Dear Riot, Yorick is an independent man with his own shopping list.

Please let him for himself decide if he doesnt want an item. He shouldnt need his nagging wife's Maiden's approval.

Something I noticed earlier today was that Yorick can't undo a purchase if the Maiden is pushing down a lane across the map, presumably because he's still marked as in-combat. It'd be nice if this could get fixed.

Sounds annoying to play as, but I think it shouldnt be "fixed" because the maidens damage scales with AD so he could just buy full AD items, let her push till she dies and buy normal items again.... maybe

You would waste so much time doing that it's not even funny.

And money.

not with undo button which is probably why he can't do it

Ralanr2 votes

Right, forgot about that.

Time is money.

You could use the time to cs and get kills.

It's ok your bottom bitch maiden will earn you some cash while you pimpin chilling with your ho's Ghoul buddies

Don't inject economics into this thread. It's only what the game is built and balanced around... Shame on you.

I'm not sure if the maiden dies when Yorick dies, but in Annie's case, when Annie dies she can buy items while dead to increase Tibbers damage. So in case the Maiden remains alive when Yorick is alive this would actually be worth doing if you have a 30-40 second death timer anyway.

And I assume this works the same for all summons so if they changed it for Yorick it'd be changed for Annie as well. though I'm only assuming here.

She does.

A bit off-topic, but it took me some time to read your nickname correctly. At first I was like "WTF, how is this guy allowed to have his account called Pe*is".

i've seen someone's summoner name be "tiny penis" before. (or maybe it was "small penis," either way, it was along those lines) it seems like it's either allowed, or that guy just wasn't reported enough yet.

Back in time mine was "Uselessasf ck". Too bad when I got out of bronze I was forced to change it

The easy fix for that is make it so no stats are checked for the maiden after cast.

That way if Yorick uses his ult and goes back to buy, the maiden can't be made any stronger than she was on cast (pretty sure this is already how it's supposed to function). If that is the case, buying any item will have zero impact on the maiden's combat power and he should be allowed to buy and undo purchases without any interference.

Sort of like how Teemo used to get flagged in combat while shopping if a shroom went off and couldn't undo purchases, same issue, same solution.

Penns2 votes

Makes sense but then for example Janna shielding him wouldnt give his ult more damage tho :o

Battlecast Sona2 votes

if she shielded him before he used it it would. It would take a snapshot when you cast the spell, so...

Shinjusuke1 votes

This would be quite bollucks as I've often successfully had maiden alive for 5-10 minutes straight before.

TequilaZombie1 votes

Simple fix: Maiden's damage is calculated when she spawns.

Looknook1 votes

But Karthus can do this with his ult.

Shadòw1 votes

Simple fix for this:

code the Maiden in a way that she has a fixed amount of Damage on cast that doesn't change when Yorick buys Items.

I'm pretty sure I saw you can't undo a purchase if you do something that affects the game while/after you buy an item.

I don't know about you but personally I found borderlands to be enjoyable and tell a story about the decent into madness that was handsome jack. Maybe a little crass but still.

But Maiden and walkers scale with Yorick's stats. So you could abuse it by buying an AD item, letting her take down a turret faster, then udoing the transaction.

Perhaps then items should be coded to not take effect until you leave range of the shop.

rtbf761092713 votes

How is it "abuse" to have your top laner sit afk in spawn for like 30 seconds to a minute or however long it takes to kill a turret. That would be a huge waste of time

Trias0002 votes

What if there's a teamfight going on and Yorick can't get there in time? He could at least buff his Maiden to help as much as he can.

Sozan53 votes

Sorry, but that's there to prevent you buying items just to undo them later. I doubt it will be fixed as it's intended.

And I know your pain, I'm playing Teemo. One shroom = you lose homeguards and ability to undo items. :D

cant mordekaiser shop and have his drag attack someone?

Over Innsmouth2 votes

I'll ask Malicious when I see him next.

Malicious Metal6 votes

He can shop and do undo purchases with Steve just farming a side lane. So yeah, once again we can say that Mordekaiser>Yorick

Over Innsmouth1 votes

Yeah but that's because Steve is borderline retarded and isnt allowed to make shopping choices.

Not since last Christmas at least.

Malicious Metal2 votes

At least Mordekaiser is a responsible parent and still looks after Steve. You inconsiderate Jerk!

Over Innsmouth1 votes

...The Maiden isn't Yorick's daughter. It's his nagging wife.

TeCoolMage1 votes

clearly morde is appealing to the patriarchy and implies that wives are subordinate

This is a sign that the strong independent female champion is the best

Should maybe put this under "report a bug"

Over Innsmouth6 votes

I don't think it's a bug so much as a coding oversight.

Toru Itai2 votes

:X....

Cowseed1 votes

That's exactly as it should be. Since your actually still in combat given the fact your ult is still up and dishing out/recieving damage item purchases have an immediate effect. Meaning the should not be able to be refunded.

D3m37r11 votes

The same thing happens with Nidalee traps and Teemo . It would be nice if riot could change that.
