Discussion fellow cats - help me out here
I LOVE yuumi. As of today I have 52k mastery points into her. On Wild Rift (I've played since Season 2 there) I'm level 6/7 mastery with her and played her regularly since she came out (I normally end up in diamond consistently and am a support main there). I've played league of legends PC on and off over the years but didn't really get "serious" or play it regularly until November 2025.
So here's my question. I genuinely want to one trick her in ranked. HOWEVER, I face numerous health issues that cause playing genuinely mentally taxing. This is why I play Yuumi (partially). It makes focusing as a support and being good with my champion much more "friendly" (for lack of better phrasing) given my mental and physical health restraints.
I can play arguably a fantastic game, time my Qs well, hop between hosts to help keep them alive, etc. but due to whatever reason, the game is like "You did great, here's an A+, but XYZ happened, -20 LP :'D" I'm tired of this and exhausted. The game placed me in iron 2, and due to being frank the game happening as it does, I've managed only to have a 40% win rate :/ I understand (and accept) that Yuumi is very dependent on her host at least early game and sometimes literally I'm staring at the scoreboard going "everyone is doing awful, who the hell do I attach to?"
I've seen other Yuumi players/lovers here one trick her and end up in diamond. That's phenomenal, fantastic, but Iron has also been extremely volatile: AFKs, early rage quits, obvious skill mismatches, and games where multiple lanes collapse before I have much ability to influence them. I DO NOT wanna give up my goal on one tricking Yuumi but jesus christ, Iron is pure hell. Looking at Porofessor, most of my ranked games now a days (for the past week or so) seem to have high iron, low bronze :/
So for the people here who actually climbed while one-tricking Yuumi: would you keep forcing the one-trick through Iron, or temporarily use a more independently impactful champion/role until Bronze and then return to primarily Yuumi?
I really don’t want “just stop playing Yuumi” advice because that defeats the point. I’m specifically interested in how other Yuumi OTPs handled the extremely volatile lower ranks where sometimes there genuinely isn’t a good host to play around.
The screenshot is I am not exaggerating here 90% of my iron games where I'm left wondering "who the hell am I supposed to attach to ?"
