Is the maiden of the mist the Ruined King's late wife?
Well, given that "maiden" very specifically means "unmarried", I hope not.
Why was Yorick
put on the back burner of reworks for so long? And why is THIS season, the season of reworks? If you're gonna do a majority of reworks why not hold off on new champs that always seem to be OP to begin with, that you eventually take time to update and nerf
, and just focus on reworking champs that need it and the community has been asking for?
That way you could have more time to work on new champs in the future.
yorick was not put on back burner, they pretty much had to make a new champion with the same theme. There are many teams in rito working on stuff and it just might be harder to rework some rather than others. And people like new champs so if they don't start op then they get forgotten.
As IdaiNaHourouSha said, it is not a back-burner issue so much as a thematic one. While
and
kits are a bit out dated they still function and do what they should. As to
; she was already reworked and they continue to buff and nerf her to find that sweet spot. When I started she was not perma stealthed but one of her abilities gave her like a 2 minute stealth at 5th rank. Her passive stunned champs when she dealt damage to them from stealth. They nerfed that so she only slo0wed them, but then she saw virtually no play. Hence her first rework.
The reasoning behind WHEN these things get done is incredibly complex. The opinion and desires of the Summoner community is only one part. They work on these things long before they tell us. The problem is that some things are just way easier to rework then others. Also I am pretty sure that the team making new champs is separate from those reworking them. When they decide who to rework first they need to look at gameplay balance more than the whims of us summoners.
For instance: reworking
; It was not that heard to come up with her I am guessing because while mechanically she changed a lot, there was more ways to accomplish her theme. Healing from her own lifeforce already fit her story, and Starcall may be a small targeted area instead of an OP rain of death, but now it heals you. Now
, how many ways can you think of to make a evil lifestealing "werewolf"(I know he is technically not a werewolf, but was transformed by
so his outside matched his inside)? When his rework comes(and trust me it will), they need to let people still feel like they are this bad ass werewolf who is hard to kill.
will there be a Traditional Yorick for the original Yorick Mains?
Is yorick going to be back in the champion rotation???
Please do a Rework on NUNU
feels bad man. I like playing this champion but i feel literally useless with him.
Were there any other concepts for his rework?
I've been a Yorick main for quite a long time now, hit mastery level 7 and got to mid plat with the man.. him getting reworked is pretty bittersweet for me, but the new kit does look pretty amazing. I was a fan of the colored ghouls, can I ever expect a skin to return the Blue/Green/Red colorization of the ghouls at any time, like a Traditional Yorick?
maybe he'll get a "traditional" looking skin like trundle and gangplank did?
and 
it won't be the same now he is some kind of corrupted monk like waaaaaaaaat???????
No, they said they were not doing those anymore. Also Gangplank does not have one. He has Captain Gangplank which is similar to his original outfit but not a traditional skin. The stopped doing that because I think it caused too much strife with those who happened to own a champ before the rework and those who were stuck with whatever the new classic looked like.
How would you build him? Tank? Bruiser? Armour Pen?
He does % health damage with his ult, so I could see tank being a thing.
I NEED A PBE ACCOUNT THIS IS THE REWORK OF MY MAIN AND I AM ACTUALLY EXCITED PLEASE HOLY COW. This looks so amazing. You even pushed him in the direction I wanted out of the Yorick rework. I am so excited. I want to play him so much, I just can't even words~~~~~~!
How long does the Maiden of the Mist(Yorick's ult) last for when activated? How different will the AI of yorick's abilities be compared to Mordekaiser's or Annie's AI?
it says Maiden lasts until her health is depleted so forever i guess?
is there a way to control her tho? like the mordekaiser ult?
it says she attacks and moves on her own. she could just wander off after killing the target. idk sounds kinda op but she may be really easy to kill. although putting someone is the W then putting the ult in their would be cool
My best guess is that she'll be like an uncontrollable, ranged Tibbers.
She will last until she hits 0 health, with no decay I think. However you can't summon a second one.
i think you can summon a second one, it just destroys the latter.
She dies when she hits 0 hp and she decays when she moves away from Yorick, which I think is the balance. You have to follow her whims if you need her longer. Not sure the exact AI though, it says you cannot control her but then what does she do when there are no targets around? will she just wait or wander off? I am not on the PBE so I will have to ask a friend who is.
Leave a comment*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]* GJ REWORK
Will Yorick ult go on CD the moment Maiden of the Mist dies or the moment she is summoned?
What made you decide to take the undertaker skin in the direction it went? Is it part of the new plague line of skins?
Now that he has received a rework, is it possible we will see a new skin for Yorick?
Will he have any AP scalings? Im curious how
would work with him. #
I would agree with XenomorphCobra that continually pushing out new champs though it creates a fun experience it completely makes older champs more and more useless. Every champion thats come out in the last year or so feels like its completely built on either lifesaving abilities, kalista, bard, tahm kench, Kindred, ekko even reworked flora, or super high mobility, tahm kench, ryze rework, kled, Aurelion sol, taliyah creating gameplay for many champions unplayable or at least unfavorable. I feel that they should hold off on new champs for a while and rework champions to be able to exist in this new fast pace mobile meta they are forcing than just keep making new champs. Also from a competitive side eventually if they continue to make champions the ability to create a real sporting environment will eventually be lost. There will be way to many variables and it won't be about your ability to play the game much longer. The time needed to invest in champ pools will just become to significant. I am not saying we are there yet but add another 25 champs in the future and it will just become too much and either the old champs lacking reworks will be ignored and never played (which is already happening) or it will reduce the efficiency of the players to the point where you will see mechanical mistakes start becoming more and more apparent even in the pro scene.
yorick permaban
can this new yorick jg?
favorite thing about new yorick is his head is above his shoulders now unlike maplhite
posture op op 
will the new ghouls have scaling with his ad and hp like the old ones?
I hope he can be a great split pusher (seems there are few now days)
Just some questions I had in mind
Who is the Maiden of the Mist? Is she someone we know of from previous lore or from say Hecarim's lore or Mordekaiser's, etc ?
I know usually when a champion gets a rehaul, the skins are just changed to fit the champion (like it's still the same skin, but with the new models/the updated champion) But, will there be particle effects added? Will the ghouls look different (ex:
and his minions) will the Maiden of the Mist?
Also, will there be a new Yorick skin coming out anytime soon? Maybe any ideas you guys had for him or anything? I really like Yorick, and it'd be cool to have an awesome particle changing/ghoul changing, etc skin (not that the other ones aren't ok)
Finally, will Yorick be relevant in the late game? Does he fall off? Does he dominant in the early game? Late ? And can you control the Maiden of the Mist (i'd assume not from the videos i've seen so far but just double checking.)
Thanks :)
lol
lololol
hi shout out lol
that moment when yorick is now blue instead of green.[zombie-brand-clap]
I'm thinking that because Yorick takes time to set up will he be able to win any trade if he has 4 ghouls up?
Will the turret switch from targeting ghouls to Yorick if Yorick attacks a champ under their turret?
so What about the skins we bought for the previous Yorick? they got reworked?
Zwill is the BEST!
Is his ult smiteable? His ghouls?
[zombie-nunu-bummed]
Can you Life steal off the wall? Will trundle passive give him a ton of hp if the wall is killed?
[zombie-nunu-bummed]
give
a rework [slayer-jinx-unamused]
but when is the update...
