Guardian of the Sands Yorick

We all know Yorick needs new skins. We've all heard the stuff about Crazy Cat Lady Yorick and Arcade Yorick, which are all fine and good but I'd prefer something with a more serious tone.

There are a few different themes I've thought about, some work with some abilities but many become awkward when you start to try incorporating minions and the maiden into them. First example would be a paladin Yorick, you can give him a badass hammer and make his e throw holy water but minions with a theme that feels natural and not out of place is a bit more difficult.

Guardian of the Sands does not have these problems. Yorick himself would just need some cool Egyptian themed robes/armor, something that gives off a monk vibe probably. The weapon is easy though, obviously an Ankh Staff.

Q- being an auto attack empower doesn't need much in terms of visuals, just swap out the blue glow to golden shimmer and maybe throw in a trail of sand in the overhead swing.

W- doesn't need to be anything crazy, just an ornate sandstone wall would suffice and fit the theme. Alternatively you can just alter his base wall and slap some wrappings on it.

E- Again, simple. Just fling some pocket sand.

R- Dress the maiden up like an Egyptian queen and some pharaoh like get up.

Alternatively we could call him Sandstorm Yorick and get him playing some of that Darude Sandstorm with his dance. :^)

Alternatively for real we could drawn some inspiration from Osiris. A green hue to his skin wouldn't look weird given that he's already a big blue boi, and he can borrow that sweet blue and gold cane. This also has the benefit of being able to name him Yosiris.

Just more Yorick skins. item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070

You didn't mention it specifically, but I assume that his ghouls would be little mummies then? I like it, hopefully Yorick gets something in that direction.

I LOVE Crazy Cat Lady Yorick. I thought nothing could rival its brilliance.

You've proved me wrong.

Okay, as someone who loves playing Yorick in the jungle I fully support this idea! I think it's particularly cool because (If I remember my high-school religions class correctly) in the older Egyptian times the normal people wouldn't go to the afterlife unless their Pharaoh made it and put in a good word for them so that's why everything was focused on doing the best you can to serve the Pharaoh.

I literally posted the same concept.Gravestone on his back could be golden sarcophagus or something.And also he could be wearing the gold and blue headdress.I really like this idea,and especially the mummies that would fit in as ghouls and Maiden.

Let's just re-work him into a Osiris so we can call him Yosiris
