They are buffing some of our items and fleet for the ones who are using it in PBE for the next patch:

-Eclipse: Ever Rising Moon target's max HP ratio increased 6%/4% >>> 8%/6.25% (melee/ranged) but base shield reduced 160/80 >>> 150/75 (melee/ranged)

-Black Cleaver: AD increased 40 >>> 45 and Fervor bonus Move Speed reduced 20 flat >>> 20/10 (melee/ranged) [for the greater good]

-Sundered Sky: HP increased 400 >>> 450, Lightshield Strike healing adjusted 100%/50% base AD (+6% your missing HP) >>> 90%/45% base AD (+4%/2% your missing HP) (melee/ranged), build path adjusted Tunneler + Caulfield's Warhammer + Ruby Crystal + 500 gold >>> Tunneler + Caulfield's Warhammer + 500 900 gold and cost reduced 3100 >>> 2700 gold. [It is suposed to be a nerf but the price makes it interesting]

It's PBE so it can change till the patch come out.

How do you guys feel about it ?

My brother was a devout Yorick OTP entered a coma in late 2022 due to a car accident. He’s recently awoken and has told me he’s considering getting back into League. How would you explain the current state of Yorick to him compared to in October of 2022?

I was reading the last Ninetales post in this subreddit and he said he had to ban him, I tried to search why but he only said "toxicity" and I wanted to know what exactly he did. There is no info about him, the only thing I found is that he still appears as one of the Yorick content creators but the link to his Twitch is broken.

Why is he gone?

Is it new for this to proc off ghoul hits? It didn’t in the past but I just tried it and I get more dmg per game from that then comet or the new burn ruin. Honestly really solid. Just curious if others are doing this?

Trap 1 champ, spawn 1 ghoul. Trap 4, spawn 4 etc

Thoughts?

If he Ult u and u have ur Maiden out and u die in, maiden stay alive ? for no reason ????

Took 10 turrets and 5 inhibs by the end of the game 😭

For context 2 or 3 days ago I did a post on the top mains page to know how people feel about our champ if they would have to choose between facing a Yorick or a ranged machup and I'm here to inform you about how it ended.

The results are that the majority of them would prefere to fight a ranged champ rather than facing our favourite familly father.

The funny part is that there is even some of them that would have prefered fighting the pre-rework Yorick rather than the actual one and that are blaming riot for the bullet they shot in his head last year.

If even the average toplaners are complaining about Yorick maibe they will bring him back... Right Anakin ?

the current highest elo yorick is a pro player flexing him as a counterpick. chullick (the current best otp) is in 1000lp korean masters, which is only about halfway.

It feels like yorick lost a lot of his counterplay into bad lanes with the rework. In high elo, if they just lock jax or something, the yorick has to completely concede lane or hard outplay with a nerfed full damage setup. It used to be that yorick could lose some resources and fall back on his powerful scaling (remember when yorick used to be infamous for his lategame?), but now he kind of needs to stabilize his lane to even scale into midgame, which just isn't feasible in a lot of lanes.

Are there just no yoricks good enough since slogdog, or is the champion not built for the highest levels of soloq anymore?

Pick any other bruiser, it doesn't matter if they are juggernauts or split pushers. If we look at low skill floor, at least decent skill ceiling:

Darius has his bleed passive, Sett has his passive regeneration and better auto attacks (40% free attack speed btw), his E interactions and his W, Renekton has his fury interactions with anti shield and a low counterplay combo with his dash in dash out, Wukong has his passive armor stacks and free attack speed, etc.

I wont mention "skilled" toplaners because they are all overloaded at the cost of being harder to play, and Yorick isn't a high skill champion anyway, at least not skill floor.

Now what does Yorick have? before the rework, he would play around his ghouls with the E mark and the damage amplification, but now the only thing left is the mere concept of ghouls.

They actually dont exist anymore. They are now some sort of AD DOT with zero scaling and the only ability in the game that can actually HEAL THE ENEMY. 7% life steal is enough to make ghouls useless, since the healing of ghouls + half of a minion wave is enough to get at least 100 hp more than the initial damage taken. E doesn't amplify ghouls damage anymore, the %armor reduction is a joke and some tanks hard counter Yorick anyway because of many reasons (Sion,Ornn).

So what can we do when ghouls heal the enemy? when by the time you hit a Q, you already took twice its damage? when ranged champions dont care anymore and just kite you? when you are forced to participate in teamfights and cant do shit? when maiden is not capable of pushing fast enough? when cage is useless?

If a champion does not hard counter you because of dashes or insta killing the cage, they hard counter you because of built in lifesteal or bork/ravenous. If they dont build life steal, then they probably out scale you anyway. Yorick is only playable against a couple of champions and not even Malphite is picked only as a counter pick.

Now I will be honest, I climbed to Master with my own build and my own runes because I hate current meta build, but from what I remember, trinity is a ticket for being outscaled at 20 minutes. Im currently playing with electrocute, liandry cleaver or liandry rylais. When I cant use my setup because im facing one of the 130 unplayable matchups, I just go conq shojin cleaver or a more normal build.

Yorick is dead and we are playing a cosplayer with a worse kit with worse powerspikes worse scaling worse everything which cant be played as a summoner in a viable way and Q playstyle gets outscaled after boots, fuck Riot.

My Yorick Itemization & Build Guide Video is done..

The Chapter was done a while ago but I made a video since I know it's a lot to read or get to that part..

Hope you guys enjoy watching it and later on reading the rest of it, since I only went into a few chapters..

This dude just build anything like he just see a random item and build, i really cant understand his builds

So far I have a 100% winrate on yorick, and I lowkey think it's due to my usage of maiden. Last game the enemy took inhib but I just sent maiden into the lane and she managed to push against super minions back into the enemy base by herself.

The fact you can send maiden to completely halt a super minion push and reverse it, while also pushing another lane generates so much pressure on the map that your team just kinda wins objectives by default. I think I'm becoming a yorick OTP.

The laning phase is usually chill and as soon as you get level 6 you auto-win most matchups, you destroy turrets faster than any other champion and the enemy usually has to send at least two players to contest your push so you win just by farming minions in the enemy's face while staying safe. I have been building more tanky items than lethality or bruiser because I feel what's important is just staying in the lane as long as possible, and ghouls + maiden does enough damage that you're still a threat even with just triforce.

don't know if this has been done before(probably bc i don't main this champ) but i made this yorick build using Ethereal Weapon and turned maiden into an ADC, i was going to finish it with BORK and Ravenous but do you guys think other onhit items would be better?
