Yorick

If you know how to conserve on mana, this guy is perfect.

While she deals a lot of damage, Yorick can push her back while farming.

Whether its his Q, his W, or his E, you'll be able to farm just fine.

His passive gives him up to 15% reduced damage and 15% increased damage for each pet he summons.

Q deals 110% of his AD and for little cost, gives him a small bonus MS for 1 second, and a free pet.

W costs more, but it deals surrounding magic AP damage, slows those hit, by spell or pet.

E costs the same as W, sends out a small AD damage to 1 person, minion, or monster, and heals Yorick for damage done from the activation and pets damage to whatever.

But be careful, it may sound OP but Riven can jump right on top of you and kill you in an instant. Unless you have the right build, you will just feed.

The last thing is his ultimate. It doesn't just work after death, it works before as well. Get some AD and health, and use this ultimate to push to turret with no cost to you.

Yorick is not easy to play, but is fun to use. He is also fun to see dead, on your side with R or on the other side without his R.

Y...you're joking right? I hate the faceroll known as Riven too but you honestly just said..Yorick is not easy to play lol..

Its just no one plays as him. I never hear much on why people don't play as him and even if he is OP, why don't people play as him even though he does have some counter play.

When I play in a match, and win my lane, even with 1/4/0, I still have a hard time in late and am easy to gank and get killed by many mages and marksmen.

Riven has more counterplay than Yorick. Nobody plays Yorick because he is weak... because Riot nerfed him because he had no counterplay and was extremely toxic to lane against. There's a reason why he's been banned from the free champion rotation.

Yorick I'm not familiar with this champion. Did he just come out or something? /grin

Gnar Alistar better imo.

I like playing Riven against Gnar. Even if he starts cloth armor he's really really squishy, and his range is too low to kite her.

a good Gnar player who can hit his Q and knows how to use his W and E, he can kite her fine unless Riven uses a flash.

I wish I knew how to do that, because I can't kite Riven for the life of me unless I'm playing someone like Vayne or Kalista. She always ults and uses 2 of her qs to get on top of me, then an e q to catch back up to me after I jump.

Yorick is incredibly easy to play, and lacks any real counter play. That's why Riot removed him from free week rotation and they tried to keep him under the radar until his rework

My favorite against Riven is Gangplank , it still works pretty well if you can time your oranges at the right time, also, in season 4, this was the easiest lane in the world if you bought Atma's Impaler, truly my favorite item on GP
