Lend a Shovel to our Grave Digger

Hello future claims for the Shadow Isle, anybody see Yorick?

No?

Well, that's certainly not good. Has anyone considered Yorick up for a revamp? With all the new paint and shine being put on a lot of champions I would think Yorick would be an excellent target for some elbow grease.

Just a quick check in, if a rework has already been announced please let me know. All the stuff I see on Google is quite old.

Perhaps we could even get rolling on a discussion on what should make Yorick... well, Yorick and see if we can synthesize some good ideas on how to give our friendly neighborhood grave digger an overhaul.

He's already up for a rework.

Which I'm fine with. I just hope that, after all is said and done, Yorick will still be Teemo's hardest counter.

He has a really strong laning phase but with the current tank meta, nobody really cares about top's laning phase because everybody will still be tanky by lategame. He can really shut down a bruiser carry like Darius, but there are more popular picks for that. And right now you can pick Sion into just about anything, so why bother with Yorick? Sion has potential for a great laning phase with his E, and gets a lot more tanky. He can also initiate for a team and provide so much more CC than Yorick. He just doesn't do damage. That's about all Yorick has going for him, the damage.

I think Yorick should get a stronger slow on his greenies, or a buff to his Q or something. He just doesn't bring as much to the table as other champs in most cases, and I think some extra damage or utility could offset that and turn him back into a "Fuck You Riven" machine. Or something. I really don't know.

He shouldn't keep his old kit, but I think they should still keep him Necromancer-ish. Still raising the dead, summoning pets and having good output at all stages of the game.
