Riot please don't forget Yorick (again)

johnwilclav··4 votes·1,155 views

While everyone is excited about assasins I feel as though yorick is already fading away after a fresh rework. We need to be able to manage the maiden ourselves because the A.I is horrible and makes it extremely frustrating to take advantage of the bonus % damage. On top of that he feels horribly overshadowed by nasus who can not only Q towers but has a much more potent slow than yorick. This rework has a ton of potential but we need some minor changes to make yorick a real threat on the rift.

How are you even asking for Yorick buffs, Yorick mains smash lane and pretty much late game pushes.

Sorry to say but he's not a "lets play this guy ranked" and carry with no effort or knowledge of the champion type."

There are no high elo yorick mains, invertedcomposer hates the rework. I really don't care about what low elo yoricks are doing either.

It takes time to learn a new champion on a pro level.

They don't first time champions in their ranked games like low elo.

I agree 100 percent, but anyone could see yorick needs some QoL changes. Not getting to choose who maiden attacks is an extremely flawed design.

1 800 Top Lane1 votes

Over 70% of the champion pool needs QoL changes, this is why the champion pool for worlds is what? 22% of the pool? Specifically saying Yorick needs it at this time is absurd when champions for instance Pantheon falls off at 13 minutes.

Yorick's kit was pretty good at first time Yorick ranked. Proper theory / efficiency in mastery/runes and banning Syndra. Jungling him is way safer than running him as a top laner because Fervor cheese aka trust in Dyrus.

That could be true, but I will never take advice from the placeholder of the most deaths in all of pro play, something around 97% of all games he gave up first blood?

If you cant fix something like that, I have no business taking advice from him.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

but you can't give up first blood top lane if you're in the jungle

Your logic is sound. Maybe that's why he plays jungle.

Yorick is amazing now, I find him incredibly fun to play. If he could win lane then he effectively becomes this split pushing terror that will bring down your towers and no one could 1v1. Hell last I played Yorick mid game I just ignored Shen took his tower there nothing he could do. If his team came there was nothing they could do to catch me because I was too fast and would isolate anyone with enough CC to lock me down with my walls.

In team fights I would isolate their carry in the wall and march up to them and deliver a nice lovely Q on their forehead.

As much as I hate the new Yorick, he IS strong , so any buffs, even QOL would probably have to come at a price of lowering his power somewhere else.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

Not reallly, most QOL changes would be where he's overly weak in the first place that are so utility that they might be considered underbuffs.

new yorick is trash but you'll never get the boards to admit it

the rework hardly even feels like a ghoul guy; only 4 at every stage of the game and no matter how much hp they have they still die in 1 shot to most autos

Yorick A wasted auto by an opponent, is an auto gained. Shovel-Namaste.

Do you actually play Yorick? The things putting him back are basically the cancer that was mobile Fervor / Sustain High DPS that were heavily in the metagame like Olaf and Xin. Yorick wins vs. Nasus anyway so I don't know why you're complaining TBH.

Yorick is designed to be a splitpusher. Right now splitpush players are still playing nasus/singed/trynd and nobody cares for yorick.

Unstoppable Monk2 votes

If you think splitpushing is the only trick Yorick knows, you're not a Yorick main.

johnwilclav1 votes

Nobody intelligent is a yorick main so this works out in my favor.

edit: LOL SILVER 5 your word now means literally nothing go learn how to play

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

lol u S5 Bronze look i can play the ranked game too

johnwilclav1 votes

You spent several thousand games in silver this season, you realize how hard that is to pull off? Like do you have brain damage? Start taking teleport and running grasp you test subject.

Also I clearly wasn't playing on this account in season 5, you can check lol.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

the only brain damaged person is the guy that barely plays a champion while believing they know about the said champion

johnwilclav1 votes

The irony in this is hilarious because you have a ton of yorick games and still no clue what you're doing. I can't even put into words how easy it is to escape that garbage elo you're in with ANY given champion. You're the living example of why X amount of games doesn't = good. Have fun spending several more thousand games in silver my dude....you'd think since you spend so much time on the game you could atleast figure out what summoners and masteries to run.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

How much is it to boost to plat 2? It seemed to have worked for you.

johnwilclav1 votes

You're embarassing.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

Oh I am sorry mister OTP plat 2 that is wrong about their non-OTP champion, i am TOTALLY HUMBLED by your PBE SERIOUS SKILLS as Yorick

to lighten the mood I'll tell a joke, want to hear a joke?

Dude, you don't get it. When you have thousands of games in silver V nothing you say or think is relevant or to be taken seriously. Hell, even if you had hundreds of games I'd be saying the same thing but you actually have THOUSANDS LOL.

You honestly believe in that tiny brain of yours that you're playing yorick right? Or doing ANYTHING right for that matter? It's legit so difficult to be in the position that you're in with thousands of loses at a garbage elo, you're setting the bar for how bad one can be at LoL.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

It must be hard for you and your tiny penis not understanding how bad your yorick mechanics are

Yorick actually teamfights like a beast cuz he can just wade through the other team and use his W+E combo to snare their backline while the Maiden and ghouls pump out DPS. Until you get to your targets, of course.

Then you slaughter them all.

Stop making sense, please listen to this 3 game Yorick main because he's plat 2 you have to listen to them and believe everything they say that's how it works.

English is not my first language so i want to apoligize for my bad english before i start. Well this is what i have to say, I play lol since shen came as a new Champ out. Yorick is or was my Main. The old Yorick was nice and easy. Lane Domination in early phase of the game against every champion, manamune was the first real Item because yorick was a Mana Junky and after that, you had to adapt the items to the situation /Champions. Pre Rework Yorick against Teemo ? No Problem summing ghuls to destroy the mushrooms and because of the " Red Ghul does AP dmg the more Ad dmg i have" Teemo was fucked. Jayce ? No Problem, Summoning ghuls to protect me from hes range dmg and at the same time do damage to him with my ghuls. Pantheon ? No Problem, Darius ? No Problem, there was no one who could Dominate MY lane except me ^^. The problem with Yorick was in Late game, he had no stun, a ( not good enough slow) nothing to Hold the enemy. Ahri, lux, jax, tris and other champion could just run, sprint, jump away. ( lux with her "hold" skill) Yoricks dmg was ..."okay" it was nothing that a patch could not fix. The Yorick mechanics now are boring and awfull. Why ?

I NEED and with need i mean NEED the ghuls to be a treath to the enemy, my ghuls die with 1 hit, the hitbox of my Slow is a joke and the slow itself is almost nothing. The amount of dmg potential that i could do is nothing against a jax, darius, pantheon, xin. Its not just hes mechanics its he´s overall dmg and slow everything is.... less. And yes Yorick is a splittpusher and good in teamfights but when it comes to laning phase i lose almost everytime. Pantheon has range dmg, jayce, teemo, even yasou, darius just pulls me and then kills me because i bleed to death. I feel like i play with only one arm when i play with yorick if u know what i mean. Its unfair when you compare yorick with other Toplane champs.

So Thank you Riot for destroying Yorick but creating champions like Yasou or zed. No mana champs are favored here which sucks. I am right now Bronze 3. i play Alone so 4 potential feeders ( i play support in ranked with taric and i have the blue or pink medal thing, so i know what i am doing ) , just because you are Gold doesn´t mean that everything what you say is right, i mean you guys push your egos with a rank status in lol? How about living alone in a apartment, paying your bills or buying toilet paper ^^ ? We should help each other insted of that toxic behavior. So if you know it better then prove it. Help us, tell us your Build give us tips.
