Mana/reg seals help greatly. With a philo you can spam all you need.

The old Yorick had mana problems. New one definitely does not. If you're careful and don't both run out of mana and health, you can deal with it.


Completely disagree... Yorick has mana problems which is why manamune is pretty much core on him. I run mana regen seals, and you can't spam ghouls. Even with tear you can't spam as much as you need.
And another thing, if you're running mana regen runes, how are you gonna be a good support? Armor reds? I always thought supports needed the armor reds AND yellows.

Your Yorick? I mean I sometimes run armor marks if I want to change it up, but seriously your Yorick. Just keep spamming E and you'll be fine. Zone Zone Zone! Your midrange is all you need against most AD carries + supports. Make their support waste that mana!

@Editz

Also Manamune is great for solo lane where farming is possible. Bottom lane, where farming isn't really an option, you should get philosopher's stone to deal with mana problems along with your runes. Make your AD carry's life a little easier and cause chaos while gaining gold

You don't need to blast away a million skills if you're the support. Just harass with the life stealing ghoul. That's it.

When I am playing Yorick support I find myself taking a more aggressive role. You can run the lane with your reach and constant harass. This can shut down their AD carry and force their jungle to pay attention to you. If you expect ganks and shut them down early you will easily streamroll the entire match. This is why I run mana regen seals while focusing on gold per 5s. Just hope your top and mid don't get owned in the lane. Taking armor seals is no big deal they just don't cater to my playstyle as much as regen does.

If you feel you need armor, mana regen blues aren't bad either.

You could run both mana regen blues and yellows if you really really wanted lol.

Lol I don't think I would need THAT much spam Duff, but Yorick's aggressive support is pretty confusing to the current bottom meta group. They simply aren't prepared to be bossed around by a Yorick not focusing CS.

It has the potential to be strong. I haven't experimented much with it.

Ideally you'd be dropping a ghoul on someone's head whenever you get the chance. Lol. I don't know what amount of regen it would take to be able to pull that off however. Probably with utility spec and either yellows or blues you'd be close to it.

I like the idea of a Chalice on support Yorick. He wouldn't be attacking/casting enough to warrant a Tear/Manamune TBH. And Chalice will keep giving better and better regen as you level then you can simply sell it for a pretty small loss when the regen is no longer needed. Instead of begrudgingly trying to hock off a half-baked Tear or Manamune.

Gold is precious to a support seeing you have no reliable farm, saving 1200 odd gold is huge in the laning phase. That's your Philo and 1/2 your HoG right there. Plus the MR is nice to have.
