invisible jungler to get on top of you.
•
Best Friend buff — Her ADC gets on-hit healing and extra stats; don't take extended trades.
•
in tight spaces — In the jungle, the waves are hard to dodge and can force your early.

Punish

•
Yuumi detaches — Hit her with and . If she's CC'd, she can't re-attach for 5 seconds.
•
is on cooldown — Aggressively trade with and autos. They have no sustain for the next 10-12 seconds.
•
Roaming windows — Since Yuumi can't ward safely, clear her vision and roam with your Jungler using speed.
•
Post-6 — Use to completely negate her ultimate's value and reset the fight.

Wave Management

Early

Keep the wave in the middle or slightly pushed. You want to be able to poke their ADC under turret where it's harder for them to dodge .

Post-6

Crash the wave and leave. You win this matchup by impacting other lanes while Yuumi is forced to stay with her ADC to soak XP.
