Rito, why do you allow Yorick to exist?

I just rolled him in an ARAM and I'm pretty sure it just ruined my whole day. It was the most soul crushingly boring excuse for a "video game experience" possible. I was much happier having forgotten that he exists.

He should be first in line for a remake. WTF happened to that?

Maybe if Riot would make the Crazy Cat Lady skin for him... Cat's are funny...

He's not the worst champ out there but yeah, his kit has a lot of potential to be fun and unique but... just isn't...

He's not weak or anything. He just makes me really depressed.

I agree he doesn't really fare too good in aram, but he is a real good melee champ counter as a top laner, although I too agree his moves are a bit as boring as Ryze.

Actually it was an easy win.

He is in line for a rework, last I checked.

Clearly you have never been bothered by mid game nuke Sion or late game invincible hyper carry Sion.

Not saying you're wrong, just, you know, there are other problematic champions that are either far more unhealthy for the game or far easier to fix.

Gangplank Urgot Poppy , to name a few.

I hated AP Sion. It was a good runner up for "most degenerate thing that has ever existed in this game" although the 4 second stun Kayle probably owns that title solidly.

I liked AD Sion because he had to autoattack people despite being immobile and having a short range on his stun. He was never invincible because he was very easily kited and worn down. As a result his item choices had to be adapted to the match to get him the tools that he needed and he had to enter teamfights with smart timing.

EDIT: The difference between Yorick and those champs is that Yorick is not fun to play as. He gives you very few decision points. Those champs might be toxic in some ways but at least playing them isn't boring. Yorick is toxic to both the player and the opponent. That's a pretty big failure.

It is a big failure, my point is that there are other failures as well who are worse from a balance standpoint, which is huge when you consider League of Legends is trying to be a competitive game, and failures that are simply far easier to fix, which as a business, Riot would tend towards.

... i actually like to play yorick. its relaxing to stomp over my lane opponent, especially because they dont know jack about yorick.
