I like the rework, and yes it is very different, but old Yorick was not even on the map, so I'm not really sad to see him go.

I'm sad to see the theme of old yorick gone... all they kept was his shovel and the idea that he was a summoner. I'm gonna miss the sickly hunchback gravedigger.

"New" Yorick is going to be quite the gameplay change for Yorick:

"Old" Yorick was a fighter who was always in the enemies face, chasing them down without even caring about dying to get a kill or two; additionally he could sit back at times and widdle away enemy HP while healing his own and farming the frontline of minions.

"New" Yorick must now plan over the period of a fight by positioning his **Graves ** properly to get an advantage over his opponents.

From an in your face fighter, to a tactician.

I've never known Riot to mess up so badly

well, you do have to carefully plan spell order: can I get my e off before q, or should I q first to keep the other guy from escaping?

Not really, but it's better than facerolling the keyboard for free kill

W from a distance, Q nearby enemy or them if they're close enough, E when diving or taking hits. Best to slow them down first so you can get close.

inb4 Swain update comes before "Assassin Major Update" all thanks to this single comment.

To be fair, he IS high in the rework list for next year. They even mentioned that's why he wasn't focused on for the mage update. They could make him more tactical (though I swear to god if they for some reason get rid of his ult for something completely different I will cry ;__;)

Well, I'm looking at it more like "Old" Yorick never got any play, so it really didn't matter all that much what he used to be like.

Lets be completely honest, they are pretty much releasing a new champion by recycling his lore.

And since I already have him, I don't have to spend more IP/RP on him.

Win/win!

The only thing I'm not looking forward to with "New" Yorick is SirchEz and Trick2G inducting him into the Gates squad, because let's face it, "New" Yorick is an utterly terrifying split push threat.
