Please rework Yorick, he has so much potential!

I am aware that there is a plan to rework Yorick, however Riot has admitted that they have no plans to start on this rework anytime soon. Yorick has such a cool concept behind him, however, quite frankly he is boring to play and not viable. (One can only spam q-w-e so much...). Yorick's not even allowed in the free rotation....

I personally think Yorick can be one of the coolest characters in the game if Riot decides to make him more fun to play and give him a higher skill cap. Undying, dota's version of Yorick, is amazingly fun to play. If only Riot would up it's zombie game!

These are just my thoughts... There's no use in having a boring champion that nobody plays, right?

I disagree that yoricks "not viable", i think hes just not played so no one see's his potential.

This is exactly what annoys me. They remove him from the free to play rotation (something only done in extreme circumstances like Poppy) and he has so much potential to be cool and unique with a rework. I'm okay with them reworking Poppy and Taric first, because they have been at them for a while. BUT THEY SAID THEY ONLY JUST NOW STARTED! He was disabled from the free rotation years ago. What is that?

Edit: I also forgot to mention they did work on a potential rework a year or two ago, and then dropped it. For no explained reason except that some big series of patches were about to come. Two years later, and they are just now beginning. They had in-game stuff back then. What happened?

Gangplank and MissFortune are the upcoming ones

What I want to know is why his win rate tanked with this latest patch? Went from a respectable 50.29% to 47.7%. That's mad lame.

If yorick gets a rework, Urgot deserves one.

In a business sense it makes sense for riot to ignore Yorick. As a gamer it sucks. To see a champion removed from rotation for such a long period of time, left at a high price, and to be essentially ignored.

I would have to imagine that at riot there are a lot more of them that play Gangplank and MissFortune than Yorick . If they actually played him a significant amount, he probably would be sooner on the rework slate.

Also, the one time I saw him in the lcs this season (not sure if he has been played more since) one of the commentators was making fun of him (the champion). Wouldn't surprise me if he was paid to do that.

Yorick is a very very under-valued champ.
