Yorrick Needs A light nerf

Gonna be quick, so many games solo carried by underfed yorrick players. His split push is so strong with demolish and his ult that seems to always be up. Mages can't do anything about him except maybe kill his ult but that doesn't help when you have to burn 4-5 abilities to kill it during a team fight cause your team is most likely dead by then due to lack of damage from you. And if he isn't shredding turrets top lane hes tearing up a teamfight because adcs are really the only ones that can kill him properly. Now lets say for example hes not fed but he has tons of cs due to split pushing... constantly.... ughhh... he joins the team fights mid-late game and doesnt die to anyone but adcs, the odds of actually killing him are so low and if you cant he can push to your nexus by himself in a matter of basic attacks (OBVIOUSLY exaggerating but thats what it feels like everytime i see him in game). What I have witnessed is unless you completely roll over him early game (which makes everyone pretty useless) he's nearly unstoppable.

All that being said I don't think he should be nerfed to never be used again but either something done to his survivability in team fights to give a bit of reward for actually targetting him.... or slow down his pushing a bit cause having tier 1 and 2 turrets gone at 15 because the other top laner left lane once seems a bit too fast.

Don't mean this to be rude but basically Yorick is only strong when his opponent doesn't know what to do. The last time he was needlessly nerfed, it was stated that it was because people didn't understand his kit at lower elos. He was nerfed and while its not a big difference in lower elo, it pretty much made him useless above Gold elo.

Rather than asking for nerfs for a near useless champion, look up how to deal with him instead.

Few pointers: His Ghouls die in 1 auto attack or single-target ability, but take 33% reduced damage from AoE abilities (idr the exact % actually). Dodge his E, the thing he throws at you, and he is useless... He literally can't do anything if he misses that. His W (the circle wall) at early levels takes 2 AA's to kill and he maxes it last majority of the time. His Maiden can be cheesed, its AI can bug out a lot and cause it to either ignore you after a certain point or it will follow you forever until it reaches a turret. Abuse that. Yorick is at his weakest in teamfights UNLESS he is already fed. He needs to have his Ghouls in order to actually fight and that can be difficult when his teammates are taking CS. Yorick is weak to kiting unless he lands his E and W, so if you can get out of his W quickly he can't do anything.
