Yorick

Ok so I am not really good at these things but over the time I have seen something odd about this champ. He has had nothing but nerfs and bug fixes since his release I hear speculation and posts regarding he is the champ Riot wishes was never made, and oddly enough except for his debut free rotation, this champ has never been on free rotation. Not one in all the time I have played league.

So with that said I believe Yorick is in desperate need of a rework, for two reason, he is significantly outplayed in any of the meta top laners and even off meta picks, and he really does not fit anywhere in league, it's kinda like how they openly stated how Fiora is. She was a duelist, and that was pretty much it. I personally like this champ and find or at least try to find ways to make him useful.

Now here is where I think he should be reworked and why, his minions don't last long at all, and yet he has a truly powerful ultimate, probably one of the best in the game due to it gives the person ulted a second chance or a fail safe to secure a kill. And this is where I will express 2 ways briefly how he can be reworked whilst still keeping his uniqueness.

If he were to truly be reworked into a top laner, I feel he should have his minions last longer or make them last until killed like heimers turrets but if they go to far from him they fizzle out much like dongers turrets when he leaves a lane or walks away from them. This would trade out for the stability of them as well making them take more damage or have less HP and scale ratios and damage ratios decreased slightly. Keep the ultimate the same or allow him to ressurect a completely dead ally. He is the gravedigger after all.

Now this is where I think he could shine the most. SUPPORT, turn Yorick into a support. give him some ghouls that buff the adc or hinder the enemies based on who the throws them at. Leave the ultimate as is because it is as I said just incredible.

Please guys let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas on this matter let me know. Trolling will just cause nothing, but in the sense of diversity and the way Riot has been approaching the reworks to champions in the sense that they want to make him unique, and for a champ that has never been touched I think he is in dire need of some help and some love.

He has a 50% win rate at best and even though that may sound alright as that is average, he has 1% play and popularity, for a game that has a player base as large if not larger than WOW and any other moba or mmo out there, I say he needs some love. show Yorick some love peeps.

I think you've got some good ideas here. Same as you I love this little out of place misfit and hope he can be given new life, much like Sion and Poppy. I agree that the ult needs to stay the same, but that the ghouls need to work better than the way they are currently (short life span and what not). I think shifting him towards being more support oriented would be a step in the right direction, and let him see a lot more use. Fingers crossed to see him brought back from the dead sometime soon!

I have always liked the idea of Yorick being able to support and top. The support makes sense thematically because he aids others to rise in the tier of death. Top though because he is a loner and is trying to immortalize his family moniker.

I hope Yorick's character remains similar though. A Quasimodo, hobbling, brooder who is a neutral force in the Shadow Isles and just wants to be remembered. Yorick is the most boring champion to play, but has the richest character for me.

Are you having struggles with this champ? I am in gold and can do alright for the most part. I feel the biggest thing is proper itemization. Though sometimes I feel I could have picked a different champ to have more impact out of the laning phase. Overall Yorick is in a bad spot but if you notice these champs are too,

Jayce Urgot (my main) other champions that rely on tear. Casting ad champions aren't doing not so hot.
