By asking you to actually discuss gameplay in a gameplay thread I'm using baseless facts to bring down your argument? Okay, lets talk about gameplay, and why Yorick used to counter Teemo. Yorick's old kit was all about spawning a ghoul each time used an ability, but lets be honest, what he was really used for was a long range tanky class that could poke you down with the ranged slow ghoul drop and then dive you under tower when you were too low to fight. Considering Teemo is a squishy champion, yes old Yorick countered teemo. Now what does new Yorick do? He is a melee brawler that semi-controls his ghouls by using his E to mark targets. How does he generally build up these ghouls? He last hits targets with his Q. While Yorick Q is a lower cool down than teemo blind, the fact remains every second Q teemo should be able to block. This mean that the time it takes Yorick to stack up ghouls through Q effectively doubles, if we ignore his passive for a second. Why are we ignoring Yorick's passive? because at lower levels it takes 12 minion deaths to get 1 grave, that's 2 waves, and unless you are the greatest lane freezer in the world you'll be nowhere near that spot when your second passive grave spawns. Considering you're trying to freeze on a teemo the odds are you will not successfully freeze the lane. So not only is your Q grave stacking slowed down, you also have to be a godlike lane freezer to fill in those gaps using your passive early game, which is likely only the top 1% of players who could even consider doing this. At that point counters mean close to nothing anyways. So basically you're in a lane of push and pull, and until you have ult you can't really just all in a teem either. To make matters worse, unless Teemo is just sitting in your minions with no wave of his own the ghouls primarily seem to focus the minions since they are the closest target, so to even get them to attack teemo, you have to land a really awkward skillshot on just teemo to put the mark only on him. As if that is not bad enough it's very easy for teemo to just kill the baby ghouls, outside the ult Maiden they all go down in like 1-2 hits and do not that much damage. So considering how many "ifs" there are to even consider in this matchup for the yorick, it is undeniably clear that the 1v1 favors teemo.
Please make a valid response to this.
