Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 2.9% popularity, Zyra constantly encounters meta-dominant Yuumi (6.8%, 7th place out of 51 Support champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Zyra performance in the current patch. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching A-tier ratings, Zyra struggles with only 48.1% win rate. Yuumi's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Arcane Comet + Manaflow Band combination (50.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blackfire Torch, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Morellonomicon, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 48.1% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Zyra's superior warding (0.84 wards/min, 34th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Zyra outputs more damage (749 vs 268/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Yuumi: leads in both matchup win rate (51.9%) and KDA (4.50 vs 2.20, 1st vs 41st place). Zyra players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Yuumi as Zyra (Support)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Zyra versus Yuumi matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Zyra deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Yuumi deals primarily magic damage (91.14%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Zyra is superior vision control (ranked 34th among supports) (versus 51st for Yuumi), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (4.5 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Zyra Support versus Yuumi Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Zyra player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Yuumi player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Zyra tips:

  • Placing a seed in your spell's path after you have cast it gives you the best chance of having a seed in the proper spot.
  • Seeds grant vision to your team.
  • Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.
