Chances are, you're looking at this post because you felt like doing something new, something to spice up your day. Well, I'm here for ya with something you might like to give a shot today in normals.

Build can fluctuate depending.

In lane you're going to be extremely reactive. Farm off your spoils of war by Q'ing minions to create a grave, at level 2 (if you trust your adc) or three, wall off the ADC or support if they get too close, Raise your ghouls, and throw your E onto them in the wall, your ADC can go in afterwards and pick up the kill. Usually nets about 1 if done right, and can do some massive harass.

Level 6. Use ult in teamfights to provide damage and a meatshield for your backline, wall off threats and E them. Your ult provides %max health damage for the tanks, and Gauntlet for the squishies. Become the Juggernaut that Skarner wishes he could be; A Tanky a**, CC'ing a**,flexin' a** mother-fugga

Masteries

0/12/18 Take bond of stone in the defensive side(your item 3025 and item 3022 work with this), and mana regeneration with bandit in the utility tree. EDIT* Yorick can solo dragon provided he has ghouls. Tank it so the ghouls can survive enough to be relevant.

Now, go out there and make people regret their queue dodges by earning yo' ADC some major dough and winning games DISCLAIMER: Do not try this in ranked, it should go without saying but... unless you're in a duo botlane or 5 man, don't

I considered this after his rework. I do like the new Yorick a lot, but isn't this just strictly worse than most other on-meta tank supports?

Yorick's W is very short range, even shorter effective range to reliably hit without them simply running out of it. To land it, he needs to wander up , which opens him up to poke. And his damage is sorely lacking unless he's got graves prepared, which means he'll probably need to occasionally steal CS and certainly push the lane.

Top lane Yoricks generally prefer to split push than team fight due to the reliance on his creeps for him to have any impact, and Support Yorick is going to have that same problem except with less farm. Seems rough.

He's a fun champ that can probably steal a dragon solo at some point in the game, but other than that element of control I just don't see the appeal. As far as engaging tanky champs go, wouldn't you rather just play Nautilus, Galio, Blitzcrank, Thresh, Leona, or similar?

But hey, even so, +1 for thinking outside the box.
