Yorick Rework suggestion.
Hello, and welcome to my Yorick rework suggestion. The way I wanted to change Yorick was emphasizing the ghouls and make them feel like they had identities of their own and more visibility on what they do. Instead of ghoul boosting Yorick trough his old passive, this Yorick tries to fight with his Ghouls and they bring more utility than previous ghouls to make up for some of the lost Combat stats in his old passive/ultimate.
As for most of the stats and numbers on abilities they are tentative or left open on purpose so we could debate on what would be the appropriate resource gating or power budget.
> Passive: Unholy Covenant
>
> Yorick can mark himself or his allies with the "unholy covenant" by using a champion selection.
> He can only mark 1 ally or himself and the marking process take "X" seconds.
>
> if a marked target dies within the range of "Omen of death" they will reanimate to full health and fight for "X/X/X/X" more seconds depending on how many ranks are put in "Omen of Death".
>
> Cooldown: "X/X/X/X" Seconds when reaching level 1/6/11/16
>
This is the substitute for his passive and ultimate. The reason for this change is to differentiate him from Zilean and Mordekaiser. Instead of this being a clutch ability and control a clone ability its become a more strategic ability that can be overcome by destroying "The omen of death". This also makes the reviving process slightly less hit or miss because it will only work if the target dies near the "omen of death" so instead of being punished because the allied ADC survived to long, but died just after the buff expire this iteration will boil down to if "omen of death" is present or not.
This also gives Yorick options if he wants to be a team fighter and placing his passive on allies or to be a split push threat and place it on himself.
> R: Omen of Death
> This ability is available at level 1.
>
> Yorick Summons a Mausoleum at target location spewing up dirt thus creating a "smokescreen" effect around it in a X/X/X/X radius for "X/X/X/X" seconds.
> The Mausoleum is also where his basic ability "special ghouls" come from that never targets minions. Special Ghouls only attack champions and monsters
>
> The Mausoleum will stay indefinitely in the same location unless re-summoned or destroyed.
> If the Mausoleum is destroyed anything that requires "Omen of death" to work will stop working and Yorick will take X/X/X/X true health damage.
>
> Cost: X/X/X/X Mana
> Cooldown: X/X/X/X
Think of "Omen of deaths Mausoleum" as some kind of portal that all Yoricks ghouls come from. This is made so that he has to place his R more aggressively if he wants the ghouls to do their thing earlier. This is to counter his earlier play pattern of just spamming ghouls ontop of the enemy. The enemy know where they come from and can work around it and punish Yorick.
It works just like a Trundle pillar, but can be destroyed with auto attacks, but its immune to spelldamage, but it will block skillshots.
> Q: Omen of War
>
> ACTIVE: Yorick's next basic attack within 10 seconds deals bonus physical damage.
> BONUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 (+ 20% AD)
> Omen of War resets Yorick's autoattack timer.
>
> If it last hits a minion it will reduce its cooldown by 30%
>
> If "Omen of death is up" summon a "war ghoul" from the Mausoleum.
> War ghoul is summoned regardless if you perform the attack or not.
> You can have up to 3 war Ghouls on the battlefield at a time.
>
> The "War Ghoul" is a slow melee fighter with high health and uses sword and shield to continuously auto attack the enemy. War Ghouls attack the one you auto attack or the nearest enemy champion.

Not much has changed ability wise except I added an incentive to last hit with it and spawn the new type of Ghoul up faster. This Ghoul is meant to be a means to deal sustained damage and be more hard/tanky to remove than the other 2 ghouls, but are more kitable.
> W: Omen of Pestilence
>
> Yorick curses an enemy champion reducing their movement speed by 20/25/30/35/40% for 1.5 seconds.
> If the "Pestilence Ghoul" reaches the cursed target within "X" seconds it will deal 60/95/130/165/200(+ 100% AD) and they become rooted for 1.5 seconds, if the target wasn't cursed but was hit by the Ghoul they will be slowed for 20/25/30/35/40% for 1.5 seconds.
> If it doesn't reach any enemy within "X" seconds it will explode where it stands.
>
> If "Omen of death is up" Summon a "pestilence ghoul" from the Mausoleum
>
> Pestilence ghoul is a fast moving homing(think how 
ultimate works) assassin ghoul with two daggers that explodes upon contact with enemy champion. The Pestilence ghoul will only chase the champ with the W curse, but can be blocked.

This Ghouls identity is that its an Assassin and you can only have 1 of this on the battlefield at the time. The idea is that Yorick slows the target and this ghoul comes flying in to do damage. If Yorick has placed the "Omen of death" poorly the ghoul will just explode along the way. This Ghoul can also be blocked by enemy champions. This serves as Yorick burst ability.
> E: Omen of Famine
>
> ACTIVE: Yorick deals magic damage to target location(functions like brand W Pillar of flame) and heals himself for X/X/X/X/X% of the damage done.
> MAGIC DAMAGE: 55 / 85 / 115 / 145 / 175 + (+ 100% AP)
>
> If "omen of death is up" Summon a "Famine ghoul" and summon additional Famine ghouls for each enemy champion hit up to 3 ghouls from the Mausoleum.
>
> Famine ghoul is a low health mage type Ghoul that is immune to spells and spelldamage that tries to channel onto the nearest enemy champion reducing their strongest offensive trait by X/X/X/X/X%. If there are multiple Famine Ghouls they will still latch on the nearest enemy champion, but they wont debuff the target anymore than 1 famine ghoul would, but the enemy has to remove multiple ghouls to get rid of the debuff.

You might have noticed that I have changed the slow ability to scale with AD and the Heal ability with AP and this is intentional. Since Yorick is mainly a AD and will build AD I wanted to give him a heal that doesn't scale well unless he uses it well. This is why it is turned into an AOE so he is rewarded for hitting multiple stuff with it, but gets punished for missing.
