Shouldn't Yorick be a JUGGERNAUT?

Beside being neglected, I think Yorick fits the description if a juggernaut. Almost no cc, low mobility, low range and some damage?

What you guys think? Maybe he came be reworked so he is a little like Pain in Naruto. His summoned ghouls are actually his dead friends and have unique skills or interactions.

What I mean is, give the ghouls some personality.

yes.

and hes not been reworked with the other 4, because riot said they wanted to give him a large scale rework. VU and gameplay update.

those naturally take longer.

garen, darius, skarner and morde barely needed any new visual assets with their changes, as their kits almost entirely stayed the same as animations go.

i think yoricks rework is gonna turn him almost into a different champion. his model/animations and most of his kit. his ult will probably stay the same though.

Completely changing one champion into a completely different one is against what Riot likes to do with champion reworks. I've done a rework concept that a lot of people liked (sadly I don't have a link) that would be good for both keeping what currently makes him fun to play while removing what makes him obnoxious to play against. basically, weaker versions of his 3 current ghouls were on his passive, spawned by gravestones which have a 1 second animation to the spawning, which can be interrupted (adds counterplay, reduces toxicity). The Q shoots a little beam from his eyes with a brief delay (something like Lucian's Q delay length), damaging all enemies in the line and stunning the first. The W surrounds him with 3 layers of ghouls that block basic attacks and abilities. The E shoots ghouls out in a line, random as to which ones are fired, that deal damage to the first enemy hit and applies the ghoul's effect to the enemies they hit. The ultimate only had changed that it instantly summons ghouls from any graves within a range of the ally's ghost.

Riot does need to rework him (and I think they're planning on it.) Yorick is only underplayed because he's been left out of the free rotation, and that's only because his current kit is extremely toxic. I've done a rework concept that would be much better than the current one (sorry I don't have a link) but I do hope they rework him soon.

I'd personally want him to become a warlock/necromancer. A puppet master for the undead.

Would be cool if he had to choose a ghoul pet (from multiple options) at the start of the game which would permanently follow him. The choice would impact his gameplay style greatly. For example you could chooce a juggernaut ghoul, a marksman ghoul or a caster ghoul which all serve different strategic purposes and could be controlled through Yoric's abilities.

he does take a gigantic crap on teemo though, which i do appreciate.
