Yorick rework/Vu/something?
Just wondering if there's any plans for any sort of rework (or VU!) pertaining to Yorick, I live the guy but I don't think there's much you can do with him without breaking him simply because of the harass in his kit.

as far as i know,he is up for a Kit rework and a VU,I dunno if he gets both at the same time like 
or seperately like 
I won't beat around the bush: Riot hates Yorick. His kit is very toxic and frustrating to lane against but with a weak team fighting ability. Also, Yorick has a tendency to break new game modes since Rito always forgets to test these things with him.
Yorick is the oldest champion to have not received a new skin since launch (Riot was releasing two skins per champ at launch at the time). Also, Yorick's permanently off the free-week rotation list, is rarely on sale (if ever) and barely sees any recognition from Riot except for the Pentakill thing and one small mention during the Harrowing.
The overall effect is that there just aren't enough Yorick players around to put an emphasis on fixing him.
Some history:
In mid-2013, Xelnath started a six-month long conversation about Yorick and created a new type of "Grave Digger," one that was more mid-lane focused. The emphasis for this was, in conversation with Morello about Yorick, that there were "more than enough tanky top lane fighters" or something like that.
In early January 2014 all of Xelnath's notes were passed onto RiotScruffy, who was in the middle of working on Skarner at the time. Since then... nothing but a twitter response saying that there was "some progress, but nothing worth talking about yet."
Quite frankly, there are other champs that Riot believes needs more attention, like Poppy. Given the pace ChampUp works with, we might not see any new versions of Yorick until late 2015, if then. Until then, we're stuck with him the way he is.
Old article I dug up for you. It's being worked on but it'll be a while and I think they might push it out with some kind of model update package.
