There are many champions that are strong in the hands of good players, especially in the case of this Support champion between Iron and Challenger in the last 12.23 patch.
In the game of League of Legends, there are champions built for newbies with simple but highly effective skill sets. But there are also some options that require a high level of skill from the player or an understanding of their game tempo. In 2022, maybe the destination of Zeri is the typical case when the Lightning of Zaun completely dominates the bot lane in professional matches. However, in Ranked matches, Zeri proved to be quite weak and picky about players.

In patch 12.23, another case occurred when a champion had the lowest win rate in Iron rank. But at Challenger level, this is the fourth most banned champion (38.7%) after K’Sante, Zed and Fiora. That’s Yuumi, the Magic Cat who is the scariest Support in the high ranks in League of Legends.
Yuumi is the support champion with the highest ban rate in patch 12.23
At Challenger tier, Yuumi has a win rate of only 46.55% but that’s still higher than her performance in Bronze at 44.65%. This is even worse in Iron rank, where she has a 39.48% win rate (according to U.GG). If you combine Yuumi’s ban rate with her 10.7% pick rate at Challenger rank, we can see that the Magic Cat appears in almost half of the matches at the rank that many players have. League of Legends all dream.
Yuumi is definitely one of the hardest problems to balance for the League of Legends development team. At Worlds 2022 – the biggest League of Legends tournament in the world, Yuumi reached 100% and was banned 68 times, appearing 8 times throughout the tournament. This proves the great potential of the Magic Cat when used by high level players as well as the right squad.
That also explains the difference between an Iron rank Yuumi and when in Challenger. To fully master and unleash the potential of this unique playstyle Support, the team needs to have good cohesion and the Magic Cat player must also have the skills to control, read the situation. stability – something that happens often in Challenger tier.
