I haven't heard anything about it in a long while and I was just wondering if he is still under the radar. I personally love the character concept and lore and would like to see him further fleshed out.
Also is his rework going to be similar to Sion's level or is it going to be more like Viktor's level? Any info would be awesome, thanks. :)
I've been really curious about that too, but no more information has been shown. From the last thing they said, it was going to be about a Xerath-like update. Here's the latest rework concept I have from Riot:
Expiration Date
Yorick's summons a ghoul every 20 seconds. Ghouls have 25% of his health and 10% of his total attack damage. Yorick's ghouls will guard him by default, following him around and attacking nearby enemies (prioritizing his attack target). While Yorick has at least one ghoul guarding him, he will take 10% reduced damage that is shared among ghouls that are guarding him. Yorick can command his ghouls to do other actions using his abilities. If Yorick controls more than 3 ghouls, they will slowly lose health over time until only 3 ghouls remain.
Shovel Sweep
>Yorick and each of his ghouls cleave an area about themselves, dealing (+AD) physical damage to enemies hit. If a champion or large jungle monster is slain within 2 seconds of being struck by this ability, Yorick will instantly summon a ghoul.
Pestilent Ichor
Yorick lobs a glob of corpse rot at the target location, dealing (+AD) physical damage to all enemies in the explosion and slowing them for 1.5 seconds. Ghouls hit by the explosion become frenzied and will rush toward the nearest enemy champion, exploding upon contact and dealing (+AD) physical damage and slowing nearby enemies.
Shovel 'n Soul
>Yorick flings a clump of dirt forward in a line, dealing (+AD) physical damage to the first enemy hit. Yorick can pick up the clump of dirt to restore (+AD) health. If a ghoul is guarding Yorick, he will fling a ghoul. The ghoul can pass through minions and stores 50% of the damage it deals. Yorick can reactivate this ability to have the ghoul return, healing him for all the damage stored.
Embrace the Inevitable
>Yorick opens a grave in the earth, summoning 5 ghouls at the target location. While those ghouls are alive, Yorick can re-activate Embrace the Inevitable to move command the army.
Was like a year and a half ago they said they were reworking him and we haven't heard a peep since.
