A Yorick Rework (We all know he needs one)
Just my idea for a Yorick rework, he's never been a popular pick and its been years since an announcement of his rework, I think its time for we the community to step up and help Riot out.
So, whenever I play against a Yorick, I always have thought of him as more of a commando guy more than a gravedigger. Not a single one of his abilities actually use graves... or digging... and I think of him as like a war general because he summons all of these minions to help him/do all of his work.
WARNING, THIS IS A SION LEVEL REWORK, THERE IS A TL;DR AT THE BOTTOM
Yorick - The Specter High Command
Note: Attacks against a non-ultimate ghost will not deal normal damage. Instead, melee attacks deals 3 damage, ranged attacks deal 2 damage, and spells deal 6 hitpoints of damage.
Passive: Ghost Warrior Yorick's basic attack has 400 increased range and summons a ghoul of war next to his target. This ghoul will have 6 hitpoints and melee deals 3 damage, ranged attacks deal 2 damage, and spells deal 6 hitpoints of damage. (Basically like a teemo shroom, but spells will instakill) Ghouls can't be controlled by Yorick, and this has a cooldown of 16/14/12/10 seconds (1/6/11/16). Ghouls of War are melee and can't chase invisible units. They deal 40% of Yorick's total ad, and have 1.300 attack speed. Their base movespeed is 300 and they last for up to 6 seconds.
Q: Undead Calling AA reset Deals bonus physical damage and gains 400 range (Does NOT scale with passive), summoning a Spirit of Hunger Hunger Spirits have 30% of Yorick total ad, 1.0 attack speed, and have a base movespeed of 300. Their basic attacks will heal Yorick for 40% of the damage dealt and slow the target by 15%. Hungering Spirits have 6 hitpoints and last for up to 6 seconds.
W: Rising Doom Passive: Any ghosts near a grave has 150 increased movespeed. Active: The gravestone of a deceased Commander rises, becoming a piece of terrain about as big as Trundle's Pillar of Ice. This gravestone has 200/300/400/500/600 hp (Gravestones aren't ghosts, and will take full damage from all sources). These gravestones will spawn Gravedigger Ghosts every 6 seconds and on cast, who will wander slowly around with 1 hp. Each time a Gravedigger Ghost spawns (Except for the one that spawns on cast), the Commander grave will take 100 damage. The Commander grave cannot die from this effect. If 5 seconds pass without the ghost or the grave taking any damage, the ghost will become a mini grave. This mini grave is not terrain, and can be stepped on to destroy, or will self-destruct if the Commander Gravestone is destroyed. If a mini grave is stepped on, it will slow by 30% Mini graves will spawn Ghouls of War every 6 seconds.
E: Burial Active: Yorick marks a small target area for a death (About as big as Morgana's Tormented Soil). Any enemy units that die in that area will spawn a mini grave, and any champions that die will spawn a Commander Gravestone.
R: Final Battle The ghost of a Commander arises, with 2/2.5/3x whatever the hp of a Commander gravestone is. A Commander has 100% of Yorick's AD + 20% of his AP for his basic attacks. He lasts for up to 40 seconds, and has 1.2 attack speed with 345 movement speed. The Commander spawns a pair of Ghouls of War every 2 seconds who follows him around. This effect is paused when the Commander has dealt or recieved damage in the last 3 seconds. Each ghoul of course lasts only up to 6 seconds. If an commander destroys a minigrave, he will call upon 1 more Ghoul of War, and if he or his minions destroys a Commander Grave, he lasts for 8 more seconds up to a maximum of 54 seconds. This unit can be controlled by reactivating this ability, and any other ghosts will target enemies that the Commander has attacked. (The Ghosts can be controlled)
TL;DR Yorick is a High Commander of ghosts, spawning them to either deal damage, heal him, or create mini graves. Graves empowers his ghosts. His ultimate creates a much more powerful ghost, and this ghost can also spawn other weaker ghosts. Basically, Yorick's strategy is in where the graves are made and strength in numbers.
