My proposed Yorik champion update

so as a champion Yorick is completely feast or famine in the early either stomping his lane, or getting fucking clapped, builds generally have no variation you get a item 3070 you build manamune and other on hit and tank shit after that, you spam ghouls until your opponent wants to die, then you get ruined for the rest of the game because you picked yorik so for the most part after lane phase your useless, and when you are useful your game play is less exciting than Taric

For starters in my idea i wanted to focus on yorik more as the shovel wielding necromancer a melee caster who scales well with ad and has good interaction with the world around him

passive:pestilence-yorick does 10+2x champion level magic damage in a small AOE around himself working in a similar way to a sunfire cape

Q:Resurrection - Yorick targets one of his own minions killing it for 50% gold and exp, the minion is no revived as a Zombie Minion with higher base damage than normal minions but weaker defensive stats (i haven't quite worked out what would be appropriate numbers for this) Cooldown-10-8-6-4

W:Rot- Yorick casts a toggled medium AOE slow around himself that increases the longer you stand in it up to 80% it has a increasing mana cost the longer its left on

E: Mark of Damnation- Increases the damage dealt by zombie minions by 10%/15%/20%/25% for 6/8/10/15 seconds as well as causing all nearby zombie minions to target the marked target Cooldown-30-20-15-10

R:Necrogate- yorik spawns a portal similar to item 3512 with in 24 seconds of its being spawned the necrogate will have produced 3 zombie minion waves as well as offering bonuses based on the current level of the ability level 1: zombie minions gain move speed based on there distance from the nearest enemy champion(the closer they are the faster the zombies move) level 2: zombie minions gain 20% lifesteal which can increase to 30% on the marked target level 3: zombie minions gain 10% of yoriks bonus health as well as 10% of yoricks armor and magic resistance

overall i think this update would make yorick far more interactive and strategy based as a charactor essentially allowing the yorick player to command a small army of zombies that he may sick on his enemy i hope you guys like my ideas please leave me any feedback you guys may have

I really like the idea of being to kill and reanimate your own minions but that ability has huge implications. Even at a 10 second cool down that means you could deny your opponent 6 cs per minute, allowing you to get a commanding gold lead.

What you could do is have it apply a DoT to your minion and if that minion dies while under the effect of the DoT the minion reanimates. Furthermore, if the Dot deals the killing blow you get the full gold and exp. This allows for some counterplay rather than just stealing cs from your opponent.
