If you’ve ever had a nightmare that took hold of you so grippingly that you couldn’t sleep that night, or any other night for that matter, you probably didn’t dream of what Riot’s devs mockingly brought up in a recent video: Yuumi’s sister and all of her devilish spells.
When asked about removing Yuumi from League of Legends in an Aug. 22 developer update, the devs said they haven’t thought about that. Instead, head of League studio Andrei “Meddler” van Roon jokingly said Riot is going to add Twomi, Yuumi’s long-lost sister who will “have two books, will be permanently attached, will have double crit, a three-hit, a four-hit, and a five-hit passive, multiple dashes, a global ult, yes multiple global ults, [be able to] transform into Lee Sin, has his entire kit if she needs it, and is also Yone and Yasuo’s sister.” Talk about a nightmarish idea.
Of course, the developers were simply playing around with League players and have no actual plans to bring Yuumi’s sister to life (and most fans likely hope they don’t change their minds down the line). Yuumi herself has been a potent and controversial support at times across several Elos. If her sister were to enter the fray, no matter how powerful or not she is, she’d likely enjoy a ton of clout on the basis of being the lost sibling of one of the most polarizing champions in League.
While on the topic of this latest dev update, Riot also announced it’s bringing back honoring your opponents, a feature that was cut when the new honor system was introduced in 2017. The feature is set to return in September, and many fans in the comments of the video itself seem excited to see it coming back once again. I remember the old days when everyone would honor each other post-match—that is, if the overwhelming toxicity of the game didn’t spill over into the client itself.
