am i the only that thinks they should do something with yorick?
No one plays this big guy anymore
. they should make him updated to make people more interested in him. i saw him one time in 3 years of playing. like seriously, he should get updated.

ok to understand what made Yorick a pain in the ass even more so then old kassadin back in the day was very simple you could not counter him with anything his early game was simply too good. this all came to be because no matter how good you went all ham on him he would simply sustain it back with E
his late game was and still is garbage he is one of the worst scaling champions due to the fact that he has very little mobility and its all tied to him proccing Q on somehting in melee range (very situational) they nerfed him to the point that he still does this but he no longer snowballs as hard and thus pretty much loses all importance around lvl 6 if you don't have a advantage on your oponent.
anyways now that everyone understands his issue aka you cannot trade with him
here is a simple fix exchange his secondary effect of E with Q so now Q heals him and E will speed him up. this way he has poke but no longer nullifies all trades safely from his turrets protection but has to go out there to heal up.
and then you can buff him acordingly where needed especially his late game needs to be looked at
He's a clutch top lane counter pick against certain champs. Other than that he's not top tier and I'd like to see some QoL buffs for him.
Riot has already talked about reworking him. They had a few ideas and tested them out but didn't like them in the end. One idea was taking away his ult and giving him super powered ghouls, or an ult that was like Zz'Rot where it summoned ghoul after ghoul.
Currently riot really doesn't like this ult.
Yeah I've been saying that for awhile, I posted a thread about Yorick Rework in Gameplay & Balance Forum. Short of it, increase his cool downs, make E a skillshot, provide aura effects to his ghouls, make his Ult provide his passive to teammates near the Revenant. Ult would then feel strong, counter play in lane due to longer cds, and more bursty with the ability to steal objectives with E if he lands stuff, also sustain becomes harder to reliably land. Done.
