WTH Did you do to Yorick

Maulace Grimspit··5 votes·693 views

Okay, so I just want to start by saying that I have been a VERY loyal player since season 1, with over 2400 wins in pub games, and I do my best to continue to be positive in game. I have played long enough to own every rune, and every champion. I personally enjoy playing champions that people tend NOT to play. If for no other reason that I like the variety, and because if you get good with an oddball champ, odds are people wont know what to do with you if you play him well.

Right now I am seriously considering quitting. The reason for this is simple. YOU KEEP SHITTING ALL OVER EVERY CHAMPION THAT I LOVE!.

For Christ's sake stop already. Up until last summer my main tops were darius and morde: you butchered them both. Darius recovered, but honestly I liked morde more and now he's a trash pick. He was unique enough to begin with and didnt need a remake.

Then you did mage patches, and you took a giant dump all over malzahar, doing the exact same thing to the champion I love to play, who was more than unique enough both in kit, and in how often you saw him in game.

Then you did the adc patch, and you crapped all over Kog'maw. While kog WAS played plenty more compared to other champions, he was still more than rare enough, and you new idea of just making everyone stupid fast has made a stationary barrager completely worthless.

Now to the reason I'm writing today of all days. YORICK! I found a very unique, very underplayed champion to replace mordekaiser after u screwed that up. I got good with him for the same passions I listed above. Being good with Yorick is not the same as being good with Yasuo, and trained monkey can own with Yasuo. And once again, you guys shit all over a champion who didnt even need to be touched. I mean ffs is there even another champion in the game right now that summons ghouls, NO. You have azirs soldiers, and heime's turrets, and thats about it. and as if that wasnt bad enough, you made both him, and his kit suck ass. And I dont just mean suck like it's underpowered, its not even original, you literally took the cliche dependance of a nasus Q, and made a shitter version of that, and then made the rest of those spells just as worthless.

I for one am pissed. I would love it if the devs would quit crapping all over every champion that they think is "old". Some of us have been playing this game long enough to appreciate the classics. Take a vote, involve your audience, do something before going and doing crap like this. Also the justification for doing it, them needing to fit the "current state of gameplay" is also complete crap. Yorick was a creeping death champ, he wasnt fast, he wasnt op, he wasnt an epic dmg dealer, and that is your problem...you seem to think they all need to be. As evidenced by this entire shit season you've made where everything gives you crit and movement speed. You just turned this game into a kite and gank fest and made casual play completely fucking miserable.

For the record, this is the first post I've ever made to the forums, thats how pissed I am at this crap. And if you can believe it, I have censored myself immensely compared to how I feel because I dont feel like getting my account banned. Hopefully it is enough.

This was directed at dev's specifically. If you're not one...go find something else to do.

Ye I wish Riot would stop their obsession over making every champion locked/forced into a certain "niche"

And on that note...


RIP Malzahar

4-5% Playrate ~53% Winrate

Reworked into

~3% Playrate ~49-50% Winrate Hated by the community.

Thanks Rito...

Yorick's kit was boring, uneventful, unfun to play as and against and generally ineffective in both a solo queue and competitive environment. Just because you enjoyed his old design doesn't mean he wasn't a lackluster champion. It's anecdotal at best and you should be happy that Yorick's skill cap has been increased significantly in the update. If you truly love a champion, you'll enjoy their changes rather than complaining about everything being different.

Thats the dumbest heap of dribble I ever heard. The kit IS the champ, if you screw with that, it becomes completely different, they're not the same champ. I didn't play him for his looks, I played him for his kit. He's so far removed from his origins they might as well have just made a new damn champion.

That is why they call it a full rework. did you even notice they changed his lore completely, so yes the point is to make him a new champ, but i guess since my opinion is different than your, i guess its dribble

Yes I noticed they even changed his lore, which at that point begs the question, with new skins, new splash art, new spells, new stats, new mechanics, AND new lore. How hard would it be to give it a new name and let those who did actually enjoy the champ the way we was continue to have him. I mean they literally just added a new champion and deleted an old one so they could take the name. Thats just a waste.

Okay then. Let me be frank with the fact that old Yorick was outdated and sucked super hard. That's why they reworked him, to replace a shitty champ with something that's actually good.

Hes been out for less than 3 days, unless you have played him for every single game and have mastered him, you need to calm down.

read the first half and skimmed through the rest. I saw your arguments were basically that all of your favorite champions were incredibly underplayed and rare to see, and somehow that was a good thing? obviously if a champion sees very little play, riot is going to try to change them to make them more enjoyable for a wider variety of people.

Just play Dota 2 instead. Heroes are actually allowed to be simple, but effective and with very little mechanical counterplay because of the design choices in that game.
