It's been 1,800 days since Yorick's release (June 22, 2011). Since then...

  • No new skins released save his classic and two launch skins.
    
  • Taken off free week rotation to prevent promotion
    
  • Called "Riot's biggest mistake" by a vast number of employees.  Openly ridiculed on social media and LCS broadcasts by Riot employees, which has extended to the player base.
    
  • While declared the champ "most in need of a rework," was passed over for Sion, Poppy, Taric and Ryze for... reasons.
    
  • Placed on the upcoming rework list (after nearly four years of waiting), but nothing even resembling possible direction or goals other than "minion master."
    

Other fun facts:

  • SKT mid-laner Lee Sang-hyeok, better known as "Faker," and jungler Bae Seong-ung, better known as "bengi," will have the same amount of skins as Yorick later this year (when his S5 championship skin is released) despite both being competitive players.
    
  • Summoner's Rift has had more skins than Yorick (seasonal skins and the 2014 revamp.)
  • Still obscured by the skins list on his Pentakill splash page, despite it being a known issue for years.

I'll add more "fun facts" if I get some more in the thread.

"You will remember Yorick Mori." Yeah, I'll remember him for being that one champ who received less love than Galio. Hell, it's not "less" love, it's "no" love.

The champ update team better be prepared to give Yorick the 5 years worth of love that he needs. Every member of the Yorick update project needs to get in that bed with Yorick & get to work.

He was not "passed over" for a rework in favor of Ryze, they are independent teams. This has been explained over and over for months.

I guess you could say that Yorick has been buried

Poppy Sion and Taric got theirs over him because people wanted to see those get updated sooner.

What's a Yorick? Is that a new mage item?

At least Yorick really is a known issue and they want to work on him. Meanwhile Shaco Urgot Warwick

Interesting Bug: When Yoricks ult timer reaches 0, he takes large amounts of true damage. On Riots match history, it shows as dealing a heavy amount of true damage and large amounts of true damage taken, on the person he casts it on.

Why not just scrap him and make the new champ called Horick.
