Wild Rift Patch 3.4 - Champion Reworks

Yuumi will be the only champion to receive a rework in patch 3.4 - and it's a massive one. Riot argues that she's been a point of frustration for many players and doesn't possess the abilities to win games. With that in mind, they'll be trying an unconventional approach to Yuumi in hopes that she will be less frustrating to play against while also letting Yuumi players feel more comfortable with her abilities.

Here are the full details of Yuumi's rework in Wild Rift patch 3.4:

Yuumi
