i think his ghouls should last longer. 5 seconds or so isnt enough for them to do much of anything. Lvls 1-5 his ghouls are now nearly worthless, which is pretty sad. Not that I play him much... But he is one of the very small handfull of characters i play if im forced to play top.

have you played against him yet since the nerf? hes still annoying and hard to lane against just not as hard and the amount of time the ghouls are out is enough to stop someone from farming past level 4 when he can use all three

too much yorick hate... <.<

i like him. I admit he is not hard to play, but thats the thing. no champion can excell at everything. He goes a very nice laning and usualy is "just there" in teamfights, depending on build, IMO. Meta helps him, because it allows him to replicate a full-beserk mode champion.

i like the concept. i'm not saying the ammo/summoning/permanent minions is bad, i just think it should be on another champion, probably an AP carry. Also, the way he is now fits the passive decently. If you base it on an ammo system, you'd risk having ridiculous numbers on his passive.

The nerfs actually arent that big of a deal if you dont spam ghouls like an idiot.

Haven't played against him yet, but playing with him before was so incredibly frustrating.

*walks up to a minion wave to try and farm, Yorick sends his ghoul and I'm forced to retreat. The ghoul dies, and I walk up to the wave to try and farm, but Yorick sends another ghoul and I'm forced to retreat. The ghoul dies, and I walk up to the wave to try and farm, but Yorick sends another ghoul and I'm forced to retreat. The ghoul dies and I walk up to the wave to try and farm, but Yorick sends a ghoul, ults, ignites me, and I die while not being able to run from all his slows*

That's literally all that happens against Yorick if your jungler doesn't comprehend how important it is to camp him. You get like 2 CS while he gets 20 CS, then he eventually kills you because he just spent the past 5 minutes slowly harassing you while at the same time zoning you out and free farming just by clicking a button every time you're nearby. It's the most boring and frustrating match-up you could possibly have. Ever.

I'm curious as to how a Yorick vs Yorick match-up would pan out though. They'd probably have completely even stats and like 40 farm each 15 minutes in assuming neither got ganked, lol.

The thing about Yi is, Yorick can send you as many ghouls as he wants, every damage he does you just Meditate away. He has no real burst damage, only sustained damage. At lvl 1-4 it will be a bit hard for Yi but afterwards yorick brings him down to 1/2 hp by wasting a ton of mana and Yi just heals all back. And Yi can still farm vs him with Alpha Strike and normal attacks cuz he doesn't care about Yorick in the lane. After Youmuu's Ghostblade and Wriggle's Lantern Master Yi even outrades Yorick and kills him in a 1vs1 fight (and if not, huehuehue, Meditate, what damage Yorick dealed?). He also can't outrun Yi cuz there can be only one Highlander.
