Forgot Yorick?

I'm glad the lore department added more story to the Shadow Isles characters but they clearly forgot Yorick, no updates, no story add ons. I think Riot left him for dead.

Yorick isn't getting anything because he's subject to having a full Sion-level overhaul. They wouldn't want to give him attention now that would've actually been wasted since he'd be getting something entirely new. If we're lucky, around this time next year, we might actually see him.

I just hope he has more interaction with his zombies, I'd rather have a big zombie that I could upgrade or augment with spells. Yorick is in a bad spot lore and fantasy wise because we already have an undead juggernaut (Sion) and a necromancer lich (Karthus) if anything they should move his lore with Zaun / Noxian lore and make him more of and hextech plague cyborg.

This is what Xelnath had last updated us with before she passed it over to, I think, Sion's team.

My guess would be that all this stuff is being held back until his full rework has been completed. They're not going to change his background now when his redesign could still go on to change direction or try to work him into the story in his current form when it's bound to change later.

I also don't see Yorick as being so much a part of the Harrowing event. He's just more like a character who exists on the shadow isles

thats like saying x isn't involved with y it's just mathematics. Then again the harrowing event kinda bored me, to the point where my xbox is being played now.

They will remember Yorick Mori.

Something I wrote because of the distinct lack of Yorick in Shadow and Fortune. Perhaps you'd enjoy it.

There's a Sion-level update being worked on for Yorick since March 2015 and it should be released next year, so until then he won't get any fancy stuff. :P Also, Jaredan said that they have plans for Yorick (in terms of lore of course). :)
