(this is a post about yorick, the gravedigger and the troubles with his toxic gameplay.)

dear riot, and whomever will read this.

i have been playing lol for some years now, and am still enjoying it today, but you often hear all that good stuf, so i'l stop here. i have noticed you have had a hard time finding a good way to re-create yorick in a healthier and more balanceable way. jut to give you guys an outsiders view on the point, i have a basic rework concept, witch might help.

about yorick himself: -he needs to be a bit more fragile, wich he can compensate for with his ghouls so close and the passive buff. something like lowered base armor and ad. -why not make him an hp caster, using health instead of mana? with this setup, he doesnt need to be all spammy i know, yet again harder to balance, but it would fit his caracter if you ask me

abillities:

Passive (insert name, maybe something like caretaker of the dead?): yorick periodically spawns ghouls up to a cap of (3?) (like illaois tentacle timer). these ghouls follow yorick around and have a fairly short leash range (350?). additionally, for each ghoul active, yorick and his ghouls get a stackable small buff to health regen and damage (+20%basehp5?)(+5ad?).

Q (insert name, maybe...well i dunno :P ) his ghouls gather and on the next basic attack yorick and his ghouls attack simultaneously, dealing bonus damage for each ghoul active

W (insert name, maybe dread (if post tweaks fiddle doesnt use it anymore)) grants some form of sustain for instance: -lifesteal -a mini morde ult (5%+base?) -his ghouls attacks now have life steal? -i dunno, i guess you guys are much better at this than i am

E (insert name, maybe haunt) three basic ideas: 1: extend the leash range by (350?), and yorick and his ghouls get a movement speed buff (25%?) 2: (click on a unit) all active ghouls(or just one) chase the selected target and either attack them for (5 seconds?)(ad damage) or explode on impact dealing magic damage 3: yorick revives the corpses in the soil, after a short delay, ghoulhands wil rize from the ground, dealing damage and rooting anyone in the aoe

R(insert name, maybe harrowing :) ) for the next (15?) seconds, the ghouls leash range is extended by (1000?)(stacks with e) aditionally every abillity cast by yorick summons an extra ghoul, up to a cap (6?) (also adding a buff to the ghouls mightt be overkill, but possible)

this way, yorick becomes more of a pack leader and his ghouls cant chase enemies to far, so he will be less of a bully

once again, just ideas. i hope this is at least a bit usefull to you, knowing how extensively you guys have been thinking about concepts for him. anyways i bid you the best of luck, and please keep up the great work!
