Wait what? (Yorick)

So I was just going to go look at how some champions were doing and then this caught my eye.

Like what? when? where? why? how?

I heard was doing well after people started taking https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/2/20/Conqueror_rune.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/52?cb=20180314225947 instead of https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a3/Grasp_of_the_Undying_rune.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/52?cb=20171126182107 but a 55% winrate with a 2% pickrate? The pickrate isn't even that low, is he just an underrated pick right now? Did his split-pushing power just become god tier?

Yorick walks into a bar.

There is no counter.

He’s a great split pusher but that means jack if your team can’t 4v3 without you. Usually 2 people come to stop Yorick and most beta bronzoids can’t win 4v3’s

Yorick is pretty dominant when left to his own devices, but crumples under the weight of having to teamfight... which the game is a giant deathball at times. I think it is nice to see yorick on top for doing what he is designed to do.

Until riot nerfs it because splitpush isn't fun to watch...

Yah dude. His Q has a deadly synergy with Conqueror. I've seen few Conqueror Yoricks even participating teamfights or even 1v3ing peeps which is unusual considering Yorick would splitpush a lot until now. O.O

2% is really low.

They made it so that AD steroids update his ghouls' AD instead of having to raise more ghouls.

I'm fairly certain ghouls scale on bonus AD, so the Sterak's change was good for him too.

Hes pretty good in soloq since hes basicly the best splitpusher. Just splitpush to death and ignore your team, ideal for soloq.
