I really need help against Yorick

Watch for his graves he gets for last-hitting with q. When he's one away from being able to q a minion and raise his ghouls, that's when you want to play safe. His goal is to raise them, land his ranged slow to make them target you, and lock you in place. If you deny him this, he's much weaker. If you dodge the slow so they don't auto target you, his ghouls die to a single aa; however, they are hella tanky vs aoe. Don't fight them in a minion wave because it's hard to aa them in the creep wave; you end up hitting minions instead and tanking a ton of free damage - kite out of minion wave, then kill them first. Kill yorick later - unless you can kill him with a single combo. When he ults, it's best just to back off as his ult does a lot of ranged damage to you and buffs yorick's aa's on you while giving him ghouls or whatever they're called now. Try to clear it when it reaches and focuses your tower if you are healthy enough.

Champs with mobility to dash through or over terrain are good vs yorick since he can't lock you into place with his wall. Other than that, it's basically knowing your champ's strengths in trades and his strengths - and only taking fights that play to your champ's strengths.

Poppy is ok against him early and can kill him if you are the better player and know the matchup better than the yorick player. Your q does great early damage and your e let's you stun him and dash out of his wall/pit/circle thing. Darius is a horrible pick vs yorick because his wall let's him kite you nicely, your only sustain is your q which his wall and slow can make really hard to land, and his ult and ghouls do a lot of damage to you while remaining difficult to deal with. Renekton is okay to play into yorick so long as you are careful with your dashes - making sure to not waste them and get stuck in his wall since your dash is on a long cd and you are basically in the same boat as darius w/o them up. Gnar would probably be pretty good since you have ranged harass, a slow, and strong melee all-in once you get him to half hp or lower. Between the range and your hop you should be slippery enough to avoid getting locked down by him and chunked by his ghouls. By the same token as gnar, jayce is probably good vs him in lane; however, you need to be GOOD at jayce. And if you are asking how to deal with yorick, chances are you aren't good enough on jayce to punish a lot of yorick players. And that's ok - I know I'm not good enough with jayce to do so either. Akali would be a decent pick too once you get your gunblade. She's very strong with burst damage, dashes, stealth to avoid yorick's damage when you want to wait out his ult or ghouls for a bit and has good sustain with gunblade and her passive. Again though, she's someone that takes awhile to learn. Aatrox should be good into him. I think illaoi can avoid getting all-inned by yorick as long as she has her ult too. She also would have good harass on him with her q while keeping herself healthy. And yorick doesn't have the easiest time dodging her spells.

let him push you in, he is jungle bait.

at 6 the maiden cheats the game like ulti. respect the power spike.

play like he is nasus. you see him Q, go in for a trade. he is going to be Q'ing the wave for ghouls most the time.

generally speaking, picking a fighter isnt bad into him. but tanks just dont work IMO ( although that maybe a me thing )

Highly recommend an early Excecutioner's Calling if you're playing an AD top. He doubles his sustain when below half health, so you won't really win trades at that point. The only recourse is make his sustain cost twice the amount of Qing, or just burst him down in that time. He's hard to win against solo, but just making quick trades is your best bet. Try to avoid letting him proc Grasp on you as well. It causes huge health swings in the lane.

As a Yorick Main. I can tell you he needs his ghouls up to fight or his ult. Also he is farm reliant because he needs to land his Q's to get ghouls. He can actually poke hard at times with his Q if he has Sheen and grasp up. in the mid game his + Q hurts like a motherfucker.

His biggest weakness his is cycle of power and champs that can dance around him such as and or champs that like to all in him such as and . However if he Yorick player is good with skillshots and walls, he will be a lot harder to deal with because his all can screw over people if timed correctly even cause a champ with a dash to go into his wall and get traped.

Learn to time his ghoul risings, and don't be close to him when they're about to happen. He needs at least 3 graves to rise ghouls, and he can only raise them if he's just used his Q (or if he ults). Kite away from the ghouls and kill them and then push again.

It's a lot like fighting - you probably know to run away and fight the voidlings when he makes them - is the same way, he needs the ghouls or the Maiden to be strong.

One does not simply defeat the Ghost man.
