A problem with the new Yorick.

Brostachio··2 votes·881 views

I really wish Yorick Ghouls would follow you all the time. There are so many times where I'll be walking through mid or something and a single enemy minion catches my ghoul's aggro. This would be fine except that once they aggro on a minion they begin to push lane. Once they start to push lane there is no way to make them stop, from what I've seen, and it just ends up with all my ghouls running out of my passive range and all of a sudden I go from 4 to 0. Seeing as there isn't a reliable way to get ghouls without minions and a bit of time and they are an important part, for me at least, in making plays and team fighting.

I really wish you could have more control over the ghouls, like maybe being able to press the passive and it makes the ghouls push lane or just follow you and attack what you attack.

Same with Maiden of the Mist, she seems to just randomly choose what she wants to do. Push lane? Follow Yorick? Stand in the middle of jungle until I'm either killed or decide to push a random lane or follow Yorick? Maybe we could control her with alt click or pressing our ult again, like Annie does Tibbers. Or like I suggested earlier, make it able to be reactivated or something so that we can tell her to push lane or follow us.

I'm not too sure if this is a good idea or not, but I would like to see at least something that helps Yorick players with controlling our ghouls and Maidens. They are a key part of what makes the new Yorick something great, but right now it just feels like they do whatever they want and are too independent of him, but at the same time die if they aren't near him.

Your thoughts?

I think they (Riot) made it clear that the ghouls were supposed to be dumb and mindless, while the Maiden was supposed to relatively (when compared to others in the game) intelligent AI in order to give the illusion that she completely wasn't under your control, that she (or more like it) is just cooperating for her own benefit. Kinda like Taliyah's ult was made to feel too fast in order to convey the idea that she barely controls her power in her lore.

The random shenanigans the ghouls and the Maiden do piss me off too but eh :D

Idk, I kinda like how they'll push lane. Helps Yorick teamfight while they push.

But that's the problem. The ghouls just die if they get out of his passive range, making them completely useless if he doesn't push lane with them, or if you don't want to commit an ulti to them.

Ah. Guess I never noticed that.

You have to admit though, as is, Maiden of the Mist's AI is incredibly smart to begin with, and she suits her purpose. They fixed that some ghouls will prioritize following you, but even then their AI isn't so smart. Also just as an addition, limitless passive range on ghouls would be a little broken if they didn't have maiden, have you tried E'ing a jg camp to see if they follow?
