The Nashor Buff and Champion Summons

So I have wanted to play Yorick since he was released because the idea of having my own minions Diablo 2 necro style appealed to me. Unfortunately Yorick isn't so much like that but what Ive read of his rework is very promising and so I got him and have been trying to make the best of what he has currently while I wait (which is apparently longer than I already expected). While messing around with how to make Yorick viable in late game I think I noticed something that brings up questions not just about Yorick but of other champions who have pet "Minions" following them around the game.

 I think I have witnessed Nashor's buff affecting Yorick's ghouls, but I cant find anything on this subject. Does it affect "minions" of  ![Azir](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Azir.png) (I dont think his are entities in the way the others' are), ![Elise](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Elise.png)  ,![Heimerdinger](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Heimerdinger.png) , ![Malzahar](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Malzahar.png) , and ![Zyra](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Zyra.png) . Does it make ![Zac](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.20.1/img/champion/Zac.png) 's death ooze harder to kill? Is this good or OK for balance, especially for some of Yorick's future [rework ideas](http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Emptylord/Yorick%27s_Rework) that suggest him being able to carry maybe twice the ghouls he has now? I dont have most these champions to experiment with how nashor affects their pets.

 I think that the current late-game Yorick needs this to keep his ghouls relevant. The future Yorick that seems to retain his tankiness but with a stronger focus on swarms of personal minions might be more dangerous with Nashor than current early game Yorick.

I don't play Zac or see him that often but the buff affecting him doesn't really sound that bad.

I don't believe the Baron buff affects any of these things.

Each minion type has a specific change from the buff-- they're all different and generally affect one thing.

Melee minions have more health. Ranged minions have more damage. Siege minions get to outrange towers. Not sure what super minions get.

I've never seen any champ-specific units get Baron effects; this is the first I've heard of such a thing. It probably doesn't happen.
