pic is just so you can't go "well big stinkin you must just be a bad yorick"

i don't understand how anyone likes this champ. he is so utterly monotonous. all I did this game after getting ganked and ganked and 3-manned at stupidly early points in the game, it was just pushing and farming and pushing and farming

come late game the majority of my work was either in making picks for Lux to blow up or sitting in base alone and fighting 3 waves of supers. i was actually surprised I did the 2nd most damage; i thought i was doing peanut damage all game.

i feel emotionally drained playing this champ. even worse cus this dumb pos ashe AFK'd as soon as the deadline for recall expired, making me have to drag it out into a 50 minute ordeal (im glad we don't have a safe-to-leave system for AFKs like dota, thanks riot)

what's the secret to making this shit champ enjoyable

Fun is subjective.

I assume fans of Nasus are also fans of Yorick, to each their own.

Enjoying the thematic and gameplay elements of the champion.

ah yes, the strong thematic of the mobile zz'rot

You have the communication between Yorick and Maiden, the music that plays when she arrives, the atmosphere Yorick creates, with the preparation of graves, and the raising of minions, and the unique game-play elements of his W, as well as the interaction with his passive and his E, rewarding you for hitting the strangest skillshot in the game.

Lol. Yorick is "fun" now, guys! Said no one ever. Fuck this shitty rework. He's even worse than he was before. The only difference now is that he's not even fun at all.

He wasn't fun before and he isn't now, but at least he is a little more spectacular and his kit is oriented to splipushing.

Being a Juggernaut with retarded damage, sustain, and tankiness and slowly moving towards the enemy ADC, knowing that if you can land your Q on them that they- and the rest of their team- are completely fucked? Being in the middle of a big teamfight while constantly summoning ghouls that give you movement speed, CC, and sustain to help you thrive, while at the same time bashing someone's face in with a shovel isn't fun? He was one of the most exciting champions to play for me, and for a lot of other people I know, too.

what's the secret to making this shit champ enjoyable

  • get a double kill when the enemy jungler attempts a gank, because he underestimates your early power
  • win an all in around lvl 6, take the enemy turret before he respawns and gets back to lane.
  • solo rift herald, unleash hell on your lane.
  • make roams and take drake or other jungle objectives stupidly fast with your ult. recall and tp back to lane with your maiden in tow, since she recalls/tps with you and heals up in the fountain, when she doesnt push lane by her own.
  • generally use your ability to push to buy time to make plays around the map. you push out a lane extremely fast, roam. get back to catch the wave, rinse repeat. participate in a lot of skirmishes.
  • combo your w with a mage like Velkoz to anihilate an enemy team.

buy item 3512 and refer to point 3.

Just get item 3078 item 3047 (or item 3111) item 3742 item 3748 item 3065 item 3156

then you destroy them.

walk at them menacingly but don't actually get much accomplished by yourself*

Well a minionmancer is kinda held by their minions.

Split pushing and sicking a minion army on someone coming to 1v1 you is what makes him enjoyable.

He's kinda feels like a less damage focused Nasus to me, but that might be because of the Q spam to get minions.

Big Lincoln1 votes

he doesn't have enough minions for me to call him the minion army man

he needs to have like at least 8 or 10 ghouls be able to summon late game, then he would be good

maybe 20

DrCyanide1 votes

He can summon 8. 4 normally, then another 4 whenever his ult spawns.

His minions damage scaling depends on HIS damage, if you start item 3078 and/or item 3071 those little bastards will tear anyone apart

You can't split-push and then claim that the champion you were playing is bad and/or unfun to play.

Big Lincoln1 votes

Illaoi splitpushes hard and she's a blast

Unpaladin1 votes

He's a more passive, sturdy type of splitpusher with a excellent thematic. He's very capable at getting into fights for a juggernaut, he does well with a lead and his W is highly underrated for what it provides in general use. His interactions with other champions in lane and his objective seizing capability are unique, making him a fun pick for when you're not trying to rip someone's face off but rather get the game going in your favor.

Splitpushing isn't always a massive success, and it seems like you were expecting something from a champion you just don't have a feel for. If you're falling asleep pushing waves and putting pressure on the map I can't imagine what it's like when you play Nasus.

He is fun, nothing like getting a squishy trapped in your walls and having your ghouls maul them while they panic. Just because you dont like him doesnt mean he's not fun, he definitely is better than before and certainly is fun to play.
