Can we nerf Yorick? Infact revert Yorick back or delete him completely.

Spam Q on minions to get graves, press E and hit enemy champion, win trades for free without doing anything.

Spam Q on minions to get graves, press E and hit enemy champion, trap enemy champion inside the cage, now stand on top of the cage with your ghouls, Maiden and Yorick himself and watch the enemy laner unable to click the cage to escape. What kind of a sick fucker decided that Yorick can just stand on top of the enemy champion and summon lots of pets so that the enemy laner can basically do nothing as he dies?

Good luck trying to right click the ghouls. Why do Yorick's ghouls not die in one hit from AOE abilities or spells? It is impossible for anybody to right click these things because they are so tiny and move about all over the place. You try to right click them and your character ends up moving instead.

Yorick's ghouls and Maiden should not be allowed to proc Conqueror.

Yorick W can stop Aatrox E mid-flight. Why does Yorick W stun targets if they get hit by the edge? Why can Yorick proc Aftershock with W?

His ult is basically a 6th champion every single time it is out. Why does Yorick ult last infinitely, meanwhile Annie's and Ivern's ult disappears after a while? Why does Yorick ult get like 5000 hp in late game and have the best AI out the three? Why does turrets target cannon minions instead of Yorick ult? Why is Yorick ult allowed to hit me while I am behind my turret and the ult is outside turret range?

For me, Yorick is the most broken top lane champion. Not once have I ever been able to beat this champion in lane. Absolute 0 counterplay, but like all juggernauts counters, hope that your ADC is fed or you lose. Yorick beats Darius, Garen, Morde, Aatrox, Illaoi etc in lane. He only struggles with Nasus only. Only one champion in this game counters Yorick in lane. Yorick is unbeatable in lane.

Yorick isnt too problematic. His low playrate and not too high winrate means that one tricks are most likely boosting his winrate up.

Takes 28 seconds level 1, just saying. He's known to have a trash early game for a reason.

If a Yorick is getting pre-6 kills in lane, it's usually cuz the enemy misplayed.

Same reason Heimerdinger's turrets don't. At least Yorick has more counterplay since they're both melee and oneshottable by all single target effects. He also can't just deploy them at will on a charge system like Heim can.

######disclaimer: not bashing Heim balance here

Hahahaha. The word you're looking for is "consistent". She regularly ints her ass off because to pull her back you have to walk half a lane away. Land E with Maiden up against an enemy under tower? Goodbye Maiden.

Dodge E.

There, now you have free will to beat the crap out of him since his Ghouls does not prioritize you within minion wave.

so... you somehow are complaining about Yorick last hitting with his Q to get his ghouls but somehow think that he just using any ability on you to get ghouls is better? you do know what Yorick was before he got reworked right? he would literally press E on you and summon a ghoul on your face that would heal him. He would Q your face and summon a ghoul that would speed him up and he would press W to summon a ghoul that would slow you. Tell me how is that better or more favorable than now? he would literally win every single trade due to his healing and slowing ghoul and if you dare get close to him he would just Q your face and then either run away or have his ghouls literally destroy you while you hopelessly attempt to damage him? like what?

OP is just rationalizing their extremely poor ability against 55%+ winrate top laners. I am actually wondering if they bought their account. 33% WR Swain? Yikes.

Yorick was nerfed. When you get damaged by his minions, the tower starts to hit him instead of them. Also, big Sterak's nerf a while back fucked us over.

ummm you clearly need to try yorick if you think his ult has a good AI, shes literally just trying her hardest at all times to suicide it seems :P

Of all the champs you picked Yorick? I mean idk what you're usually playing but anything with an auto reset can break his cage almost instantly, some can dash over it also. His ghouls then are easy to peel. Also from the way you're talking it sounds to me that you're playing the game as if it were a boxing match and so you're arguing only Nasus punches harder. Basically you're doing it wrong but whatever, I'm sure you think otherwise.

As someone that spent an entire year playing Pre-rework Yorick. Trust me, you don't want him to go back to that.
