Can we nerf yorick but correctly this time

Hello, I have like 1.5k games on this champion Yorick currently plat 3 trying to make my way to diamond.

Anyways...

The past nerfs will do nothing to stop Yorick from reking top lane as Yorick's damage is not why he's strong. Yorick is a juggernaut and all juggernauts have to play around some sort of mechanic to reach their full potential which is a fun from a player prospective as it feels good to be rewarded for meeting your win conditions.

However, with the recent ult changes the Yorick player no longer has to do anything to reach his full DPS as the maiden constantly will auto spawn ghouls letting Yorick basically ignore his Q mechanics. WHICH is super important because beating Yorick in lane is entirely based on the enemy playing around the graves and zoning Yorick when he has none and trading in those moments.

Its basically the equivalent of Darius constantly have 5 stacks up, there is just no opening for engagement.

If the Yorick is good and can control the wave, its impossible to trade with him or interact post 6 unless you can 100-0 him with the jger.

With that said...

Revert the recent nerf cause his kit damage has only been nerfed like 3 times in the past year and more importantly remove the auto spawn mist walker mechanic on the maiden. Its too oppressive and lets bad yoricks be successful.

That way he again has windows on vulnerably people can play around and Yorick players cant just ignore it post 6.

Personally I would like it to be locked behind his lvl 11 ult since by then the lanes over typically and the mechanic is fine post laning.

the maiden needs to have ghouls for split pushing though, so what would you suggest to compensate? Having her only spawn her own ghouls when released?

Woah now dude. You're asking for some extreme stuff. Hes oppressive now because maiden can be permanent unless you mess up super badly. They need to remove the permanent link maiden has to yorick.

Aka: revert maiden back to original but keep the ghouls the way they are.

How about this if you want that? Rework the Undead Army Maiden passive, and add some of his mechanics into her passives.

FINAL SERVICE: Maiden of the Mist raises a Grave for every enemy champion and 6th / 3th / 1st (based on level) non-champion enemy that dies near her, as well as for every enemy she kills.

AWAKENING: Maiden of the Mist raises a Mist Walker from each nearby Grave, consuming the Graves she used. This passive ability only activates if there are at least 3 Graves around her.

Undead Army Upon spawning, the Maiden of the Mist summons 2 / 3 / 4 Mist Walkers by her side, and while she has fewer than 4 under her fold, she can use Awakening to raise a Mist Walker from a Grave.

Hows this, it keeps the "needs to stack graves" mechanic to unlock full potential, but still allows her to move down lanes and clear towers on her own, and it will also still feel like an Ult to Yorick b/c it still helps him, but it won't be over bearing
