TOP 5 YUMMI COUNTERS SUPPORT

Yuumi is a hyper-scaling enchanter support who attaches to allies, providing healing, poke, movement speed, and CC while remaining untargetable. She excels in long fights, where she can build value through passive + Q poke + R (Final Chapter), and thrives when paired with strong skirmishers or ADCs that can carry her into mid-game safety.

But Yuumi has major vulnerabilities: she's completely dependent on her host, offers no early lane pressure, and can’t play from behind. If you pressure her early, kill her ADC, or engage before she has items, Yuumi becomes a passive gold sink — easy to shut down and miserable to play with.

The top 5 counters to Yuumi support are: Blitzcrank, Pyke, Xerath, Brand, and Maokai. These champions either hard-engage before she can react, punish her healing with AoE, or deny her brush safety and poke angles.

Top 5 Yuumi Support Counters

1. Blitzcrank

• Playstyle: Pick engage / lane disruptor
• Why it works:
  • Q (Rocket Grab) pulls her off her ADC when unattached — free kills.
  • Forces her to play defensively all lane, with no poke or roam value.
  • Out-tempos her in every early all-in.

Play Tips:

• Ward and sweep brushes — punish her for trying to detach for passive.
• Force trades at level 2 or 3 with hook + passive + Ignite.
• After she hits 6, try to hook her ADC to remove her from the fight entirely.

2. Pyke

• Playstyle: Assassin support / reset threat
• Why it works:
  • E + Q combo bursts her ADC before she can react.
  • R (Death from Below) executes through her healing.
  • Roams far better — Pyke creates map pressure Yuumi can’t match.

Play Tips:

• Hook her ADC after baiting Spell Shield or dashes.
• All-in level 3 or 4 with Ignite — she doesn’t have enough peel early.
• Use roam timings to pressure mid or jungle — she’s useless off-map.

3. Xerath

• Playstyle: Poke artillery / anti-sustain mage
• Why it works:
  • Q + W poke forces Yuumi to constantly heal — burns her mana pool.
  • Outranges both her ADC and her Q poke.
  • Can root her before she jumps or when she tries to detach.

Play Tips:

• Max Q and zone from wave — she can’t stay attached without losing HP.
• Always pressure with E stun after she detaches for passive.
• Focus on mana advantage — she runs out of healing fuel fast.

4. Brand

• Playstyle: AoE poke / sustain breaker
• Why it works:
  • Melts her healing with passive + Q + E combo.
  • Punishes grouped targets — her attach playstyle gets punished by AoE.
  • Out-lanes her from level 2 onward.

Play Tips:

• Let wave push in, then punish with double bounce (E + Q).
• When she attaches, drop W + R to burn through both targets.
• Build early anti-heal — she can’t out-sustain Brand’s burn damage.

5. Maokai

• Playstyle: Vision trapper / CC tank
• Why it works:
  • Saplings in brush deny her passive access and lane control.
  • Point-and-click CC punishes any ADC she’s attached to.
  • Locks down healing lanes and zones river safely.

Play Tips:

• Fill every lane brush with saplings — she can’t detach safely.
• Play front-footed and walk up at level 2 for all-in threat.
• Use R to catch low-mobility ADCs — she has no peel or re-engage.

Bonus Tips to Beat Yuumi:

• Kill her ADC first — once she’s alone, she’s immobile and extremely vulnerable.
• Force early fights — she’s weak pre-6, especially with scaling ADCs.
• Sweep brushes constantly — deny her passive and force awkward reattaches.
• Always build anti-heal — her sustain snowballs fast if unchecked.
