It's blue because it's from the Shadow Isles

Hey guys, did you hear the Shadow Isles are blue? If it's from the Shadow Isles, then it's gotta be blue. That's how you know. Blue. Bluuuue. Blue blue blue blue bluuuuuuuuuuuuee.

(I am not a fan of this design choice by the way if you didn't realize it yet. I don't like that every shadow isles champ is forced to use the same limited color scheme. Why can't Yorick keep his sickly pale green skin instead of HE'S GLOWING BLUE NOW BECAUSE SHADOW ISLES!1!!!1!!11!)

inb4 rework makes her blue too

I've always seen Yorick as an outsider to the rest of the Shadow Isles. No one special, just one of the mooks who's stuck with his job. Almost seems unfitting that he'd be slapped with their colour scheme. But then who knows, maybe in the new lore he's some long lost king of some nonsense like that?

Yeah I totally agree. I've always thought of him as someone who mostly keeps to himself and doesn't involve himself with the power struggles going on in the Shadow Isles. Hate the fact that he's blue now, and hate the fact that he's a big tough dude-bro when the game already has so many of that character type instead of a twisted and disfigured tragic undertaker. :P

New Yorick will appeal to the majority but slap actual Yorick fans in the face. A sad truth :S

He just seems so flipping generic to me now :P

Honestly i like the model, but hopefully the gif is just really bad lighting and he actually still green. I like how his cape is made out of the harrowing as he is now one with the shadow isles. I want his new lore to continue where the old one left off.

Old lore talked about the different levels of death and how yorick (like all grave diggers) would have to finish his mortal job in the afterlife helping the lost souls find peace so his soul could finally be put to rest. This new yorick may be the byproduct of him finally having a rested soul; now that he is imbued with the essence of the shadow isles He can fight against Mord, karthus, kalista, and all of the others that wish to mock the beauty of death
