Yorick has the 4th highest base HP and 3rd highest base AD, armor, and is tied for best MR.

For a champion that utilizes Trinity so damn well, this is straight up busted.

Why the fuck are Yorick's base stats so insane?

Umm, cause he's a tank?

He's actually a juggernaut. I wouldn't mind these base stats, except that his extremely high base hp, armor, and his base ad make destroying other top laners incredibly easy once he gets sheen, and pretty much guaranteed once you have trinity force. There's a reason that champions who have that high of a base AD don't have synergy with Trinity. Because it's broken.

The champion that comes closest to that level of base AD that uses Trinity is Jax.

You COULD make an argument for maybe Poppy, Gragas, etc but they don't synergize with Trinity nearly as well as they used to.

His winrates are pretty skewed at the moment:

But it would appear that the reason his winrate is so insanely low at the moment is simply because 90% of the people who are playing him have less than 50 games experience on him. However, when someone starts to master Yorick, he has a staggering 69.9% winrate.

That's insane. So a good analysis of this data, within a reasonable margin for error, is that once players learn how to use him, he's damn near impossible to beat. In fact, from personal experience, the only time I've ever seen Yorick win lane is when the jungler camps him. Hard. And god forbid Yorick win lane. That fucker pushes ridiculously fast.

You do realize that people with 125+ games on Yorick played the old Yorick correct? Only, like, 100 people played the old Yorick and had high win rates on him because they were like seeing an albino. They were gods of their job. We don't have any way currently to properly judge current Yorick's win rate. Yorick has good base stats because he is a Juggernaut. Every Juggernaut, excluding Mordekaiser who is marked as a failed rework anyway, has insane base stats. Any base stats they usually lack in are made up for in free stats in their kit or a technical equivalent. Darius' base AD is lowish among Juggernauts because he has 200 bonus AD in his kit. Garen has weaker armor and magic resist growth (and a little health) because he gets free armor and magic resist from his W. His AD is low because his Ult Passive basically gives him bonus AD against a champion with basic attacks equal to a % of their max health. Skarner (also marked as a failed rework) gets tons of free stats from his Passive, so his AD is the lowest of the Juggs. Mordekaiser can even be argued since his Passive can essentially boost his HP by 25% once filled. A Morde with a few health items that isn't locked down is very hard to kill.

hes a juggeraut. their base ad, armor, hp, are all going to be high. that comes with the territory of having limited mobility and cc.

if they can get on top of you they should blow you up.

Youll have make an exception for Morde because as he stands he has the lowest base stats of almost any champion

Vallalan2 votes

HP wise yes, but he also has innate sustain/survivability that the other juggernauts straight up do not get.

Of all champs Hp @18 4th lowest by a large margin Hp5 3rd lowest. Hp5@18 lowest in the game Atk speed 2nd lowest amongst juggernaughts Armour@1 20( support lvl low) @18. -83 2nd lowest in the game Movement speed tied for lowest

Darius has a better heal Nasus has life steal Garen has passive hp gain. Not sure about illoai But i am sure your argument has no legs to stand on

Mordekaiser's sustain also isn't that conditional. his is legit just press a button while trading and heal a huge chunk back not to mention has a shield on top of his sustain. darius does not have a free shield and his sustain can be dodged. nasus has good sustain, but no innate survivability in trades. if you go in on nasus early he pretty much is fucked. especially since he'll be using his main trading tool to farm. Garen's passive is decent in lane, but it also only works out of combat. illaoi get sustains from hitting her tentacles. not much to besides that.

I'm not saying morde is busted or anything. its just he is actually deceptively tanky. people really undervalue his shield. and since you clearly main morde I'm sure youre aware how good his shield and W is compared to a decent heal once ever 5 seconds if you hit the tip of a blade on darius.

The winrates aren't skewed at all. There is literally no one with 125+ games played so they have no data on that statistic. Being that he just got reworked and the data they acquire is from a previous season, there is no relevant data based on how many games someone has played as him. He has a 45% and below winrate at all levels and most people think he's lacking and needs buffs.

And yet he still goes down like a Saigon whore.

i have had no issue stomping Yorick in lane with Trundle or Maokai so far. but that is just me

oh btw i just went 4-0-1 in lane in 12 mins vs a Kled with Trundle yesterday. i might of found a match up that wrecks him.

Hmm maybe because he's all melee none mobile juggernaut with soft CC and half a kit tied to him hitting his E.

Considering that "Win Rate by Games Played" says that it is based on "2014-2015 Ranked Experience", it's pretty safe to say that it is referring to pre-rework Yorick in Season 5.

You might not be reading the statistics correctly.

Well, no.

The 125+ games played category does not describe average winrate over all these games. Rather, it is the winrate of players with that many games playing the champion in question on the analysed patch.

HOLY CRAP, THAT 70% WINRATE!?

Astôlfo1 votes

Or you realize that's from old Yorick which almost no one except dedicated mains played. Which is an extremely small sample size.

GULAG 4 U1 votes

Oh. I didn't know it wasn't updated after many days.

Did you seriously just say he has the highest MR in the game as a sign that he's busted? He's tied with every single other melee champion barring Yasuo.
