Yorick rework idea

Hello! Let me start by telling you guys some information. My name is Swiftburn, I started this forum post to share my view on the direction the Yorick rework should go towards. I don't have the numbers for anything but I hope to inspire Riot with my suggestions for a Yorick rework. I am hoping to help the Yorick rework go into the direction that both Riot and the League of Legends' community is content with.

Yorick rework idea: Yorick

  • Yorick passive:

Every time a ghoul is sacrificed the ghouls stats are transferred to Yorick for X duration.

  • Q ability:

Self-cast: Yorick gains a speed boost (X speed, X duration).

Ghoul cast: The ghoul is sacrificed to put an AoE slow (X duration, X diameter) below the targeted ghoul instead of giving Yorick a speed boost.

  • W ability:

Self-cast: Yorick and his ghouls gain attack speed for X duration.

Ghoul cast: Its hp slowly decays over time but his autos heal Yorick for X amount per auto until the ghoul is sacrificed also giving the ghoul a sacrifice debuff (more about the debuff in R).

  • E ability:

Yorick commands his ghouls to dash (X distance) towards your cursor.

  • R passive:

Yorick's ghouls gain some of Yorick's stats when summoned (does not stack with Yorick's passive that would just be OP).

  • R active: (Automatically has 1 point when you start the game. Ex: jayce, nidalee)

Yorick gains a ghoul stack every X seconds (X stack cap) (X time ghouls are alive for) (X ghoul travel range) which Yorick can command by holding R + right clicking, only 3 ghouls may be active at a time. Yorick may summon more ghouls but are replaced (ex: Heimerdinger turrets) unless the ghoul has a sacrifice debuff. (Note: Ghouls move slower than on live and have a bigger hitbox) (Note: R doesn't damage it only summons the ghouls) (Note: You tap R to summon a ghoul near Yorick)

I tried to keep Yorick pretty much the same as on live but making him have more apparent weaknesses that can be exposed. This way all those Yorick mains won't complain that Yorick isn't the same anymore but also make them choose and have SOME skill in order to play. Please leave feedback I'd love to hear your criticism. Thanks!

But how are the ghouls summoned? I don't. See what skill summons them. Or does he summon 1 with an auto attack every few seconds?

the only way that would work if his ult had no cooldown or had a very low cooldown but with how he is now is a better version of this i prefer them not to change him not enough people play him enough to know how to beat him so they rage

If you come to look at my idea for a Yorick rework if you could leave a comment or two at least telling me, why you like it or why you don't that would be fantastic. Thanks!
