Patch 7.11 Question - Creep Score / Farming

Hey guys - I had a few questions about the new way they will be keeping track of creep. In short, they said units that create other units make it hard to tell how well you are last - hitting. So now, you will still get gold, just not creep score. The ones they mentioned were Elise , Heimerdinger , Illaoi, Malzahar , Shaco , Yorick, and Zyra Here are my questions;

  1. Did they just make it harder for all those champions to get S-rank? Think about it, although it isn't an accurate show of how well they are "last hitting" - that is just how their character plays. Illaoi smashes things, Yorick summons walkers to kill minions for him, Heimerdinger shoots the frick out of everything. Once this update releases, they will consistently appear to be losing the far battle because they won't get the creep. They could easily be equal or ahead in the gold race - but they will look on paper to be losing in terms of creep score. And at the end of the game, they will now until forever have LESS creep than they would've normally.I am pretty sure a major part of what gives you an S rank is based on your creep score / and the time it took you to get that. Did that just hurt all of those players ability to get creep?

  2. And this is really small potatoes - but they list Yorick "mist walkers" AND "dark procession rings" as something that gets him creep. Not just once did they list this, but TWICE now Riot Corporate has said BOTH things. WHAT!? As a Yorick main I can't even understand what the heck they are talking about. Of course the mist walkers get creep; that is obvious. But the DARK PROCESSION RINGS!? That is the little circle that pops up and traps people.... IT doesn't kill freakin anyone or anything? I have never dealt damage with that. It is a circle/trap! SO did Riot mess up and mean "Maiden" (His ultimate - big scary evil floaty woman thing) who actually also gets creep? I just don't get it because Dark Procession has never gotten me ONE creep, but Roit keeps mentioning this.

Thanks everyone for helping or attempting to help me understand!

It's the opposite. Those playing AGAINST those champs will have a reduced CS score from not getting credit for killing their summons like plants, tentacles, voidlings etc. You still get credit if those summons kill minions

With how easy voidlings die now it makes sense so I'm not getting an extra 3 CS per wave when laning against a malz

You're thinking about CS backwards. These champions were generating objects that would artificially inflate CS of their opponents. So it's the opponents that will be getting lower CS than before, not the people playing these champs themselves.
