What makes Yuumi such a unique support in League of Legends is her ability to amplify the strengths of her ADC partner while providing unmatched single-target utility. After her recent rework, finding the right synergy has become more critical than ever for dominating the bot lane.
1. Samira
Seriously, pairing Samira with Yuumi? Not the brightest idea. It’s like expecting fireworks from two wet matches—sounds exciting until it isn’t. When these two are put together, their performance tanks hard. Her KDA plummets, and let’s not sugarcoat it—their win rate nosedives to a measly 40.9%, dropping by a whopping -7.8% compared to other combos.
Damage-wise, don’t hold your breath either. You’d think Yuumi would boost her output or help her pop off in fights, right? Nope! Instead of dishing out more pain on the enemy team, Samira actually deals less damage. Add insult to injury: games drag longer because you’re not ending fast enough (or at all). A slow game for Samira is basically signing up for failure.
But hey, what about protection during those chaotic brawls she loves so much? Well… Yuumi doesn’t cut it there either (shocker). Somehow, Samira eats more damage when paired with Yuumi than when she flies solo. That “support” title feels ironic here—it’s almost worse having her around.
It only gets messier strategically too. She wants someone who can dive in headfirst or protect her wild engages with proper support muscle backing her plays. Yuumi just sits quietly attached without meaningful peel or action-packed synergy that actually matters. Frankly, they’ve got no real engage or defense as a duo whatsoever—that’s bot lane suicide against competent enemies!
2. Draven
Draven and Yuumi—talk about chaos in lane. This pairing is explosively aggressive, with Draven’s insane early-game damage getting even more oppressive thanks to Yuumi’s heals and poke. He’s already the type of ADC that screams, “Come at me!” But add a magical cat supporting him? Pure terror for opponents.
Yuumi keeps Draven alive long enough to stack his Adoration, which means one thing: huge payoff kills. Her sustain lets him play like the gold-hungry madman he is without falling apart after risky trades. And let’s be honest, her slow and ultimate make chasing down enemies feel so personal when paired with his axes nonstop spinning in their faces.
Sure, positioning can get tricky because…well, it’s still Draven we’re talking about here. If he over-commits (which he always does), she might struggle to save him from himself. But hey, nothing worth having comes easy—and this duo absolutely decimates lanes that underestimate them.
So yeah, if you want high-risk-high-reward plays starring one very confident executioner and a floating support who loves trouble as much as healing through it? Go ahead; lock these two together.
3. Ezreal
Ezreal and Yuumi are like peanut butter and jelly—just meant to be. His Arcane Shift (E) is the ultimate “nope” button, letting him blink out of danger while keeping Yuumi safe too. She doesn’t even have to detach; they just glide through chaos together. Honestly, it’s almost unfair how mobile this duo is.
Their synergy shines when fights start dragging on. Ezreal pokes from a mile away with his Mystic Shot, wearing enemies down little by little, while Yuumi sits there healing and shielding any damage he takes like it’s no big deal. Late-game? They’re an absolute nightmare if you let them scale—you’ll practically need GPS tracking trying to catch him zipping around once he’s fully built.
And about that early game? Fine, they’re not pulverizing anyone at level two, but who cares? The entire plan revolves around staying alive and chipping away until they’ve got the items to carry later skirmishes or full-blown teamfights. It’s all about playing smart and avoiding dumb trades—not flashy stuff right off the bat.
So yeah, call it what you want—annoying poke comp or lane rodents—but this pairing sticks like glue for a reason: It works ridiculously well against most threats in bot lane setups.
4. Jinx
Pairing Jinx with Yuumi? Yikes, that’s a disaster waiting to happen. They’re like oil and water—just don’t mix well. For starters, their win rate tanks hard when played together, dropping anywhere from -7.9% to -2%. Ouch! That’s not the kind of stat you want heading into ranked games.
Jinx needs someone who can keep her alive through thick and thin because let’s face it: she’s squishy as heck. But Yuumi? She just doesn’t cut it in the protection department. Instead of shielding her ADC during chaotic team fights, Yuumi leaves Jinx wide open to get deleted by enemy assassins or burst champs. It’s like handing out free kills on a silver platter.
On top of that, Jinx actually does worse overall with Yuumi attached to her tail. You’d think having an extra heal-bot would help boost her KDA (kills/deaths/assists), right? Nope—it plummets instead! Fewer killing sprees plus more damage taken equals one frustrated rocket enthusiast.
