Felt needed to get a user, to praise this guide, a big fan of the high dps who help yorick out in so many ways :)

I have mis matchede my own build of it, that works better for me. same procuduer as your's going merc tread boots(hate all that evil cc) 5th item glacial spike, 6 (like the ghostblade, bad at aktivating it though) i am currently eksperimenting on phanthom dancers, for more attack speed, attack speed plus bloodthierster = more live for yorick = awsome ;D.likeing it with your build.

thanks for getting me on the right path :) Great Guide

Very true, you will want someone like Ashe who can harass or keep the enemy discouraged from jumping on you. Having a support champion with you will make it harder to keep the lane.

I do not blame you for seeing Yorick as a caster ranged type. His style is a bit unusual which not only made it hard for them to balance out initially, but also for players to control. Even though he does his best in melee range, I really enjoy still being able to act like caster while meleeing too.

I gave it a try and while I did get last hits on champions better, the slowness on Trinity is more luck based. Had more tanky champions get away even with Q and W on them when the slow didn't proc on Trinity. But I did see the possibilities of Trinity working on squishier teams. I'll add it in the possible choices too.

True, but I felt E helped offset it a little. Black Cleaver was listed for not only the armor reduction and AD but also the attack speed. Either way, that is indeed a weakness of his that I've noticed.

yes in your build its hard for a trinity force to fit in i would trade it frozen mallet because the extra dmg you get from sheen is in my opinion better then the extra hp from frozen mallet.

But maby something to set at variable items

i wouldn't put lifesteal on Yorick, he is just too slow to really profit from it. overall the guide is pretty decent. and i normaly don't need lifesteal, because is steal everything with E.

This is about as close to a tankish champ I will get. I'm usually range or as the avatar implies I dig Sona. Yorick is kind of Necromancer like which is my go to class. What I found so far with Yorick is to teamed up with a ranged player. I was laning with Ashe and you can see the results. Top one was when I changed to this build. I think the concept matches my games style.

Awesome! I am glad another Yorick player is doing well =)

I've had the best luck with this build so far. Well done.

I do want to find a place for Trinity but it is difficult to find a good spot for it especially considering its price. If he wasn't so mana intensive we could easily drop Tear for Sheen and make Trinity where Manamune would've been. Any suggestion for where to put Trinity would be good. I could essentially try Trinity over Frozen Hammer but losing that HP I am not sure yet...

nice build dude im not so fan of the lifesteal on yorick but you right the AD of bloodthirster is nice aswell.

He is a very new champ so needs lots of testing but did you ever tried trinity force, because sheen and his Q is rly sick dmg

I appreciate your praise and glad it worked out for you =) Hoping the same can be said of others as well and if not then I hope they'll leave suggestions for me to test out.
