I've played quite a bit of yorick back in season 4 and tbh it was more of an 'im abusing certain mechanic" then wow i feel really good about how i play league kind of experience.

What can we expect?

  • undead juggernaut type ala mordekaiser?
  • Necromancer tough to take down due to sustain but summons a monstrous army of ghouls?
  • or more of the same this ad spamming thingy with sustain some random ghouls that do some damage?

some of his current problems both good and bad (imo) good for yorick access to early poke and sustain no counterplay WHATSOEVER. against certain champs. (bursty but squishy champs) like teemo or yknow any assasin stupid enough to try toplane.

HIS MOTHERFF... ahem E this skill from what i can tell is the main reason riot got into the mess they are today with Yorick. i got a good long term memory of when he first came out this skill was the bane to anything that dared to show its face in toplane. and beware the yorick that finished his tear..... ow god you were in for a motherFF...ahem big whooping this thing did soo much damage and had so much sustain attached to it was silly. and down came the nerf hammer and it came down hard.

this has led to Yorick's current state and all the bad that comes with it.

no clear power spike.

  • his early game power is severely gimped by his mana issues.
  • sure if he gets fed his mid game is ok but nothing like other champs. falls of hard late game. tbh i don't feel like i even have a late game with yorick. doesnt really fit in anywhere. i mean what is he?
  • full ad caster? even urgot does that better.
  • tank? no
  • bruiser? tons of other champions do that better crap core items. item 3042 this is a mid late game item yet he needs a good early game to even get that which he won't only stupid people get caught off guard by Yorick.

so now that my rant is over can we expect a change to all this?

personally I've always felt the minimal change that Yorick needs was a reverse in how his Q and E worked. E should give you a movement speed buff and Q should heal . this way he would be forced to go in aka create counterplay that he sorely lacks but at the same time he gets a much easier time sticking to his targets.

anyways plz let us know riot im excited for this rework. although i have a love and hate relation with his kit i've grown fond of the guy.
