On gamescom I asked a Riot member what the counter to Yorick is and he said Renekton.
For the record, this proves nothing. Riot doesn't know their own game as well as pro players do. Most Rioters aren't very high elo.

Thanks to Lugignaf for the sig!

Phreak is the exception as are like...2 other Rioters (I think) to what Psi said.
But for the most part they make the game and WATCH/LISTEN to what pros do then they (more often than not) adjust things they see as "too strong".
Examples:
Rengar's planned (or did they hotfix it already?) AP ratio reduction
Janna shield/movespeed nerfs
Corki Valkyrie CD
Ezreal's Essence Flux base damage/width
Graves's Quickdraw/Buckshot/True Grit (not all at once but adjustments that have been made
Alistar's Headbutt range.
There is more, but ideally Riot simply pays attention to what happens in tournaments and does their best to "re-crunch numbers" in order to provide a more balanced gaming experience.

You need to log in before commenting.
Because Udyr will survive, not win.
He can't trade at all without running straight up to him and Yorick will kite him way before he does that.
Sure Udyr has the shield, but it's not like you're going to have it up all the time.
But wouldnt you say laning against yorick is more about surviving rather than winning, thatsmwhy cho gath is good, he can sustain well enough to survive
