A Yorick Rework

Passive: Haunted grave digger: Yoricks ghouls apply 1 stack of haunted up to a maximum of x stacks. When Yorick attack a haunted target his auto attacks deal true damage. Each time a target is hit they lose a stack of haunted.

Q : Call of the Tomb

Active : Yorick gain x/x/x/x/x% Attack speed and deals additional damage for each ghoul active and summons a tombstone that summons a spectral being every X seconds. (Yorick can have 3 tombstone active at once.)

Spectral Ghouls: Apply one stack of “haunted” when they auto attack. Ghouls damage and heath is based of Yorick’s attack damage and health. Ghouls that are summoned from “call of the tomb” have 50% of Yorick’s total life steal.

W : Grave soil

Active : Yorick calls forth to the spirits of the deceased in a area. Targets that move over the area take damage over time effect and are slowed. When they leave this area they are followed by a ghoul.

Spectral Ghoul: Apply one stack of haunted and will apply burn effect on target that is auto attacked.

E: Graveyard ruin

Active : Destroy all tombstones dealing magic damage to the surrounding enemies. Summon 1 ghoul per tombstone destroyed. Spectral ghoul: chases nearest enemies and latches onto them. After 1.5 seconds they detonate deal physical damage to the target. Dame is multiplied by the amount of ghouls on the target.

R: Same as current. (I'm lazy)

Basically the point of this is make yorick an aoe split-pusher with decent 1v1 capabilities.

I think they're planning on redoing his lore before anything else. That being said: The problem with Yorick isn't that he's weak or anything, but instead embodies what Riot defines as "toxic" in this new meta.

He absolutely destroys while in-lane, but falls off harder than any other champion once teamfighting starts. He's the picture definition of "ult-bot" who needs a rework on the scale of Sion, minimum, to become relevant again.

I got my own ideas , but I imagine they're just going to change his lore from grave-digger to something even more related to the Shadow Isles. Probably. I don't even know what his current lore is.
