The new Uumuu fight isn't that bad y'all are just babies
If you lure Uumuu on top of one of the jellyfish the exploding ball will immediatetly collide with Uumuu and it even interupts the attacks

Honestly, I like this version a bit more than the normal fight. Fighting along with Quirrel was tons of fun, but it's a bit annoying when he'd rather jump around and shout instead of actually making it possible to hit the boss.

The jelly-bombs are a bit annoying in their own way, but at least it doesn't feel like a "friend" is just lounging about with some snacks while I get toasted.

The old fight was perfectly fine (other than maybe for time attack purposes, but he's not alone in the ability to add huge amounts of time due to RNG there--could have made the summon mechanic work like Quirrel in the first fight, though, occuring in fixed time intervals so you'd get the same number of attacks as long as you didn't stay too close to him). You could just dream nail him for soul and fire Shade Soul when he was overlapping a jellyfish. It would break his defenses and do a double hit.

Poor Uumuu now everybody is gonna forget him, because everybody forgets easy bosses

The devs probably didn't mean to make Uumuu harder than Sly, Grey Prince Zote, and most of the dream bosses hence why he's in the middle of the 3rd pantheon.

Since he was, he got nerfed. Now he's more on par with the bosses he joins in the 3rd pantheon. He might get a little buff, they aren't done tweaking the numbers yet. IMO the one needed change was the explosion radius for the bombs, now it's not insane to do it on Radiant (1 hit death).

the devs didn't make him harder than any of those bosses

Yeah I can say I find Uumuu (pre-patch) easier than Sly and GPZ he just plays differently as a boss. Pre-patch he was fine and fun to fight. Sly's 2nd phase scares the crap out of me and GPZ still feels a bit RNG with attacks while Uumuu is just a slow and steady sort of fight.

Well, i find GPZ to be a bit hard to predict at times, but not really RNG

Sorry, if after all this time I still can't 100% predict what he is going to do I find that RNG since there is no immediate tell it may as well be random.

...But he isn't all that hard. The only annoying thing he could do is run toward you, but if you want to play safely, just attack him a bit after he attack first. He's easily predictable.

His jumping around can be a bit erratic, his charge is actually surprisingly fast if you're in a bad spot, and when he jumps off screen... well through very meticulous testing, i've come to the conclusion that he has some complex parameters i don't fully understand to decide his landing spot (trust me, it's not just the position you're going toward or you were at, it's more than that, unless they changed it), back when i was fighting Zote 10.

And i suppose the spiders/exploding zoteling can appear in very unpractical spots.

Still, i don't consider him an issue outside of Radiant/Zote 10.
