Alot of people use Yorick by putting ghouls in the line. Yes thats what you are suppose to do but thats not it... you have to go in there and then execute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not be afraid of going in even if you only have shovel. Hit them with the shovel and dont stop. Then they will realize like oh **** he aint going to stop hitting me they will turn and then run. thats why you hit your slow skill. and its game by that time the rest of your skills are done on cooldown. This works alll the time.

pros...
heavy hitter
gang banger
spammer
stays in lane

cons...
slow at running
not a farmer
semi squishy
very difficult to use

This is on depending on the situation and what items your carrying. Just keep farming you can, but when someone tries to get you dont hesitate to take the opportunity. Go for the kill dont run... why not run??? are you a noob??? neg well yes ahem no. do not run away cuz your minions gots your back. thats like 4v1 right there so why run? and the more minions you have out the stronger you get.
