tl;dr Casting Yorick's W ability should function as it did on release, like Orianna's Q. Current W mechanic punishes Yorick and his team too much for just barely miss-positioning, and it breaks Flash-W and W-Flash.

In Patch 6.20 Yorick's W was changed so that his W, Dark Procession, always casts at max range if the player attempts to use the spell outside of its max range. This actually hurt the spell's usability more than it helped. Similar to Orianna's Q, Command: Attack, proper positioning with Yorick's Dark Procession is absolutely key to playing the champion correctly. Even more so than his Q, Last Rites, Yorick's Dark Procession is his bread and butter ability. It's how he forces fights or escapes ganks in lane. It allows him to control choke points in the jungle, and it's how he adds utility to teamfights as a CC-less top laner. The current mechanic severely hinders the reliability of a spell which already offers a lot of counterplay to the opponent. Furthermore, W-Flash is no longer possible and Flash-W is broken as the W will cast at the max range Yorick was pre-flash rather than updating to his new position post flash.
