I Have To Hand It To The Champion Update Team

Although the Yorick "rework" was pretty terrible, there is ONE thing they improved on.

AP Yorick is more viable. Good job, I suppose. Shame you guys didn't make AP Sion viable.

Because he went from being a hyperscaling Juggernaut to a SPLITPUSHER. All of my friends (also including me. I used to main him.) who played him hate him now. They alienated his playerbase, and honestly, it just doesn't feel like Yorick anymore to me, and many other people.

He's still a juggernaut though

Seems like less of one than he used to be. Riot seems to think of Yorick as a splitpusher far more than they do as a Juggernaut, and I'm too afraid to try him out myself.

Yorick is a warden, not a vanguard. He's supposed to hang back and peel like braum. Just because a champion has poor engage doesn't mean they're a splitpusher.

The first thing it says on the rework page is that he's a splitpusher. It doesn't mention anything about being a Juggernaut.

Also, if he actually IS a warden, that's even worse, because he used to be on the frontlines dealing the most damage.

ap sion

ap sion?

dude this is such a garbage post, imo the rework made yorick into a "brain required"

he used to be " summon ghouls, then auto"

Not sure old yorick took skill but.... you need to aim your skillshots as yorick. You get fucked over trades if you miss E.

How do you miss old Yorick E?

It was very possible to miss your W as Old Yorick, and if you missed it, you usually couldn't follow up with your E or Q, which meant no sustain, and no giant movement speed boost that helps you stick to your target. Although, most of the times you could miss your W was in lane. Not to mention, he has many issues, so you REALLY couldn't afford to accidentally waste your W.

You know absolutely nothing about Sion. People used to take him AP all the time. In fact, some people even argued that that was his intended playstyle.

Also, contrary to popular belief, Old Yorick wasn't THAT easy. His Q, W, and E all had different ranges, different cooldowns, different effects, and different ratios. The only thing they did that was similar was summon ghouls, which was THE ENTIRE POINT OF YORICK'S KIT. To summon ghouls. He did what he was supposed to do.

Yorick now is just land your E, trap them with W, and auto attack them to death. It's still very simplistic, really.

Sorry. I probably wasn't being clear enough.

When I said it was a shame they didn't make AP Sion viable, I meant that they gutted his ratios when they reworked him, when they could have easily put in a good AP Ratio for his W and E.

Yaśuo MainSep 12, 20161 votes

well i could see why they'd gut old sion, he was as unfun as yasuo to play against and as strong as a fed Xin x3 Then again, why tf did they not compensate for his AP ratio's in the rework?

as if having a near 200 damage Q level 1 was enough
