mountain drake while 5 enemies are top lane trying to stop the Yorick power push when there's an open inhibitor turret and pushed wave bottom (also thanks to me), please uninstall the game.

Started game 9/0, finished 9/7, still got the win thanks to a Malzahar who eventually went bottom lane (sacrificed himself twice) for us to get top/bottom inhibtors.

I don't get it... The enemy team sent 5 top to stop a Yorick split push, which you'll never reach in time, so why wouldn't you capitalize on that and get dragons and turrets? That's kinda the whole purpose of split pushing - you push to try to get towers and if you can, perfect, if you can't, you attract attention while your teammates get objectives elsewhere (like that dragon). I would understand how going for the dragon would be a bad thing if you were the team that was against the Yorick, but from what it sounds like in your post, either you or one of your teammates was the Yorick, so going for that dragon was 100% the right call.

I see you have a lot of simpletons in agreement with you, the same ones that disliked my post most likely. Let me put it in perspective you.

Your way = I get killed top, we get a dragon.

My way = I get killed top, you take bottom inhibitor. With super minions owning bottom lane and me pushing top, you get uncontested dragon, with super minions taking down Nexus turrets and me destroying top inhibitor.

Still think your way sounds better?

Or the other, more likely version of this, where you get killed top lane, enemy team then rotates bot lane and kills off your allies, get an ace, and push down all 3 lanes, getting at least 1 turret each. Nobody is able to capitalize on the inhibitor being down because any teamfight you try to go for is 4v5 because you have a split pushing Yorick. The dragon was 100% the right call because it was the safest way to benefit the team. Going for the inhibitor risked a throw.

Go to Lolking.net or op.gg and please tell me what my Yorick win rate is, I believe it was over 90% last I checked.

I don't see what your win rate has to do with what was the safer call for your teammates to make in this situation. The dragon would give 10% bonus true damage to turrets, dragon, and baron, making it easier to kill the baron and towers while negating the dragon's Ancient Grudge passive (at least I think that's what it's called) where you deal reduced damage to dragons and take increased damage from dragons based on how many dragon's you've killed. Fact is, depending on how far along in the lane you were, if you were at least on the inner turret, the dragon is always 100000000000000000% of the time the better call because it's safer. Enemy team 5v1's you then goes bot to take your team out 4v5, your team gets the inhib but you get aced, they get that dragon, they get baron, they push to end.
