Why do people keep saying Yorick's op?

Glîtchy··5 votes·3,014 views

I mean everyone acts like Yorick's the only unbalanced Juggernaut, yet Voli has a bite that does MASSIVE damage, Mundo is super tanky and heals at a stupid fast rate, and Darius has a true damage ult that resets when it kills, sure Yorick can split push very well, but so can Nasus, Tryndafuck, Fiora and Veigar.

Silver 4 according to my MMR (checked last night)

Well, in Silver, they always say the champion they lost to is OP... I've seen people saying that fuckin' Garen is OP. (Hint: he's not.)

I've never heard one person say Yorick is op.

Upvoted. Darius is much worse than Yorick.

They probably hate dealing with the maiden and getting stuck in his circle.

lol man can you imaging a yorick with zzrot , banner, maiden and his ghouls while having rift herald with sunfire cape just split pushing

probably because yorick splitpushes the hardest of all champions, and with the new rift herald coming out he is the top Tier choice you make if you want a game to end fast with an victory. sure, yorick isnt OP in fighting per say, but he is op in winning. and what makes him annoying to deal with is that he can just put his E aggro on the enemy and walk out of turret range for even a moment and his Little creeps will tank the turret while he gets free hits on the enemy and unlike with heimerdinger, turrets dont autofocus his little minions meaning he can deal massive turret damage while making the creepwave his shield. Nasus tryndaqueer fiora and veigar can't really do that. it is his synergy with the new rift herald that makes him such a sudden drastic topic.

Turret auto focuses the maiden. Last I checked they do the same to his minions.

then i must have been lucky i guess because in the rare occasions i pick yorick the turrets never focus my lil creeps until they get focus by hitting an champ or are the first to run in...the maiden yeah she gets focused, that one i confirmed too in practice tool just a few days ago, but i'm now very unsure about his creeps

They do.

the turret focuses what ever is attacking it... i just tested with ghouls , maiden and a wave of creeps what ever hits the turret changes the argo from turret

Turrets prioritize siege minions > walkers > Maiden > other minions. IDK how you checked that, but every Yorick player will confirm this order, because it is super important for him.

Sometimes Maiden will walk into turret range before the siege minion, because she is faster (if you have boots) and only waits for ordinary minions and Yorick himself before attacking tower, in which case turret will keep hitting her until she dies, because turrets only change their target if a champions draws their aggro. Maybe that got you confused.

I just mentioned them because they all do tons of damage to turrets in little time, especially IBG Nasus

not really, the difference is they Need some time until they can, yorick can splitpush Towers down the hardest in the shortest stage of the game unlike fiora who Needs her items to deal damage on Towers, Nasus who got to farm some stacks and veigar who is more focused on the waveclear than the towerdamage and tryndamere who has enough sustain to tank the enemy while killing the Tower, yorick in one champion has what all 4 of those do. he has good AA damage procs and resets with his Q, he has creeps to hit the Tower really hard and the maiden, he can sustain himself incase someone tries to def AND he can waveclear decently well which in turn also increases his passive power more.

but the Thing is he has only a part of what all the other 4 mentioned champs can do, which kept him incheck so far, but with new rift herald out it became more defined and is, in the eye of some people, a Little out of control.

Idk about top but he's definitely too strong in bot lane

As a side note if you have a yorick on your team then let him get herald

Hallbuster1 votes

Overloaded kit to be honest. Add that to his damage, tankiness, and sustain and you have an issue.

A few people will always say X is OP, but I don't see a ton about Yorick. As someone who plays him, he is definitely the safest Juggernaut to play in my opinion and has incredible potential to impact a game, but downright broken? Not sure there. I must say that he is the only Juggernaut (or at least one of the few) who is useful even when behind, so there's that at least.

Literally never heard this other than the immediate reaction following his rework (which everybody always complains about).

He's sub 50% win rate, after all.

I wouldn't really say that Yorick is op,I would say that every champion can get alot of kills and carry the game.Example:Amumu ,Viktor ,Rumble ,Shen ,Nunu .Well I am kind of skilled Yorick player but at the beginnings I was terrible at playing him.Now I can pretty much do what I want because with enough skill you can do anything.Even kill Zed as Vayne
