If Yorick's design is considered so toxic for the game that he is taken from the weekly rotation...

... why is he still enabled in ranked games?

Shouldn't ranked be the ideal competitive enviorment? I mean, I don't give a hoot what people play in normal games. You want to try AP-Lichbane-Ludens-Bard? Ok then. You want to go full AD Nami? GO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS! You want to play grossly misdesigned champs whose very existence ruins the gameplay experience? I don't care... IF IT'S A NORMAL GAME.

But in ranked that's a completly different matter. Sure, Yorick is kept intentionally kept weak, but still experienced players have a SEVENTY PERCENT WINRATE (using numbers from champion.gg here). So there is a champ intentionally kept low but people still can abuse his design to such a degree, and that champion is still allowed to exist in ranked? Literally NOTHING about laning against Yorick is fun. NOTHING.

I could name you any given matchup and I could tell you something one could like about that. But Yorick? Lol no, I might as well quit the game and take the leave penality because that sounds more fun to me than playing against that shit.

Because disabling a champion until his rework is magnitudes higher then not allowing any person to pick him up and play him for a week. As it currently stands, if you want to play Yorick, then you have to actually save up IP and buy him. And because of his (at face value) uninteresting and, quite frankly, ugly, design, not as people are going to do that as there would be free week players

It would only be a disable in a specific queue. In literally any other gametype people could still play around with him - if you had the IP as you said. Although Yorick does not cost much either I think...

Not to mention that the champion is an absolute failure from a design perspective in both gameplay and theme execution. If I were Riot I would like to make sure that this champion never sees the light of day again until the rework has gone through...
