I like that she lasts forever until killed.
I like that I can put her in a lane and then leave, to make pressure in that lane.
I like that I need to hit E to get her to prioritize. Adds a sense of skill.
I do think that the ultimate should have a lower cooldown, and the Maiden should receive a portion of Yorick's bonus resistances.

I like that she lasts forever until killed. > Yeah, then you are level 12, she dies, but you still get a 160 CD, not even speaking about the fact that the level 1 Maiden need to die first before having access to level 2 Maiden stat. I like that I can put her in a lane and then leave, to make pressure in that lane. >Is it really worth it though ? For me it clearly wasn't. I like that I need to hit E to get her to prioritize. Adds a sense of skill. >My bad there, didn't even know she was focusing like ghouls. I do think that the ultimate should have a lower cooldown, and the Maiden should receive a portion of Yorick's bonus resistances. ** > That's the other way around, where she becomes a better split pusher on her own, I don't think this design idea is good though.**
Eternal Torment1 votesif your answer to yoricks entire playstyle is that it shouldnt be his playstyle, then you have 2 choices.
stop crying or pick him up properly :/
he is very much balanced the way he is now, it will take drastic fuck ups such as with lucian to make him go unbalanced or in Need of any adjustments. he can stay as he is, perfect learning curve, good and openly displayable counterplay, good power spike without going op.
Variks the Loyal1 votesYes, I do play him, I wouldn't comment if I didn't.
It would be cool if they could make her stats 'level up' when he puts a rank in her at level 12. I think she should have a lower CD across the board (120/110/100, which would reduce to 72/66/60 with 40% CDR), which would easily make up for living with the previous rank's cooldown.
It's worth it to me. The way I see it, you can either use the Maiden to splitpush or to teamfight, depending on which you place more agency in at the moment. While she's easily dealt with by a damaging champion, removing someone's presence from your team for a time to deal with her gives your team an advantage, and if they choose not to deal with her, she will deal large amounts of damage to towers, especially if placed in a growing, slow pushing minion wave.
I like the design of her being able to splitpush while Yorick does other things, and it's a strategy Riot actively promotes. It's a unique strength that Yorick has that makes him standout among other splitpushers, and among other champions in general.

These two aren't QoL at all. They're direct balance changes.
