Does anyone miss old Yorick?

I mean, when I first played against him, I just thought he was incredibly overpowered and no one could counter him. But now? He's literally more overpowered than before, just with less options. I think they should rework Swain or something, someone who is lacking in play because his abilities aren't the best, not Yorick, who was doing just fine on his own.

Just my own opinion though lmao.

I miss the lines, but not the gameplay.

Broken is a term that is often used incorrectly to describe a champion that is simply too strong, but it's actual definition perfectly described old Yorick. There was no middle ground between his overpowered and underpowered states. A tiny buff could tip him over the edge, and so Riot was forced to leave him heavily nerfed.

He wasn't useless, but no one in their right mind would try to say he wasn't below par. If you compare the amount of effort needed to get a positive result out of him to other champions he was falling very far behind. There were simply too many other options for filling the same exact role. He was most certainly not doing fine.

Keep in mind Yorick was subpar when up against people who know how he works. Old Yorick was not overpowered, it's just that no one at your level of play had any idea how to correctly fight him.

No, I don't miss Yorick at all. There was LITERALLY no counterplay to him. He didn't allow you to farm, he never ran out of mana or health, and he made your life a living hell for the first 12 minutes of the game.

Let me just bring this up: Old Yorick is one of the two champions that were not only purposefully left completely gutted until further notice (aka, basically a rework) but also removed from the free Champion Rotation due to how toxic his gameplay was for the enemy team (the other was old Poppy). Fuck, at least Azir and Kallista are still being allowed on the Champ Rotation; they were just completely gutted.

No, no one misses him but a few of the old "mains."
