Previous Yorick Rework Proposed by Rioter

Rioter Xelnath was using player feedback to rework Yorick after reworking Xerath, and his proposed kit actually looked pretty damn good.

Passive: Expiration Date

• Yorick's summons a spectral ghoul every 30 seconds, reduced by 2 seconds whenever Yorick lands an attack. Ghouls have 25% of his health and 10% of his total attack damage. If Yorick controls more than 3 ghouls, they will slowly lose health over time until only 3 ghouls remain.
• Yorick's ghouls guard him by default, following him around and attacking nearby enemies (prioritizing his attack target). While Yorick has at least one ghoul guarding him, he will take 20% reduced damage that is shared among ghouls that are guarding him. Yorick can command his ghouls to do other actions using his abilities.

Q: Shovel Sweep

• Yorick cleaves all enemies in front of him with his shovel, dealing (+AD) physical damage. If any ghouls are alive when cast, they will also cleave in an area around them, dealing 20% of that damage. The damage areas will stack.
• If a champion or large jungle monster is slain within 2 seconds of being struck by this ability, Yorick will instantly revive a spectral ghoul.

W: Pestilent Ichor

• Yorick lobs a glob of corpse rot at the target location, dealing (+AD) physical damage to all enemies in an area and slowing them for 1.5 seconds.
• Ghouls hit by the corpse rot will become explosive ghouls and will rush toward the nearest enemy champion, exploding upon contact and dealing (+AD) physical damage and slowing nearby enemies.

E: Mark of the Soil

• Yorick flings gravesoil at a target, dealing (+AP) magic damage, marking them for 10 seconds. If a spectral ghoul is guarding Yorick, he will turn one into a ravenous ghoul.
• All ravenous ghouls become enraged and attack the marked target for up to 10 seconds. Enraged ghouls have bonus attack speed and store a percentage of their damage dealt. Reactivating this ability makes the enraged ghouls return to Yorick, healing him for all of the damage stored.

Ultimate: Embrace the Inevitable

• Yorick opens a grave in the earth, summoning 5 ghouls at the target location. While those ghouls are alive, Yorick can re-activate Embrace the Inevitable to move command the army.
