Reworking Yorick

Recently Stonewall posted a video about Yorick that talked about the champions problems. He asked for any ideas about what could be done to the champion. This is my rough idea on how to rework Yorick.

I would like to see Yorick's powers become more dynamic. Something like a cross between Azir's soldiers and Orianna's ball. The overall idea is to make Yorick a zone control bruiser.

Only one of his powers would actually summons ghouls. This power would have an ammo system. Killing things would reduce the recharge time. After a short delay the ghouls would deal aoe damage at the summing target location. Once summoned they would hangout in a zone around Yorick attacking enemy minions and champions prioritizing Yoricks target. Each attack from the ghouls would restore health to Yorick and that attacking ghoul. The total number of ghouls out would typically be 3 but maybe with cool-down reduction you could get 5 out. Each point in this power would increase the ghouls movement speed.

Another power would swarm the ghouls to a target location dealing damage along the way and slowing anything at the target location, the damage and slow would scale with the number of ghouls. Once at the location the ghouls would begin attacking enemy minions and champions in a zone centered at the target location. Each point in this power would increase the ghouls attack speed and damage.

The third power would send the ghouls to defend a target ally. The ghouls would deal damage along the way (per ghoul). The ghouls would redirect a percent of the damage taken by the champion to themselves. They would also spread out in a zone around the champion attacking enemy minions and champions in a zone centered around that champion. The ghouls would prioritize that champions target. Each point in this power would increase the ghouls health and defenses.

I am not sure what to do with his ult. Powering up the ghouls or making extra ghouls could be interesting. Making the ghouls have an aoe attack or effect could also be interesting.

For his passive I like the idea that both Yorick and the ghouls get stronger the more ghouls you have out. Both Yorick and the ghouls get increased defenses and damage per ghoul. Also the ghouls would return to Yorick if he ever moved to far away from them. The ghouls are minions and can be targeted and killed but take reduced aoe damage. Ghouls last a set amount of time that increases with levels.
