And when he turns out as bad as Yorick was you'll all be QQing about wasted IP and I'll be chuckling to myself.

High risk high reward doesn't sound like a viable 5s play style. His damage has to be obscenely high to compete with this current meta....I mean higher burst than a fed Akali imo.

Sounds squishier than shaco too boot...."Trade durability for damage" he might not have his place until after more re-works.

Trinity tank anyone?

-With the possible addition of Atma's, and Bloodthirster

He sounds like he works a lot like Pantheon. If built slightly tankier he could probably still deal insane damage.

I thought this kill or be killed would be like Akali, but Talon seems to be able to kill anything, and Akali cant. On the other hand, looks like he's even easier to kill.

Yorick is far from being waste of IP.

But I have to agree, he'll be useless in Summoners Rift during late game. He must be a great ganker, but a terrible team fighter. Lets see.

Considering the all-or-nothing, I'd say that hes 3150. But if RIOT releases an "OP" champion for only 3150, everyone will buy him and people will QQ (well, if he only has damage and the player is clever enough, theres no telling what could happen).

6300 is the price. And the theory can prove it:

He's from the dark side of the force. A merciless assassin. Do you think it'll be easy to summmon him? You'll need a lot of influence.

He's going to be "OP" on release. The assassin formula has proven it. Have assassin, inadvertently OP due to nobody knowing hoe to counter. Nocturne was like that too.
