Perhaps the best written guide I've seen on Mobafire. Great grammar and in depth, step by step, explanations that aren't leaving me feeling as though I was missing any pre-requisite info.

Do you have a video demonstration of how to solo baron?
A short video that clearly showed the movements for getting baron to attack which target at what time would be perfect!

I was wondering if the new wit's end could work on Yorick as an aggressive alternative to magic resist items.

Nooo, don't tell people how to beat us filthy Yasuo mains!

Hello I liked your guide but wanted to ask you something.Why do you think Conqueror is better than Resolve tree, isn't is hard to proc it you have only q and e to activate it before 6 level ? Much love <3

Unless I'm mistaken, your ghouls can also proc Conqueror.

Quick question on your yorick abilities path. I play top lane yorick and i've seen that you max W after your Q. My question is why does that ability need to be maxed before E? Knowing that a lot of aggro that yorick can dish out and the targeting he can do is with his E ability. Why not have that ability on a lower cooldown. I've seen that after dishing my W out properly i get my team to engage/or i engage 1v1 and get the job done. I don't see a need to have that ability come quicker than my E unless i need to disengage. What's your reasoning behind maxing W second. Thanks

Hey bud,

Generally when it comes to playing Yorick, is 100% the first ability to level. The remainder is somewhat conditional, because can be extremely useful against selective opponents like , , , , , and many more. If your opponent has a gap closer of some sort, then the extra levels into your will not do much outside come off cooldown quicker - generally the health is the reason you level it higher. If your opponent has no gap closer, then they get stuck inside the wall and are forced to waste their valuable attacks onto the wall to be freed or onto to win the trade. Either way, you win in that situation - which is why max second is so strong against specific champions.

ranked up second can be useful since you can re-cast your spell again faster and the damage goes up nicely, but in reality, you're only going to be throwing out one per rotation. You'll lead with , trap them in , and then auto with mist walkers raised. After that, you simply auto-attack them to death, it's unlikely you'll be able to follow up with another throughout the entire trade.

Since you rely on having pre-set up graves to trade, the cooldown is irrelivant until you actually start fighting in a teamfight setting or taking on multiple people at once. And by the time this happens, you've invested some gold into cooldown reduction items which acts to lower the cooldown in supplement for rank not up the spell.

Whatever suits your playstyle the most, but generally do the following priority order if you're against an opponent which works well against: R > Q > W (3 points) > E > W (Remainder).

Otherwise, you'll just simply R > Q > E > W.

I hope that makes sense.

Hey Ninetalesoce,

This is an awesome looking guide you have here !

I wonder, ever tried out with and / or second? Those are some really nice runes that you can play when playing , (or so i've heard). Other then that, really nice guide. :)

Hey there!

A lot of people do enjoy taking secondary, primarily because they gain access to and . While i agree they are good runes and have a good impact, they are conditional runes. They come into effect at least 10 minutes into the game, and the best way i like to think about it is you are never guaranteed a mid-game. You're only ever guaranteed an early game.

With this in mind, I used to invest into for the old since it had a nice interaction with 's . Since the nerf, i don't feel the urge to take the path anymore.

secondary is an interesting one because while it does offer some nice things, it's just not the ones i overly appreciate. is a great way to keep securing your lead in lane and secure every cannon, and can provide you with the ability to spend 300 gold elsewhere. Simiarly, timewarp tonic can help your survivability when paired with a .

But all in all, your secondary path always comes down to your personal preference. It won't break your game and you won't lose because of it, so it's not in the same importance as your primary. Generally i'd just say choose whichever suits your playstyle the best.

I see well that does make a lot of sense, the most of the players i have seen has always used second so i generally just tought that was the main, but i guess not anymore.

Also you never really answered my main question which was if you have played with and why you chose not to play with these runes.

My issue with is that it is a keystone that stagnates in a way. It doesn't really pop-off and let you start rampaging on people once you get some items, it is usually there to make your laning more comfortable and your mid game a bit easier.

For that reason alone i really haven't invested much time into it. I have used it over the last season a bit when playing him top lane, but primarily when he was nerfed and I was constantly versing trading top laners like . In these match-ups, you could run and start with and just use your as a harass/trading ability while ignoring stacking graves.

It worked really well and netted you a lane advantage a lot of the time, but unfortunately once your opponent gets a few items it slowly becomes less useful. I would say pairs really well with the and build which is what i used to run it with. So if you were to use it, i would recommend you play durability/tank .

The emphasis of this build is the slow from the where you can activate the effect of and , and kite around taking less damage from your opponent while your mist walkers start shredding the opponent with stacks and auto attack damage while you wait for your cooldown to come back available. It's great for 1v2 situations, not so good for split-pushing speed and doesn't work too well for teamfighting.

But it's a strategy that a EUW player used to hit challenger with last season so it's been proven to work with the right skill and champion knowledge.

Hey there!

Great work doing this guide, the amount of info it has almost made me begin playing as , you talk about him in such natural way that it's very clear to understand what you're saying. The only thing (well, actually one of two) that bothered me a bit was using the [center] tag everywhere, it kinda breaks the designs by making the alignment appear a bit off. The other thing that I mentioned is the red text, for some reason the color red makes the font become slightly distorted, so I'd either refrain from using pure red or bold it (not this, but this).

Anyway, great guide, keep working on it as it has a great potential. See ya!

Hey dude!

I really appreciate the reply. I had similar thoughts regarding the colour red and i was a bit worried about the centre-ing. I've gone and redone the parts that you brought up, hoping you'd give some feedback on how you feel about it now.

Cheers for the help, i really appreciate it.
