@Riot care to share any thoughts on The state of Yorick? & Some points about his ghouls

So what do you think, its been a little while after the rework, is he performing as intended?

Personally i've got a few skeletons left unhurried about his rework.

Basically 2 things really He feels weak, even though he is not necessarily weak, two of his big strengths are too easily countered

His ghouls His maiden

My main issue with his ghouls is that they do apply good damage and feel strong enough overall but, they die so easily and this is a problem considering they take up a decent amount of Yoricks power budget. My main issue is that they die too easily to aoe damage in general

For example when laning vs she just buys / and ghouls are suddenly a non factor Vs well he uses his abilties and pretty much demolishes them and later with or or both the ghouls just suicide very quickly and are again a nonfactor

For such an important part of Yoricks damage output they are way too easy to deal with leaving an already conditional damage output which is also a major part of yoricks window of power gone

Pretty much any champion has acces to 1 or more items and abilties which let them turn ghouls into non factors, in the early game this isn't a big deal yet but this changes quickly as the game progresses

In team fights they pretty much die right away, well most of them anyway

The other issue left is his maiden

the ai sometimes is well, cringy If it targets an enemy champion all that champion has to do is walk to his tower and the maiden just suicides. The same happens when the maiden splitpushes

for something with such a high cooldown this is unacceptable

she is not a threat at all unless she is fighting with yorick

She should at least be a splitpush threat though, if left untouched.

Possible solutions

So perhaps both maiden and yoricks ghouls could benefit from yoricks health regeneration, this would make them just as easy to quickly burst down but would make it harder for them to die to lower amounts of constant aoe damage. Like

I mean whenever i see an enemy pick i lock in and then build and try to catch every E possible

His ghouls are not exactly tanky since they don't have much health and have no resistances making it way to easy to kill them without giving it much attention by simply having access to an aoe skill you would use anyways in a trade or fight or by building an item you would build regardless

In addition maiden could be a lower priority target for enemy towers so first the cannon minion would be targeted then the mist walkers then the minions and then the maiden Another thing could be done instead is that she would simply retreat to the next minion wave or yorick if she loses 40% of her max health to a tower

This would at turn maiden into a better splitpush threat
