Could I go Muramana too for more AD? Seems like the early tear would help with mana issues too.

I've only been playing LoL for about 6 months, but this build feels like I'm cheating. I've risen 3 ranks since using it, and probably could have been more if I didn't stray from using it.

Thank you

Now this is amazing news! If a build feels like cheating to you, it probably just means that it fits like a glove to your playstyle. I've had several "how is this legal in this game" moments, but most of the time it was just builds that were meant for the players to use (not Tank Kled though,RIP Tank Kled, that build was fun while it lasted).
3 whole ranks is quite a feat, sheesh. Comments like this make my day, thanks for leaving one!

I've just checked and I'm 15/8 using this build. 65% win rate.

Sometimes it's not spectacular, split pushing to put map pressure on, but often it does the job.

One question I have as a newbie, is there such a thing as too much lethality/armour pen? If none of the enemy has any armour items like in my last game?

One thing I've started doing more is going longsword as an opening item to get to the Serrated Dirk faster. Once I'm there, ghouls are a real menace and can chunk up to 50%. Is it the 30 AD that makes the difference?

I'll keep going and keep you updated, dude. Thank you!

Lethality and armor pen are always beneficial, because even if you shred someone's armor to zero, you keep on shredding which in result multiplies your damage against them. And if they eventually respond with building armor, you might possibly stack so much shred, that even with armor items they'll struggle to get back up to positive values.

The exact damage calculation formula is: rawPhysicalDamageOutput * (100/(100+Armor)).

So yeah, getting a very early Dirk enables you to completely disappear people with a proper 4 ghoul E into all-in, and it's both because of the AD and the shred.

The cool thing about this build is, even if you go like 0/3 early, as long as you stop feeding and farm up safely, you can reliably get back into relevancy, because with about 3 items you can one-shot ADCs and other squishies, no matter how complete their build is. But with that in mind, this is League, you won't be doing amazing around 50% of the time, having a 60+% winrate is already way over-curve. I sure am curious where will you end up as you spam this build.

Thank you for the explanation.

Would you consider Futures Market instead of biscuits? I seem to sell 2 biscuits most games...

(1) |

If that's your style, sure. For all the fanciness, Future Market is just Gathering Storm but giving money instead of stats, it's pretty good. I personally love the biscuits too much to swap, but maybe that's because I'm crazy with my mana. But I can see FM working pretty great.

Terrible build

(1) |

Care to elaborate?

This build its great but its not great againts scaling champss like Nasus and Tryndamere too if you dont know how to actually play vs him

(1) |

Yo, thanks for checking this out. In my opinions, yes, Tryndamere is a very bad match up for this build, as you can't reliably tank and kite his ultimate until he falls over, but for Nasus - easy money, you can melt him at any point of the game, just don't stand in his melee range 24/7 because that will get you two shot. E him, W him and keep producing new ghouls by last hitting, your goons will take care of everything from there.

Hi there! Just wanted to say thank you for this! I haven't played LoL all that long, I only started beginning Season 11, but I main Yorick practically since the start and your beginner guide was of great help to me in getting better with the champ.

Just wanted to say: This build is a blast. I am probably not a good enough player to pull it off al that successfully, but it's a lot of fun. Got my first S rating with this build yesterday after about 5 or 6 games with it and I'm going to stick with it for now. In normals, I tend to not win many games because I often get matched with Plat players, probably because I play too much with my friends who have been playing this game since beta in some cases, but I'll try it out in ranked today.

Thanks for your work, cheers!

Ayy. This is great news, nothing cheers me up more than seeing people improving through my guides, that's exactly what I'm doing this for.

I mean, if you got an S you are doing something right, and I'm pretty sure you will adapt around this build with practice soon enough. Consistency is key, with enough practice you will eventually become natural at piloting whatever build you are rocking, and then you can focus on improving your macro and fundamentals, which really is where the real skill in this game lies. Good luck in ranked, keep on having fun, and I hope you'll catch up to your friends soon!
