"Yay, Ryze rework is out! Now we can wait for Yori-"

Could probably be a random Galio rework or a surprised Urgot rework.

Is this Ryze's 2nd or 3rd rework now?
Nothing gets squeezed into anything before anything. The team that worked on Yorick is a different team than the team that worked on ryze. Yorick is a Sion level VGU, and he's a minionmancer. He takes a ton of work.
You're gonna love the way you wait, I Guarantee it!
I wouldn't count on it. Based on this thread there are several teams updating different champions. At the bottom, there is this paragraph:
** Is Ryze going to delay Yorick, our big VGU planned for release after Ryze?**
The answer to this is no. Ryze has not delayed the Yorick Update. We currently have three separate groups on the Champion Update team. Two of the groups work on our big updates (Sion/Taric level) and the third works on the Roster projects, like the recent Marksmen & Mage class changes. The group that worked on Poppy rolled onto Yorick shortly after Poppy released. The group that worked on Taric rolled onto Ryze shortly after Taric released. Ryze's scope is smaller than Yorick's and due to the reason I mentioned above (Having a near complete model/rig,) Ryze will most likely come out before Yorick.
The part he mentions concerning the model:
Back when we were doing the last gameplay update to Ryze we actually were also doing a visual update for him. We had a model close to completion but lacked a strong narrative direction and Voice Over to tie his thematic together, so we chose to simply release the gameplay with a texture update. Having a near-complete model/rig meant that we could have an accelerated production process on Ryze should we ever revisit him.
