Yorick Small change needed for aram!

HonorableFool·Sep 14, 2016·19 votes·1,187 views

Hello for anybody who has played Yorick's rework you would know poro king was out and some played him on poro king. I love yorick more then ever,since i loved him before.

However I think his passive for aram and poro king needs to be halved for the graves from 8 enemies to 4 since nobody is really assigned to farm minions in aram. Its a one lane 10-25 min games so making his ghouls easier to stack,besides trying to last hit with q since everybody doesn't care who gets the minions. Hope some rioters see this and keep up the great content!

You just have to communicate with your team and ask them to let you do your thing. If this change was made there are a number of champions who would need ARAM specific changes as well, otherwise it wouldn't be fair. Champions like Veigar and Nasus who also have stacking mechanics from minion kills. I was actually in a Poro King match the other day where we had a Yorick and I specifically asked the team to wait for Yorick to get his ghouls up before we engaged. Worked great, everyone stopped nuking the wave and our team fight got a lot stronger because of it. I've done the same thing on Veigar before, asking my teammates to allow me to get at least 1 baleful strike into each wave before clearing it. They had no problems obliging me. It's all about how you ask and interact with your team. Sometimes you might get an ass who does whatever regardless, but most of the time if you're not a jerk about it people will work with you. All you have to do is put a little effort into asking.

As some of this comment is true,your forgetting that its one lane so 6 minions every wave. Also you cant expect everyone to be as nice as a play (riven mains). Veigar,Bard and Nasus got changes for there stack mechanics,however there still is champs that have stack mechanics that haven't been changed Ex: Sion's w passive, Dravens passive , Thresh passive. Its not like its game breaking either since ARAMS dont take too long so giving yorick this small boost will make him more viable in howling abyss.

Doesn't Veigar stack off champions as well?

Gangplank already gets free stacks of SS

Technically his passive starts at 12 minions need to die then goes to 8 then 4 as he levels up. I think halving the number of minions (so 6,4,2) would probably not be OP since he is a split push champion stuck in a teamfight/poke simulator.

So I agree with buffing his passive, but it isn't 8 at all levels.

Yeah Yoricks passive should start at 6,4,but not 2 that too small,perhaps 3 at last rank,however only for aram.

If yorick gets an exception,everyone should,which causes even more balance issues specifically to a game mode.

That's not all true,Gankplank when he was released they had him regenerate SS for his kit (stacking mechanic), Yorick needs this small change again to make him more viable,not sure if you played him in aram,not very good since ghouls take forever. Just because one champion might get a change,doesn't mean others will or make him broken.

When riot changes a champ in anyway the don't see how broken the champ is,but by how other champs handle it. That's how balancing works,the only way they can implement changes and new features without screwing the whole game.

TyroneWatermelonSep 15, 20161 votes

Think by logic. Without the silver serpent regeneration,it would take him 62.5 farm just to get one of them,and in a 5v5 single lane it's almost impossible. Meanwhile yorick waits a minute and a half

Your just afraid of the resurrection of the yorick mains [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

And you're a fool.

What about RGM modes that don't have CS like Ascension? Should Yorick randomly spawn graves like Zyra spawns plants, or should he have designated areas of the map where graves spawn like Bard?
