You, good Sir, owe me some money. The money I spent on buying Yorick after reading your guide, enjoying it, and putting it to the test while the character was on free week.

Seriously, it's hard to express how much I've learnt, both from your guide, and from your discussion with DeathsAdvocate.
I'm glad someone expresses the same feelings I've always had towards Atma's Impaler ; so many guides out there, concerning different champions who are not even supposed to crit in the first place, and claiming it makes you soooo tanky and hit sooooo much harder ; not that it's totally wrong, but when you come to compare it with other armor items that bring much more to the table like Iceborn Gauntlet, Frozen Heart or Randuin's Omen...

It's quite a pity your guide stays stuck ex aequo at the second place, as I feel the top one occupies this place by default, cause there is not much going around Yorick. It clearly can't claim to have as much personality as yours. So here, have my humble vote, and keep up the good work.

Bought Yorick recently and studied your build some before I played him. Went 7/0/8 in my first game as him and can't wait till I have played him a few more times and can start using him in ranked. Upvoted the guide earlier so don't think it will show up on my comment (new to this mobafire thing).

Just picked up Yorick during the sale and looked around at the guides and yours seems to hold the most information. I am learning alot about this champ and how to play him.

Hey Athan, fill in the little boxes on top of publish/save/view.
If you fill them in, your guide will be displayed in the top section, I believe.

Happened to me, filling in the boxes fixed it (:

Hello! I'm doing a mini-review in exchange for a review from you as part of your review marketplace :)

As a caveat, I must warn you that I know next to nothing about Yorick, so I will not review any of the content. Instead, I would like to give you a few pointers on formatting.

  • I know you won't change it, but this is a plea for some BBcoding. I'm not saying you should go completely crazy, but a little color here and there wouldn't hurt to help focus the reader's eyes on important things. I trust that you are very knowledgeable about Yorick, and I'm afraid that you are turning away readers who would really benefit from your knowledge just because you won't throw in some headers and coloring!
  • You chapters in the table of contents are numbered incorrectly[/color]. 1, 3, 4,....
  • In the table of contents: Re-name "Mid and Early Game" -> "Early/Mid Game", like your graphic.
  • Maybe re-order your sections? I think "Summoner Spells" should come before "Skill Sequence". "Runes", "Masteries", and "Summoner Spells" one after the other would make sense because that is all decided pre-game.
  • Put "When to Pick Yorick" and "Synergies" before "Runes". Picking your champion comes even before those pre-game decisions.
  • "Teamfights" should come after "early/mid game"
  • You use a lot of spoilers for the Masteries, Runes, and Items sections because you have so many different builds, which is fine. However, for the beginner's sake, perhaps choose just 1 build that you use most commonly, take it out of the spoiler and display it normally. This will help beginners a lot because beginners tend to want clear direction before they are comfortable experimenting with different builds.
  • I don't think the way you display items in the items section makes sense. Why would I ever buy an 8s item if I can buy a 10s? See what I'm getting at? Rather, you should present them similarly to the way you present them in your cheat sheets.

Well, that's all I got. Hope it helps. I look forward to your review of my guide :)


Thank you for your review. I will return your review at some point.

I can't agree with some of your points, though. The reason the chapters are 1-3-4 is because the "Table of Content" itself is a chapter; It's chapter 2. But why would i put that in the table of contents ^^?

I'd have to change the "Early/midgame" - good catch mate.

I don't agree on the summoner spell and runes thing. These are the things you will fix once you decided to play your champ, or rather, when you decide to pick Yorick up. Then, once you decided to play him, you put up runes/masteries. I doubt many people think of synergies/when to pick Yorick BEFORE they make runes/masteries, because, let's be honest, they don't care untill after they've played a bit.

Same thing with moving "teamfights" down below "early/midgame". I'm sure people are more interested in the teamfighting at first; then they will come back to get details on his early-game, once they've felt him. That's just how i logically think - Some people might think differently, but this is how it works for me, at least.

The item thing is simple; Buy the high-tier items if you don't need anything else. I expect people to have common sense. Does the enemy only have magic damage outside of their ADC? Get Frozen heart, then buy Spirit Visage and Warmog's. This is logic to me, and i like to make the items tiered. All items have small descriptions and usage-helps below them. '

I'll fix some of the other things you mentioned.

Cheers
