ITS A GRILL

Communist Toast11 votes

I always though Yorick was supposed to be dark looking. isn't he like a grave robber?

it literally looks like they took the Taric model and just changed a few things and added a hood now

Khadaver5 votes

I'm sad that it's not as dark and ugly as he is right now but it's not that bad. Also, i think he is a dead gravedigger.

He's a gravedigger, as in he digs the graves to put the dead people in. From womb to tomb, he was a gravedigger on the Shadow Isles, descended from a family of gravediggers, and died without having children.

right, gravedigger. the hassles of digging graves of people, so much that he got a hunchback. now they make him look like something else

That's not how you develop a hunchback. If anything, you'll strain your back if you dig with a bad posture, but even that doesn't lead to hunchback. Hunchback is caused by tumors in or near the spine and lots of radiation in the upper body; basically nothing you can do to yourself in real life will develop a hunchback. If he still has the whole "family of gravediggers" origin, they probably have the best information about proper grave digging technique in all of Runeterra. It is strenuous work, though; the calories fly off fast doing it.

What did you expect, though? His anatomy was just god awful in its old form. Now he looks much better. With his sharp beard, hooded stony face and perpetually grim expression, no matter how "good" he looks now, he now looks very spooky. He's one of the last faces you'll want to turn around to see in a dark rainy graveyard, cue dramatic lightning.

I guess we just have different opinions of spooky. I would be scared running into a yorick looking person right now.

the new yorick, not so much

Lost R2 votes

The spooky comes from him towering over you with the very grim expression and his overall dark and pale blue appearance.

blue isn't spooky though. blue is a very calm color

Old Yorick wasn't spooky, this Yorick won't be spooky either. Yorick is just a guy who buries stuff because he got burdened to it and has nothing else to do.

New Yorick looks like a Disney Villain. Especially with the Evil Beard

Karakot1 votes

according to a rioter, he dislikes shadow asile people, so maybe that's kinda the reason?

Lost R4 votes

With the other Shadow Islanders, they are clearly malevolent and evil just by looking at them; it's worn on their sleeve. Yorick doesn't have any noticeable malice about him, which makes him all the spookier, in my opinion. He's a tall guy with a glowing eyes, a grim expression, massive build and he's fucking GLOWING. All that aside, he looks more normal than anyone else from the Shadow Isles. The relative normalcy makes him all the creepier.

Like I said, imagine if you turned around to see him bearing down on you. With the others, you know you're fucked just by looking at them. Based on Yorick's expression, you'd be hard pressed to get a read on him, and that unknown sparks fear. He could just say "Stay warm. It's cold out tonight." in a deadpan tone and trundle on past you into the dark and still come off as very spooky.

Yorick isn't a bad guy, he is just a lost soul.

Meep Man2 votes

I don't think Yorick himself is what's supposed to be spooky about him. I think what's wiggling around on the ground and biting at your leg is what's supposed to be spooky.

KoKoboto1 votes

And he only does that if he knows you're a bad mama.

Read his lore, he is a lot like Maokai in that he has to do with the island, but isn't an apparition of evil (he's still human). Think a Shadow Isles Illaoi

AFK Push1 votes

the symbolism of blue can mean a variety of things: you can relate it to being calm as in the ocean, water, sexual, depression etc. The fact of the matter is that it and green are the main colors of the shadow isle champs, and blue can be a down in the dumps kind of color which suits him.

I'm glad other people are thinking of Yorick like this too kappa

AFK Push2 votes

No kappa here.

Nilok2 votes

Honestly, Yorick should be one of the least spooky of the Shadow Isle champions. Sure, he is undead, but from what I can gather about the new lore, he is directly opposed to Mordekaiser, his plans and plots, and Thresh, possibly all the others save for Kalista and Lucian. Yorick seems to be effectively the least corrupt.

EvilUnicornLord1 votes

Not really directly opposed, just uncaring.

Nilok1 votes

Those two are specifically trapping souls. What does Yorick do?

The only one new Yorick hates more is the Ruined King.

Meep Man2 votes

As I said below, you need to look at what is behind Yorick if you want spooky.

in the gif? you mean those dancing zombie/ghoul things? didn't really get a good look at them. but eh. I don't care about his ghouls. they are ghouls, of course they are supposed to be spooky. Yorick is the main concern. I don't need him looking like Taric's long lost brother

It doesn't do much for tragedies sake.

a pitiful and grotesque gravedigger who commands the respect of terrifying spirits.

That is were shit your pants element should come in.

That is not a hunchback. That's his neck being located on top of his diaphragm.

he still hunches, a rioter already said that that's his idle animation where he props himself up with his shovel

lol, a rioter said. you can tell he doesn't hunch at nearly anything. if he does hunch it will be like you looking through the fridge finding food type of hunch

Karakot1 votes

oui, I'm just saying what I read please don't criticize me for what I saw

Azteryz1 votes

they said he stilll has a hunchback

this is his idle pose which he uses the shovel to stand properly and show everyone his pride

in all honesty the green messy unclean hunchback was more realistic than this new fit clean muscular model-looking blue dude. My 2 cents.

Then you know nothing about the human anatomy.

Watch him run around with his shovel like Taric does with his hammer

Meep Man3 votes

I'm pretty sure they said him standing up straight is an idle since he is holding himself up with the shovel. He is likely walking with a bit of a slouch due to that giant chunk of stone on his back.

Yorick is gay. Apparently, he digs Graves. Kappa*[zombie-brand-facepalm]*

JackMcSnipeyz2 votes

I think riot said that him standing up is just hid idle animation and his using the shovel for balance, while in game he is hunched back by w/e he is carrying on his back.

Also, current yorick looks like an ugly fish, not spooky, not scary, just ugly, just like old sion (and people still complain about it)
