Endless wailing floods his dreams
Must not, cannot, heed their whims
End your hunt! Join us! They scream
Must keep going. Must persist
Bearing alone this story
Even when the dead resist
Retreat not, Yorick Mori

How intentional are the faces in the black smoke/evil dust cloud on the artwork? Pretty sick.

Alas, poor Yorick! I played him, Riot: a fellow of infinite ghouls, of most excellent tank: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those arms that have carried me I know not how oft. Where be your ghouls now? your carry? your ultimate? your flashes of opness, that were wont to set the enemy on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own rework? quite nerfed? Now get you to my summoner's chamber, and tell him, let him rage a week long, to this rework he must cry; make him detest at that. Prithee, Riot, bring back our old yorick.

Yorick skin concept: Pokemon Trainer Yorick

Graves are the tall grass with pokemon in them, which spawn pokemon when activated. W is a pokeball shaped circle wall. E throws a Razz Berry (all the pokemon jump onto it) Ult summons Mom via xTransceiver.

Rito y can't u give good counter tips? At least give champ suggestions.

And now I can actually play Yorick without people dodging and maybe still have lane opponents who don't rage quit. It's a good time to be a Yorick main... it's been a few months since I last played him but still.
