... there's Mordekaiser.

Yeah, you probably didn't expect such an ending to very known pun about Yorick, the champion deemed to have literally no counters. Either he turns someone's top lane into living hell, or he will farm lane against Chogath , because he is probably the only champion that can't be outharassed by Yorick . Or is there somebody else?

I just had a privilage of playing Mordekaiser against Yorick. He couldn't outtrade me by any means. I went out victorious from any "trade" we had (although I would call those trades mini two-man teamfights, because of how long they sometimes took), and sometimes it resulted in nearly killing him. So, what exactly make Mordekaiser good against Yorick:

  1. His shield. It negates a lot of Yorick 's damage.
  2. Being manaless. Yorick 's biggest problem is mana. Mordekaiser has none of it, he can spam his spells endlessly. I was able to burn Yorick 's entile mana pool in 2-3 trades.
  3. The biggest factor that makes Mordekaiser the counter: Yorick 's ghouls, for the sake of W heal, are counted as champions. Mordekaiser gets full W heal from ghouls! By spamming his abilities, Yorick provided me with pretty much free sustain. That's what made me able to outtrade him, by maxing W, my passive shield and W heal made me able to pretty much nullify Yorick 's damage, completely burn his mana pool and even be able to pick few kills on him.

So whenever you see someone pick Yorick and you happen to own Mordekaiser , don't hesitate, pick him and enjoy peacefull top lane which otherwise could have been a living hell for you.

Hush! One does not talk about Yorick or someone might remember him!

I actually fought him in lane today. Until around level 4-7 is when you can trade with him. The W healing is ridiculous on his ghouls. It got to the point where he couldn't trade with me anymore, and took my harass like the enslaved soul he was ought to be. My score wasn't very good because I was fairly new to beating Yorick and Lee Sin. It was that match I realized Morde's drag is insanely epic and the tankiness is UNREAL.

I'd pick Morde into Yorick anyday...
