And I am not asking for a list of champions without any explanation behind them. Those comments are just spam, especially for people who don't play or understand those champions. I'm looking for tips, tricks, strategies, and possible items that counter him.
Beldair1 votesBest option is kite him.
But if melee, stay on the move and only go all in when he is out of mana or his abilities are on CD.
I took out a Yorick as Kled by going all in, dashing when I see him trying to use his wall, and backing off when I see their jungler or he's knocked me off Skaarl.
Handy Sandy 1 votesHe's not that strong without his ultimate, kill either it or him if he sends it to splitpush.
JafarThePanda1 votesnot listening to you and pointing out one of his biggest counters, which requires zero explanation.
and the ability to double dash.
That's it. You can even be overkill and rush 
or 
first back.
Woodakoodashooda1 votesI don't play Renekton. I've never gotten the hang of him. And I've used Executioner's, Ignite, and Ultimate on him all at once, but Yorick just tanks it even when under my turret.
Ralanr1 votesHe's a lot weaker without his minions. Engage him when he has little to no graves and no ghouls. Disengage when he brings them out.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteswell he is a sustain champ that has good damage... and pushes... so you need a champ to counter that
i have found success beating him with 
they have damage reduction can cc him and sustain as much as he does
is also good with is silence to stop 
from spamming spells his natural counter to push back and he heals and has massive sustain... and he does true damage making go more hp and less damage limiting some of his damage also inst really mobile so you can land Q easily
but that is me
Unstoppable Monk1 votes can be a good pick to be strong if played correctly, but I wouldn't recommend counterpicking as him top lane unless you're taking smite because 
is way more potent to deal with him as long as you ward your jungle at 6. might look like a counter, but its more of a skill matchup just like .
They do look like they counter, but they really just make 
inefficient and counter just that particular build.
with a jungler camping for him is pretty bad for Yorick.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votesTrundle straight up beats yorick. He heals from yoricks ghouls dying and from minions dying. He can use q to reduce yorick empowered autos and out trade him by taking his ad. His pillar sets up ganks or disengages. Yorick has no escape. Trundle ult steals yorick stats making him easier to kill and making trundle tankier. Trundle is a great duelist and tanky bruiser items like iceborn favor him

Yorick has no escape.

JustMonika131 votesYasuo will make Yorick's life hell pre-6, and, if properly fed or the Yorick gets a little too cocky, will make his life hell post-6. Yorick's minions are easy targets for dashing, Yasuo can dash out of the wall if a target is close enough to do so, and windwall will block Yorick's E so no getting marked and jumped on by the ghouls and the Maiden. Of course, the maiden is a huge source of damage and is not blockable by windwall, and Yorick's Q+Sheen still chunks like no tomorrow, but most Yasuos probably wouldn't even let him get close if the Maiden targets him.
Swain outsustains Yorick in trades, especially post-6.
Renekton has two dashes and his godly early game damage and sustain.
Rumble clears minion waves (Aka: pets as well) well enough, and engaging on Rumble means taking Flamespitter to the face.
Mobile ranged tops like Vayne, Quinn, Graves, Kennen, will kite him to hell and back.
Ignite and Exec's calling can null the sustain given to him from Q, Ghouls, and Maiden. Hexdrinker would control the damage dealt from the Maiden and Passive max health % magic damage from Yorick attacking the same target as her.
Unstoppable Monk1 votesHigh sustained damage that can reach him is always a problem.
Try to avoid picking your main into a Yorick.
