AoE is too effective against Mist Walkers

Can they take % less damage from AoE please? Or scale with his resistances? He is such a cool champion but his Mist Walkers are just too squishy for a champ that builds almost full tank. The enemy should fear the Mist, not auto them once or press Q and they're gone.

Just... no. They easily hide in the minion wave. A darius q or renekton q SHOULD delete them, instead, it does half their hp or LESS. They deal a crap ton of damage. If anything, yorick's kit is overloaded. %damage, free aa worth of damage or more every time mistwalkers hit enemy. Q deals bonus damage AND sustains and you have grasp proc too probably. Ult deals high %hp damage to enemy yorick hits, spawns endless waves of mistwalkers and deals massive tower damage. Oh, and ult deals %hp MAGIC DAMAGE while yorick deals physical damage. This means his opponents cannot really itemize against the magic damage early because then yorick and mistwalkers deal more damage. If anything, he needs some sustain or damage removed from his kit - and mistwalkers need to be targetable - if they stand next to a minion because they are so small, you basically have to kill the minion first. Yorick is literally a nightmare for darius if played properly.

I've really only had this issue with Rumble, Darius, Garen, and Singed to be honest. Every other Top Lane champion isn't a huge issue until later in the game, upon which I usually have enough health to where my Mist Walkers can take at least 1 decent AoE ability and survive. Only big issues usually come from people like Ziggs, Viktor, and maybe a couple other fed Mages in Middle Lane, but every champion has a few downsides that put them at a disadvantage against certain champions so I find that ok since AoE damage is kind of Ziggs and Viktor's niches and they deserve to be able to express their niche while I can simply focus someone else if fighting them is too hard. My only complaint as far as Mist Walker survivability is really the Runnan's Hurricane interaction where the bolts 1-shot them. If I would buff Mist Walkers survivability-wise, it would be to remove that interaction and maybe make tower shots take more than one shot to kill them past a certain level (maybe 2 shots after Level 13).

I don't understand why they didnt take a cue from Blizzard already. Most pets and minions in their game take reduced damage from AoE skills. Logic: They are unable to dodge AoEs, it only makes sense that they take reduced damage from them to make up for it..

Would it make sense to nerf Mist Walker damage but give them CC? I think that would allow them to have more defensive stats. To make up for the loss of damage, it should be put on Yorick to do extra damage with Q if the enemy has been damaged by a Mist Walker or something.

I don't know why they're not more tanky, but if it's because they do too much damage, I think this is a way to solve the frustration while playing Yorick. Would definitely need to hear from someone who plays more Yorick, though.

Fine, but nerf their damage by A LOT, because the damage they deal is insane.

they actually explicitly made mist walkers AND voidlings die in one hit to balance their overwhelming nature they arent going to change that
