@Riot About the old Yorick rework idea on the league of legends wiki, any input?
PASSIVE: Expiration Date Yorick's summons a spectral ghoul every 30 seconds, reduced by 2 seconds whenever Yorick lands an attack. Ghouls have 25% of his health and 10% of his total attack damage. If Yorick controls more than 3 ghouls, they will slowly lose health over time until only 3 ghouls remain. Yorick's ghouls guard him by default, following him around and attacking nearby enemies (prioritizing his attack target). While Yorick has at least one ghoul guarding him, he will take 20% reduced damage that is shared among ghouls that are guarding him. Yorick can command his ghouls to do other actions using his abilities.
Q: Shovel Sweep Yorick cleaves all enemies in front of him with his shovel, dealing (+AD) physical damage. If any ghouls are alive when cast, they will also cleave in an area around them, dealing 20% of that damage. The damage areas will stack. If a champion or large jungle monster is slain within 2 seconds of being struck by this ability, Yorick will instantly revive a spectral ghoul.
W: Pestilent Ichor Yorick lobs a glob of corpse rot at the target location, dealing (+AD) physical damage to all enemies in an area and slowing them for 1.5 seconds. Ghouls hit by the corpse rot will become explosive ghouls and will rush toward the nearest enemy champion, exploding upon contact and dealing (+AD) physical damage and slowing nearby enemies.
E: Mark of the Soil Yorick flings gravesoil at a target, dealing (+AP) magic damage, marking them for 10 seconds. If a spectral ghoul is guarding Yorick, he will turn one into a ravenous ghoul. All ravenous ghouls become enraged and attack the marked target for up to 10 seconds. Enraged ghouls have bonus attack speed and store a percentage of their damage dealt. Reactivating this ability makes the enraged ghouls return to Yorick, healing him for all of the damage stored.
ULTIMATE: ( Personally, my favorite idea ) Embrace the Inevitable Yorick opens a grave in the earth, summoning 5 ghouls at the target location. While those ghouls are alive, Yorick can re-activate Embrace the Inevitable to move command the army.