If that wasn’t enough bad news for this duo, there’s barely any synergy between them offensively either. Sure, everyone loves Pow-Pow (Jinx’s minigun) and Super Mega Death Rocket but without proper peel or utility from her support, good luck ever getting those highlight-reel moments you’re hoping for.
So yeah—if you’re considering pairing these two up thinking it’ll blow minds… don’t bother. Go find ADCs who mesh better with Yuumi’s kit—or prepare for some very sad bot lane games full of tilted teammates and sarcastic “GG”s in chat.
5. Lucian
Lucian with Yuumi? An absolute nightmare for anyone on the other side. He doesn’t just pair well; they practically bully bot lanes together. Her heals and shields let him go full throttle, diving right into trades without breaking a sweat. And when he’s got her Attack Speed bonus stacking his passive faster? It’s like watching fireworks—except you’re probably the one getting burned.
This duo is all about aggression. Early game, Lucian’s dashes paired with Yuumi’s poke can make enemies regret queuing up at all. She sits snugly on him (literally) while keeping him healed as he tears through health bars with those quick combos. If you’re looking to snowball games from Level 2 onwards, this matchup absolutely slaps.
Statistically speaking—they crush it! A whopping 55.24% win rate in higher ranks tells you everything you need to know: players who understand how nasty their synergy is tend to wreck face hard and fast.
The best part? The confidence boost Lucian gets knowing Yuumi’s there fixing every mistake mid-fight or shielding an overextension—it makes risky plays feel downright safe sometimes! Well… safer anyway (let’s not lie—people still “int” playing aggressively). But hey, a fed Lucian + glued-on Yuumi usually ends up terrorizing more than inting by late-midgame!
6. Zeri
Zeri with Yuumi? It’s like giving a rocket extra fuel—it just works. She might struggle early on, getting bullied by bot lane bullies like Draven or Caitlyn, but slap Yuumi onto her and suddenly she can survive long enough to scale into an absolute menace. That late-game power spike is no joke.
Yuumi’s heals and shields turn squishy Zeri into this untouchable speed demon. When Zeri zips around in team fights dishing out damage while dodging everything, you’ll see why they’re called one of the best duos. Honestly, watching enemies try (and fail) to lock her down is kind of hilarious.
The numbers back it up too—a solid 51.76% win rate together in higher ranks isn’t something to ignore. The pairing even boosts their combined performance by about 2.5%. And yeah, stats don’t lie; these two dominate games that go past the laning phase.
Sure, dealing with Zeri’s weak early game sucks sometimes—even with Yuumi babysitting—but patience pays off big time here. By the time mid-to-late game rolls around, she makes other ADCs look pathetic as she kites them into oblivion at hyperspeed with Juiced-Up-Zeri™ energy coursing through her kit…thanks again to our favorite cat attached to her back.
Love high-energy chaos paired with slippery escapes? Then you’re gonna love grabbing kills as your opponents helplessly tilt trying to catch Zeri zooming across Summoner’s Rift—and who wouldn’t?
7. Twitch
Twitch and Yuumi? It’s like peanut butter and jelly but with more explosions. This duo thrives on sneaky plays that drive opponents insane. When Twitch goes invisible, Yuumi just hops on for the ride, turning a stealthy assassin into an unkillable nightmare. Her heals keep him alive during those risky guerrilla attacks while her speed boosts let them slip away before anyone knows what hit them. Basically, it’s hide-and-wait-then-destroy gameplay at its best.
Late game? Forget about subtlety—this pair dominates fights like it owns the Rift. With core items like Runaan’s Hurricane or Blade of the Ruined King in his arsenal, Twitch morphs from rat to raid boss faster than you’d believe. If he’s protected long enough (hello, Yuumi shields), enemies get shredded by Spray and Pray in mere seconds. It turns team fights into “try not to scream” challenges for opponents.
Sure, their early game isn’t great because they’re prone to getting stomped if bullied too hard—but whatever! One kill near mid-game is all they need to flip momentum entirely. The synergy between his damage-over-time poison stacks paired with her poke abilities makes even passive play feel aggressive when done right.
And don’t forget ganks! Watching this dynamic duo ambush unsuspecting mids is equal parts hilarious and horrifying for anyone on the receiving end; imagine thinking “safe lane,” then suddenly seeing two health bars melt yours instantly… fun stuff!
