Yorick: "I am dying, nobody plays me, please Riot help, please!!!"
Silver IV Riot developer who gets dumpstered by a Yorick on toplane: "In patch 8.17, we are removing a bit of damage (that adds up as a heavy nerf) to Yorick, because our dear developer got ass blasted by it in lane."
Dev team is becoming bigger & bigger meme every single day [sg-kiko]
These retarded apes are literaly saying "Oh you're bad, so we're toning down his damage, because you refuse to learn to play our game, because our silver V developer who hasn't played for 6 months, played one game, and Yorick rekt him, because even he didn't know his mechanics, but he's on the dev team, he knows how to balance the game!" Just, fucking, retarded. What's next? Buffing all the 1-button champs, starting with Annie, while nerfing champions that have some depth to their gameplay??? :D [zombie-brand-mindblown]
I think that at this point, even if you put bronze (that strive for improvement) on the Dev team, they'd do a better job.
Really this doesn't affect his overall ability to take turrets, which is what they were aiming for. Take power away from his dueling so he is allowed to take turrets as fast as he does without people complaining.
What ended up happening is they nerfed the only reason to play him over any other lane pusher. They nerfed a champion because a group of really bad players are too busy raging to read how his Mist Walkers work. If they wanted to curb his "strength" they could nerf how fast he can take turrets or his E's movement speed bonus towards champions marked by it. Its not needed, but it would be better than nerfing his one way to trade and fight in lane.
And people wonder why nobody come in the board.
Bunch of QQ topic about X champ, of random ass silver to D5 player talking about how they know everything about the balance of the game and how they loose because of 56465 excuses when they don't even know the game at the high level, free insult on the balance team because you didn't like a change, bias everywhere.
Everything here is pure cancer, I can't even understand how people dare to say reddit is bad when you see this.
Revert Yorick.
On the flipside they deal more damage in the late game, but that don't mean shit in this early game meta. Listen the dev team have a bias and fucking hate that anything that isn't a popular champion. Just look at who is meta.
Yorick was healthy but these nerfs are there because they don't like the fact that Yorick is viable. You'd be better turtling the early game if you don't get ganked a lot.
This nerf is uncalled for. I very dislike it. I don't know if it is reasonable to pick yorick now since you won't be able to trade that well early in laning phase.
Just like pre-rework Yorick this version is going into the cellar.
This is one of those unneeded nerfs
Really the only thing that they needed to nerf Yorick with is making all of his hidden numbers and mechanics known.
