So I played new YORICK and he doesn't seem GREAT at anything

Hexs Fortune··3 votes·760 views

He has ok sustain when below 50 percent, average damage and can't really burst down towers due to his ghouls getting 1 hit.

The coolest thing about him is the split push, but aside from that enemy champs seem to always be able to dash out of the ring and 1 hit the ghouls before they cause any real harm.

Outside of laning he feels particularly lackluster. His damage is ok vs tanks, but relatively weak vs squishies for a juggernaut

I feel the problem with yorick is the following

He is designed to be a pet based champion, with a very unreliable way to create his pets.

Buy a zzrot portal

Put it down in a lane with a wave building

Look up a replay of his game and learn from him. If he can get masters spamming Yorick you can to!

Every champion in the game including Kalista has a 60 percent win rate or higher when played by the best players who main them. Bringing up a single video about Yorick does not make him a good champion. It simply means the player is very good, not the champion.

Example

Two warriors meet

1 is a highly skilled ninja with a katana, who has dedicated his life to a one hit kill technique

2-is a gunman who has only started training this year, he has no above average talent, but he is a OK shot.

The fight starts, the cow boy loses cause he missed.

This does not make the katana better than a gun, the gunman simply fucked up. This was completely on the warriors, not the weapon.

Out of the top 10 Best Yoricks only two have over a 60 percent win rate. There are other champions who's best players get even less.

If someone can reach challenger maining a specific champ, that champ isn't utter garbage.

Ok sure but why1 votes

but you know, he still does shit-tons of damage with his massive base damages and massive scaling, and massive amounts of tankiness

that's all riot is concerned about for a top-laner
