I still don't understand Riots Balance Team's decision

I still literally have no idea why Riot Balance Team decided to NERF Yorick. In my opinion, he is so unplayable against any champions that getting unreasonable buffs (Darius, Fiora, or even Pyke). He is not that bad at all but he got some serious nerf previously. Like what in the world Riot think this is a good idea to do that? Even a support can out damage you in the early game. YIKES! As always, I'm still waiting and waiting when the day Yorick get some loves and attention from Riots or just let us control his ult.

It seems like riot wants yorick to be a scaling champ.

Unfortunately they forgot outside of 1v1 situations he doesn't really have the best late game. And even in 1v1 there are champs that have better early game and can beat him later. >>> Jax/ ireila

Because Yorick was cancer to play against at the time? I don't like the balance team but the Yorick rework didn't make him any less cancer than his old kit.

They nerfed him because he was abusing lower ELOs too much.

Idk about this. I'm a massive yorick fan and he's my juggernaut of choice and honestly he feels fine. I'm willing to bet the reason he got nerfed is because if his laning is too strong to be contested by other laners He'll take all of top lane due to his Q plus demolish. His level 6 all in with sheen is still fucking insane, his level 3 power spike lets him out damage other juggernauts likeDarius and once he gets trinity he honestly doesnt even need ghouls to kill an AD 1v1 if the AD isn't ahead. The champ is fine. There are other picks that can certainly do his job safer but in terms of a 1v1 dueling split pusher, there are VERY few champs who can just outright out duel him when he has ult.
