r/yorickmains

Morde and Irelia are out, who else is good/decent? My 2 main champions are Urgot and Illaoi, both unplayable vs yorick

not something that is hard to play tho i want a champ that is easy to pick up and stomp other yoricks with or just to play when he is banned (rare but still)

So, long story short : today wasnt the day to play, im 9 losses in a row, now Emerald IV

Every game it was the same thing : I get a small lead, support immediately spawns on my lane, sometimes jungler too. I have to concede gold and xp, I become useless. Meanwhile nothing happens bot side

What am I supposed to do in this situation ?

I'M GONNA JUUUUUUUUUUUMP, Welcome back Monks & Maidens sad times have fallen before us..
Hopefully it's not too bad, since Ghouls still insta shred with it and we still gain 20 MS with Maiden and E but man..
Just feels bad losing some of the synergy and potential builds due to this Nerf..

ı started banning sett especially because ı dont have a single champ ı know that is good against him so ı just get destroyed

50% Yorick mains hate his play style 30% stopped playing and the other ones are new mains who enjoy a braindead no skill Nasus play style and are all below Emerald.

Does Riot hate this champion? is it because he is not Ahri or Jinx permanently top 3 best champions 52% winrate 20% pick rate?

Every single patch he gets worse since everyone can abuse items and runes and he can't

This build is focused on farming and scaling to late game. The game plan is to out cs the enemy team and take down turrets fast. The runes first strike and cash back are obviously for getting a lot of gold to further the gold advantage. The first strike works well with the items as well, since it offers good lethality poke. Profane hydra is great for wave clearing as well. Bandles in the end for a cheap stat stick if enough time. These items are very expensive tho, so you really have to maximize your farming to get them all.

How are you guys feeling about this build? I am only in gold right now since I got demoted hard from gold this split, so I am not great at the game or anything, just thought this could be a cool build.

TLDR: Like the champ, but he isn't what it used to be before nerfs. So is there any hope for buffs or any changes?

Similarly to many people probably, I got lured to this champ because of the old videos of the crazy antics yorick can do, especially in jungle, and I wanted a piece of that.

So I picked him up and pretty fast I realized that he isn't what the videos showed. That's how I learned about the changes(nerfs) that were made to yorick.

"But how bad could it be?"

So I tried playing him anyway, and had quite a bit of fun in the normal draft and some low mmr games, because at that level, people just don't look at the map at all. So I had a few funny games where I could easily split push one of the sidelanes while casually doing an objective at the same time. I once had my maiden push from tier 3 turret all the way to the nexus, and it actually took nexus XD, while I was stalling in teamfights on mid.

But all changed when I started trying to climb, because as soon as I got to slightly higher elos, the idealistic hope got crushed. Prety fast.

I am still able to pull of a nice split push through maiden while I do something else, or similar fun antics, but I can only get a single attempt to actually work out per game, at best. And as the elos get higher it seems increasingly more difficult to pull anything off while at the same time, I'm starting to feel more weaker compared to other junglers, like naafiri that can just live in my jungle from lvl 2.

I like the champ A LOT. His kit is prety nice and the shit you can sometimes pull off is pretty fun. I mean, who doesn't want to split push both sidelanes at the same time:D

But the fact remains that Yorick just doesn't really cut it anymore.

So I ask you people, is there any hope for buffs or reworks or ANYTHING?

Hello Yorick community, due to the rise of this disgusting ranged rop laners I’ve decided to learn Yorick and he is pretty fun, question is, what do you build on this dude? What runes do you take? I feel like Yorick has a billion setups so it’s been a bit confusing.

I don't understand why a lot of people do Black cleaver, everytime I do it I lose my lane. But when I do eclipse THEN Black clever or Shojin I win my lane ( not always but more easily). Is there some technologie behind Black cleaver I don't understand ?

Not much to say other than i genuinely love this item 2nd or 3rd it works well against literally any top laner especially funny against people who lock in teemo, heimer and vayne.

What’s your thoughts on this

Super impressed by how he played yorick! And now probably we are getting hit by another nerf lol

Feels impossible to play. No one in gold understands split pushing and just die before you can do anything. Unless you’re mega fed from stomping lane you just can’t do anything. Even if they send one person, you can’t just hit turrets or your minions aggro and then you can’t get plates. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yorick is probably my highest banned champion of my life, i have mained pantheon for most of my leauge journey and the yorick matchup has been misserable. when i play WW then yorick becomes rather simple. side question, is it worth it to build anti heal into yorick? 800g+ item slot for a heal on your q? why do people play yorick? does yorick players know people hate yorick?
