Yuumi is one of the most polarizing champions in League of Legends.
Since her release, this curious kitten has been one of the most hated picks in the game, becoming a bane for many players’ existence due to her powerful-yet-simple kit. She also received a significant mid-scope update in March that shifted her power to different parts of her kit, and is one of the most-played support champions in the game, according to stats aggregate U.GG.
Because Yuumi is a relatively simpler support champion, you might catch her in multiple games as you make the climb in your respective ranked ladders. She can be a massive nuisance when played against, but a great help when paired with the right AD carry champion.
Here are the best marksmen to combo with Yuumi in the bottom lane.
Best ADCs with Yuumi synergy in League of Legends
Sivir

Sivir is one of the best champions to pair with Yuumi because the Battle Mistress’ strengths do a great job of hiding the cat’s weaknesses.
Yuumi’s lack of waveclear and susceptibility to engage supports makes her a problem point for some duos, but Sivir has great waveclear with Boomerang Blade and Ricochet. She is a good matchup into melee dive supports thanks to her Spell Shield, which allows Yuumi to easily survive her weak early game. This allows the duo to truly shine in later teamfights where they’re at their strongest.
Nilah

Combining Nilah and Yuumi results in statistically one of the strongest bot lanes in the entire game. They have a lot of the same goals in the lane. Yuumi’s passive grants her a shield that transfers to any ally she attaches to, and Nilah’s passive increases the effectiveness of healing and shielding. This also benefits Yuumi’s heal on her E, Zoomies. When Nilah’s ultimate ability Apotheosis drags enemies closer to her, that sets Yuumi up to hit a big Final Chapter, her own ultimate.
Lucian

Lucian is a great AD carry to pair with an aggressive Yuumi player. His quick burst trade patterns synergize well with the cat, especially due to her cooldowns being so long at the early levels. Whenever her passive Bop ‘n’ Block and Q Prowling Projectile are up, Lucian can dash in and look to trade aggressively onto the enemy AD carry. Yuumi is then able to provide sustain for Lucian in between these trades, eventually allowing you to bully out the opposing bot lane. Both partners need to be on the same page, however, as a slightly missed timing can be deadly for such a fragile duo.
Zeri

If you’re looking to go fast, Zeri is the perfect AD carry choice to pick alongside Yuumi. With the support’s various speed boosts, the Spark of Zaun can become an untouchable speedster in the mid-to-late game as she zips around a skirmish while staying topped up and healthy with Yuumi’s supreme healing.
Yuumi can also help Zeri chase down enemies if she is able to hit her Prowling Projectile, and since it has a relatively long range, Zeri can glide right into range to land the final blow. Ultimately, Yuumi can set up Zeri for extended engagements where she can utilize her speed to its fullest by kiting away from enemies for as long as she needs to.
Avoid Ezreal

Ezreal and Yuumi is one of the biggest bait bot lanes in League at the moment. Historically they’ve been a classic pairing—two champions that want to keep you at range while they whittle you down. The issue is this means their weaknesses are also too similar and easily exploited. Ezreal lacks waveclear just like Yuumi, which results in their minion wave being pushed under their own turret. Not only does this make it more difficult to farm, but you open yourself up to being dove, another weakness they both suffer from. That’s not even to mention how difficult it is to secure dragons with an Ezreal and Yuumi, two champions that need multiple items before they’re relevant.
If you are coordinated and skilled enough to survive the lane, there’s no denying the duo can become a powerhouse. It’s just a little too challenging for us average players, which is likely why the pair has a pretty sad win rate.
