If you have been following League of Legends since its early days, then the name SivHD is certainly familiar to you. His “mind tricks” against opponents with LeBlanc and his bizarre build of 6 Rods of Ages have inspired many gamers to practice and use this assassin champion.
After a period of absence, SivHD has recently returned to League of Legends, streaming Teamfight Tactics and attracting a lot of attention from the community, with both old and new gamers enjoying his raw, straightforward, and genuine style.
Like many League of Legends players, SivHD is not a fan of Yuumi due to her overly “lazy” playstyle. Thus, he came up with a wild idea that the community supports to reduce Yuumi’s current state of “doing nothing and reaping rewards.”
SivHD: “This idea may sound crazy, but hear me out. When Yuumi attaches to a champion, for example, Olaf or Master Yi, instead of holding a weapon as usual, that champion would grab the tail of that cat and use it as a weapon. When attacking, that is, using Yuumi to hit enemies, this cat will gradually lose health. Therefore, you can’t just do that, because Yuumi will die gradually, and that champion must detach from their partner.”
I think it would be much more balanced than it is now, rather than Yuumi attaching to her partner, receiving everything without having to do anything.”
Of course, this is just an idea and Riot Games will likely never implement it in League of Legends. Besides possibly causing tons of interaction bugs, Yuumi herself had many bugs upon her release, this method seems to be quite abusive towards the animal. Perhaps SivHD’s point is just that he really hates the “do-nothing and reap rewards” type of champion like Yuumi.
Riot Games also understands this “injustice” and has introduced many features such as forcing Yuumi to detach from allies when they use Teleport or her W – Weaving will have a cooldown when controlled. However, it seems that these measures are still not enough to make the community less annoyed with this seemingly cute but extremely frustrating cat.
