Yorick a Support?

Is it just me or does Yorick sound like a very strong support champion now? He has what seems to be effective **CC **with a slow on his E, and a wall that traps for a few seconds with his W. Then to add to all that he has ghouls that he can summon to attack the enemy ADC, and his _R _ that summons the Maiden of the Mist (basically another ADC champ that has even more ghouls) to also attack enemy champions and multiply damage if you both are attacking the same champion. Not to mention you can just summon the Maiden to keep the enemy bot lane at bay while you and your ADC go "refresh" at base. Seems to me that you just need to build tanky and build sustainability and you'll be an unstoppable force with your (hopefully fed by now) ADC.... IDK just seems like a support mains dream to help dominate a team and even find your way up to MID and throw your CC down while Brand just EXPLODES on the enemy champ.. [zombie-brand-mindblown]
My brain is just exploding with the endless possibilities that there is with this rework.. I'm very excited and cant wait to try it out... Thanks for your time if you read this and feel free to give any input or opinions that you may have!

doesn't sound like a support champ at all. he would take all the kills with his ult and minions

One thing, he needs to last with his Q to summon minions, so that puts a damper on his potential as a Support like Leona who provides both CC and Damage to make up for her lack of buffs and healing. If you can find a way around this before I can, throw it out there because Bottom Lane is the only tower without Fortification to block Yorick's push.

The graves appear semi randomly from minions just dying around him too, and provide a near on demand extra damage buff when going for trades or kills. This makes for a very strong passive kit designed specifically to work well with teammates, the only drawback is his kit is less team friendly than Leona here. He does not make teammates hit harder, but instead provides such a raw pushing presence that bot lane has to receive even more attention than before. His multiple ways of CC'ing are no where near as strong and reliable as Leona's though, but he definitely has potential in that role now, more so than before.
