Yorick Rework
First of all, Yorick seems to never be in the champion rotation and he is a old champion. He deserves to be in rotation for people to play, and he deserves a rework and a new splash art.

I say they need to get all the top Yorick players like Inverted Composer, 3 Ghouls 1 Yorick, and Kosticka and have them put together a rework and submit it to Riot. From that, let Riot make the kit balanced and then VU the ol' Gravedigger.
I just don't trust Riot to rework low-pick champions and keep their hardcore fans happy, ala Cass.
I personally am a hard core yorick player, I've played yorick and fell in love with the champion since season two. Most of all the haters and ragers fueled my desire and want to play and master the champion yorick. I'm happy he isn't played often, I am not a huge fan of the popular champions like Lee sin or Tristana. If yorick has to go through a rework that is fine with me. I don't find him boring, he's the only champ who is real to the undead theme. I'm sick of the shadow Isle champs glowing blue or green like a ghost. He is very unique in his nature to receive a kind of hate from the community only because of his sustainment and misunderstanding. People claim skill from a 4 button game. When I mostly see a j4 or a vi land thier crazy cc combos that take no more skill than landing a w>e as yorick. Only difference is you aren't stunned or knocked back for a million years. To me yorick is one of the few true balanced champions. I hope thier rework keeps that balance but also offers new windows of play and strategy I can use to lead my team to victory on the fields of justice. Here's a yorick tip ult early. No one is actually meant to die to make his R effective.

Notes: This new AOE knock back that destruction has gives Yorick great kill pressure in lane as he can knock them towards him and get his full combo off as well as giving him great ganks allowing him to knock the enemy champion out of position and towards him. The AOE damaging aura from destruction also gives him faster jungle clear time and when ult summoned can cause melt away a teams health if left unchecked in team fights.

Change
• Grants mana on hit
• Gives gold bonus for large and epic monster kills

R: Demonic Reckoning (NEW)
• Grants Yorick increased passive bonus, increased ghoul stats, length of ghoul stay and increases the power of the ghoul’s on cast abilities.
Notes: This new ult gives Yorick a few things. For one it allows him great single target damage and allows him to become a ferocious tank shredder giving him passive bonus and the improved ghouls making short work of champions on cast. The ghouls also give him massive team fight presence as he can control where the ghouls go and the ghouls can focus and zone targets making areas of denial and making it potentially deadly to those who try to cross this area.
COST: 100 MANA COOLDOWN: 140 / 130 / 120
ACTIVE: Yorick channels potent necromantic energies to supercharge ghouls on next cast. Their on cast ability strengths and stats are increased. Passive bonus is doubled.
