I know Taric is before him (very close to reveal actually) and Yorick will be about end of the year/early next year as stated, but here are some things that i think make Yorick, Yorick and are worthwile keeping.

Visually/Character wise:

  • Still should use a shovel as is weapon.
  • Should hopefully still be this tragic, strange looking, grave digging dark figure that you really don't want to run into in the night.
  • Hopefully he will still be a bit creepy (he himself now isn't that creepy, but he could be. Already saw a few fanarts that gave me little chills).
  • Also i love his Quasimodo like body structure and the lantern on his back, hope that stays.
  • Story should stay similiar but with a lot more background (who was he when he was alive, what killed him, what does he do now other than burying people and dig up graves, what are his ghouls exactly etc.).
  • His most famous Quote must stay, how else would we remember Yorick Mori?

Gameplay wise:

  • Ghouls (but that pretty obvious and will stay in some form anyway as far as i know).
  • Still should have some sort of health sustain and lack of mobility (as already Meddler said - Juggernaut).
  • Should still be a lanebully but with a lot more counterplay than he has now.
  • Maybe could still be a more supportive Juggernaut like with his ultimate now. His Ultimate needs to change - that for sure, but i think that he could still have something to help his allies in some way.
  • Keep Muramana as a viable core item on him.
  • Still should maybe have some on-hit effect like his Q now seeing that almost every Juggernaut has one (Garen, Nasus, Udyr, Illaoi, Darius, Mordekaiser) i think Skarner is the only one without a on-hit effect ability.

Well and thats about everything that is worthwile keeping in my opinion. Really looking forward to both Taric and Yorick. :)

My prediction is that his kit will see the most change, to play up the ghoul part. Right now his ghouls just feel like spells that last an extra second.

His looks will prob be more undead/zombie looking with the Shadow Isles green/black fog glow around him.

Otherwise, still hoping they release Project: Yorick with his rework!

Totally agree on all Points. I would appreciate if Riot would take care of these things. As someone who proudly counts Yorick to his Tier 5 Main Champs, i would be really sad if his identidy got lost for the sake of including him back into the Meta.
