Can we get a nerf for yorick tho?

I understand him being new and all so I'm just reporting what I feel about him.

I utterly destroyed one in lane killed him 5/0 in and then he just built super tanky and with his minions were STILL doing like 1.3k in 1 second to me... Just his minions without his other skills.

And I don't know how everyone else feels but his ultimate summon is waaaaay too tanky as well. Tibbers isn't even close to being as tanky as the Yorick summon.

I just wanna know what you guys think, thanks!

The maiden is kinda week honestly. She does DPS, but it doesn't feel like she does much, to towers yes cause its constant damage rather than minion autos, but to champions that little bit doesn't feel that huge in comparison to Elise's spiderlings, malzahar's voidling, or hell even your ghouls. Combine that with a long cooldown and its not the most useful ultimate.

The only thing good about the maiden is her splitpush, she splitpushes better than a super minion wave and can manage getting an entire tower or two. This is how she should be used.

The wall and Q is what I find ridiculous. The wall I feel needs some bug fixes then it'll feel balanced (what is it's hitbox? can't click the damn thing), and the damage yorick's Q does is insane with a sheen, not even funny. The ghouls should be much easier to kill with AoE abilities, like I've played quinn into them and a Q would only do 25% to all the ghoul's health, but my autos instantly 1 shot from their full hp instead, which feels kinda busted considering how much damage they do and how fast you desperately try to kill them.

Yeah that's how I felt about the minions. They need to be easier to kill. I try to AOE them and it barely does anything. Even autos it take like 2 to kill them. If I cant AOE them and he's got 6 its almost a instant kill cuz I can't stop them. You go in to auto and his minions all jump on you when he casts his other spell, the name I don't remember.

He can only have a max of 4 ghouls at a time and they jump to you when he lands his E.

Yorick would be useless if you can 1 shot his ghouls with an AOE ability, just remember it takes time to get his ghouls and just killing them instantly would make Yorick ghouls useless. I also find Yorick Q to be pretty fine, considering you got champions like Nasus that can literally one shot anyone, if he gets his stacks. The biggest problem with Yorick, is his super weak early game, like it's a joke how weak he is in the early game.

I don't mean one shotting them, but at least two shots or something. They take too long to kill is what it felt like.

He still gets them pretty free however, considering before you do kill 4 of them they deal about 30% of you health bar in the span of killing them, undertower. All it takes to get ghouls is Q for minions like a nasus, E to send 4 at the target, and there goes a ton of the target's health just from low cooldown tricky to kill minions. This isn't like Elise with high mana cost inorder to spawn spiderlings and having to melee trade with spider Q to make them target the opponent, this isn't like malzahar with a high cooldown high mana cost W that only spawns one voidling which spawns more as it hits, but dies quickly to anything before they start spawning, these ghouls are free, consistent, instant, and hard to get rid of compared to other minion based kits. They shouldn't be this strong for how many can instantly pop up, jump you, deal damage, tank tower shots while the other hit you, and how often they can come up with his Q being low everything, they should have the AoE weakness, and yes, the resistance is there for Elise's Spiderlings and I believe Zyra's Plants, but one doesn't trade that stupidly hard with opponents and is still squishier dying to AoE abilities, and the other has a timer to go away and require positioning to actually deal the damage.

Don't underestimate the early game of 4 ghouls going on you after an E, its like calling illaoi's early game weak, but she still bullies the shit out of her lane opponent. If you're a top laner not named pantheon, chances are you're just as bad early game if not worse. Or darius cause, darius...

Excuse my run-off sentence.

I play Yorick, was a main before his rework will remain so afterward, your perception must be off, his ghouls are really quite weak overall, the only thing to know is that if he marks you and summons the walkers just walk away, they do not move fast enough to put any damage on you if you just take them away from Yorick. Next, his E is the only skill you have to not get tagged with, otherwise his walkers will not even look at you. His Ult CAN be powerful, but you have to let it just do damage to you and you stand there and fight, not in your best interest generally. New Yorick is far less powerful than old, I used to always top the damage charts with my build, now I usually end up somewhere in the middle. So. . . . Focus on becomin a bit stronger at understanding how he works and how to play around it. Good luck!
