Yorick Theorycrafting

[quote=Nighthawk]So, I wanted to get some theory crafting in about Yorick. k so a) Manamune + Atma's + Triforce + BV? I thought about combining the two things and it didn't work horribly badly, so, how viable is that? Probably I would go MM + Triforce, and then depending on what I want Atma's or BV. Also, Chalice on Yorick instead of MM? As a joke build I thought about just taking Chalice and then stacking AD, or going Atmog's + SV + FoN or something like that. Thoughts?[/quote]

[quote=Searz]He works so perfectly with a Manamune+Metagolem build so I don't see why you'd wanna theory craft on it. Edit: Yea, exactly like Nick said.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]^ best get manamune, boots, sheen, then warmogs atmas. finish tf or get fon depending on enemies.[/quote]

[quote=gwadzila]I actually really like experimenting on Yorick. Void Staff isn't half bad (amazingly). His W scales 1:1 with AP and his W and E both deal magic damage. SV is OK Chalice is OK Metagolem works fine on him, but, it's more interesting to do other stuff =P Oooh, thinking about it, gunblade might be pretty good. IDK, I think AP is ok with him as long as it isn't your main goal. Rylai's might be good too, makes all your main spells slow (actually, maybe not Q, idk) Sooooo yeah.[/quote]

[quote=Chaotic Bliss]I have to say that an HP heavy build is the way to go. I play him as a bulky AD, and its always fun. I dont Atmog's but I still do pretty well. MM, CDR Boots, FM, BV, SFC, and Atma's. And if my team is a lil low on dmg output, I take Trinity over the SFC. But thats just me.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Support Yorick ftw. Good harass in lane and junk. You just need your carry to buy boots pots or something or run something that can sustain itself. CV/flash. philo/hog. Later, Aegis, Frozen heart, Chalice, Shurelyia's, sould shroud if you like, whatever you see fit for a support or working for that game. 0/9/21 or 9/0/21 Logic; I think Yorick's ult is his main strength, and otherwise he's just annoying in team fights, and a guy who wins lane phase in top lane. I suspect he'd help win lanes in bot lane, be every bit as annoying, not need any farm, and you'd still have utility in a support via slows, and a Yorick ult. IMO, could be really strong. I haven't tried it, it's all theorycraft.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210]I have tried support Yorick bottom and it works very well. It counters most bottom lanes very hard. Yorick basically takes all the damage, heals himself, and grants his AD carry free farm. His slow is a very effective tool to secure skill shots. His mid range control is simply insane. He can tank dragon like a boss and jungle ganks are nothing to fear.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]I suspect Yorick is secretly a support champion and people will find more succes when he is played as one than they feel when they solo top with him. I could be wrong, just a DuffTime hunch.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Honestly, he works in all lanes decently well. In mid he's fairly annoying and can shrug off the poke that most champs can do. He does have some extreme mana problems though. Manamune is a must IMO. I picked it up way before everyone said it was good on him.[/quote]
