Yorick is the first champion that makes me feel like ranks in his abilities do nothing.

**Disclaimer: Champion level and ability rank are two different things so be careful not to mix them up. **

He gains a maximum of 100 base physical damage and 2 seconds off CD from rank 5 Q vs rank 1 Q. The mana cost doesn't even budge. It's by far his most important ability and the reduced CD decreases slightly, but it's still a negligible change. BONUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 30 / 55 / 80 / 105 / 130 (+ 40% AD) COOLDOWN: 7 / 6.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 5

His W is the wall and while it probably has the biggest changes with rank from CD and wall health, it's just a wall.
COOLDOWN: 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 WALL HEALTH: 2 / 2 / 3 / 3 / 4

His E might be his best skill to max right now since it's base damage and CD changes waaaaay more than his Q does. What's odd is that the slow and MS steroid doesn't change at all with rank. It also only increases in damage if the 15% current health damage is less than the flat damage. MINIMUM MAGIC DAMAGE: 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210 (+ 70% AP) COST: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 MANA COOLDOWN: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8

So his most important ability scales with his level, not rank. His E is probably the best skill to rank up first since the base damage and CD changes quite a bit, but this seems odd since Yorick was supposed to shift away from an AD caster to a necromancer juggernaut, and yet this playstyle will still have him poking with a ranged ability. His W has the biggest changes with rank, but it's still not the best to rank up first. It's like being Anivia and your wall is the only ability that really gains much from rank ups. It feels awful.

Could we give him scaling AD ratios, decreasing mana cost with rank, or scaling effects on his E (slow + MS)? Right now it feels like I can max any ability in any order and nothing changes at all. I like level scaling but I think it didn't quite hit the mark on Yorick because he basically doesn't scale with rank. This isn't about balance it's about ranks in abilities feeling absolutely worthless.

EDIT: Since nearly everyone wants to go off-topic and make this into an argument about how viable he is or how strong his abilities are, I guess I have to spell it out.** This thread is about his scaling with rank being pitiful.** His abilities are not weak, but his kit doesn't change much after 1 rank in a skill. His Q scales with level, his W is a wall, and his E scales with enemy hp. My point is that Yorick is the first champion that scales way too hard with level rather than rank. Other champions who scale hard with level such as Zyra and Garen find a nice balance between ability rank and champion level that Yorick does not have. It gives players the feeling that the rank-up given with each level is pointless.

EDIT 2: Even after I begged everyone to stop going off-topic, people are still making comments about how good/bad Yorick is, item builds, and more unrelated crap. Please help me downvote these people and PLEASE KEEP IT ON TOPIC. THIS IS SOLELY ABOUT YORICK'S LEVEL/RANK SCALING BEING POORLY BALANCED.
